SO I decided to post a build thread for my ZJ. Right now, I'm in Stage one on my build which is getting it road worthy and legal.
Current items on my punch list are:
-Replace blown brake line
-Replace Exhaust
-fix condensation issue in driver's side headlight
-replace DS front U-joint

so decent little punch list, following by mods and bring this vehicle to a trail ready rig. So stay tuned

 

May want to have this moved...

Done.

 

Tuned in and ready to see some progress.

 

So finally weather has broke enough to get some work done (yay!!!) I got home tonday, and decided to take the headlight out so I can reseal the lens and stop water getting inside of it ... didn't realize what was involved.... like seriousy I had to remove the bumper cover??



So my headache continues when I try to remove the the Driver's side headlight capsule from the assembly ... after 30 minutes I gave up and this happened much to the dismay of my roommate...



I have it in the house so I can dry out the light, and repair it... and after a short investigation, found the lens is separating from the headlight on the top section... so I'm going to seal it with Aquarium sealant until I get the new capsules in a little bit.

As of now, this is is how it sits in the driveway...


Tomorrow plan is to replace the bad brake line, seal the headlight/replace the bulb, and try to rig up the exhaust to stop it leaking, so I can get it through state inspection, I have a cat back ordered, however its been on backorder for two weeks and I just cancelled it. So I'm reordering from a different vendor, but as I say I need to get this one on the road ASAP as I need a vehicle..

 

The ZJ headlights just pull out and push in, there are 3 clips that hold it in to the header panel as well as the connector for the bulb, no need to remove the header panel . . nice jeep though! it looks clean! good luck on the build
