If those are the Pro Comp center caps you can remove their decal pretty easy. I just dumped boiling water into each one and waited 5 mins then used a plastic scraper and popped them off.

That is ****ing righteous, dude!

I didn't get jack **** done yesterday as I was in bed with food poisoning :angry:

This weekend I'll finally be able to sort out s bunch of miscellaneous, stupid things done, oh and change the oil finally.

Flexed it out to measure rear shocks.

Drove it. At home I approached the Jeep from the front, so did not notice this until coming up from behind in a parking lot...



Might as well replace both, and should probably plan to replace the j-bolts as well. (They're probably rusted up though admittedly I have not crawled up under there yet to see just how bad they are.)

Looks like Rockauto has the straps for cheap (like $18 for the set). I don't see the bolts there, and Advance, Autozone, and NAPA don't seem to have them. Morris does have them, but about $33 each!! (Maybe they're gold-plated?) Anyone have a source for the bolts that won't break the bank?

Remembered somebody coming up with something on that with a little creative thining. Quick Google search led here.

I've pulled my tank twice, 30 yr old straps and J bolts still are fine. But i'm pretty lucky with bolts and such being from NJ

Haven't needed to replace any yet on any of my Jeeps

That's a pretty neat custom approach! If I wind up having to replace the bolts I'll look at doing that.

Thanks man, im loving the look with those wheels.

Lol, same here. Went in early this morning got started on staightening the damage on the LH doors. Was gonna stay after and finish em up.

Pulled it back inside. Stared at it for a few minutes.

**** this. Shower and a frosty beverage just sounded so much better.

Drove it to work, ordered ZJ steering and a 3 row radiator so they will be here to install when I come in from the field.

Nice ! Black walls out, the center would really pull you in then !

Been sick all week. Haven't been able to work on anything ! This weeks gonna be much better ! Haven't driven her in a month !!! Next week for sure !!!

Just picked up 4 Monroe gas charged shocks for a police package XJ and all new MOOG front suspension bushings (sway bar, end links and control arms.).

Lol, nah im old school, i love whiteletters. If they wouldn't look goofy, id rock em on my BMW too.


Thanks for all the feedback everyone, im excited to see how this rig turns out.

So I am hoping some of you sandblasting gurus can help me out here. I picked up this brand and model sandblaster on Offerup for $5. It was 15 minutes from home and I could not help myself. Now I did not buy the one at the link below but again it is that exact one. Thinking it is a rebranded ALC. The gun trigger was frozen. Guessing from use and not being oiled. I freed it up. Thinking as long as I did not ruin the rubber part in there it should be OK. Time will tell. Now I did not get the 5 loose pieces you see and the black nozzle that the hose hooks up to attached to the gun. The hose is just secured with a hose clamp to the gun itself. I am thinking the nozzle that is on the gun in my picture comes off because there is a set screw there. But either it doesn't or it is frozen in good. Which is it? And if it does come off any ideas on to do this? Cause my compressor, while a decent size, still won't run the bigger nozzles so I want to buy the 13/64" one which requires less air.

For some reason I can't get my photo to upload. Hoping somebody can help anyway.
