Might start getting the engine unbolted from everything and ready to come out, still need a new block and some rebuild components but it'll be good to be ready

Got the muffler off, putting my old temp sensor back in so I can take the new one and have enough money for the master cylinder. Haha

Tighten the track bar and installed a jk steering stabilizer on the comanche. All that's left to do is an alignment.

Well whoever painted the YJ painted over all the bolts and hinges. Can't fold down the windshield, which means I can't replace the cowl seal, which means my dash will continue to hold water every time it rains.

Went to start drilling out the passenger side rear shock bolts (uppers of course). Got started drilling a pilot hole. 7/16" or something like that. Started to break through the other side, that's when it snapped. Didn't have anything small enough to knock it out. None of my other bits would drill it. They'd get down to where the broken piece of bit is and throw in the towel.

I'm screwed. I don't have a lot of money to be buying bits and ****. I barely have enough time to even get it done before we take our vacation. Which involves a 750 mile trip one way. I really wanted my other rear shock.

Actually runs great. The lockup is very effective, and the 3.07s are keeping me at 12-15 mpg.

Did you try breakin the welded nut. I was only able to get 1 top rear bolt out with a reverse dill but. Te other one I punched the welded but and fished a new bolt through. It's a common problem

Sure do. I'm open to suggestions.

Tried like hell because I hate drilling. Started with a BFH and a punch. Then tried the air hammer. Nothing.

Well aware of how common it is. Lol. Snapped 2/4 on my 91 4/4 on my 99 (the one I was originally talking about is the 99)

Cool. I've never seen a passenger side floor board before! The sticker is neat too
