Im getting behind in this thread. Recently, it's been painting license plate screws (hey, im a perfectionist), installing blue led lights in the footwells wired to my parking lights, adding a Browning decal (among other decals and stickers), adding a backup light to my roof rack in preparation for tint haha

Finished taking out the front seats and pealed back a bit of carpet to get an idea of its condition. I am happy to report that it is in extremely good shape. Some surface rust that needs to be taken care of, and one tiny hole over the drivers side frame rail right about where my left heel would sit while driving. right now it might be 1/2" by 1/4" but I figure after clean up it will be about a 1"x2" hole. I still need to pull the center console and take the carpet out completely to fully assess the damage, but I am happy with what I have seen so far. So much better than what a fellow Canadian posted earlier

I have a bunch to do this afternoon and they are calling for more rain tomorrow so I probably wont get the carpet out till Thursday or Friday, then I will take pictures of it before clean up.

I've been slacking on this thing lately. Not that I haven't been working on it, but I work at such a snail's pace. Today I got the driver's side shackle (mostly) cut out. It was kinda nerve racking with the gas tank filler tube right there though. I had to run to the store to buy a 3" cutoff wheel instead of the 4-1/2" angle grinder.

I also "tried" to burn my leaf spring bushings out. It didn't work as well as it does on youtube. I need an acetylene torch instead of MAP gas.

Finally got my Jeep running after fixing a autozone fuel pump issue. I feel bad but I needed the jeep, stress level was getting too high. I had a blast last night just getting down some back roads and trails.




I also installed my new junkyard clock & rear wiper+ wiper switch. All working great in my base model. The clock needed a fuse under the dash to work.

Another good way is to drill through the rubber until sleeve comes out. Then knock bushing case in and out.
