yj7 trail and summer cruiser

[jetboat]

Took the day off yesterday and got a little work done. *I went to the junkyard and got a new 4wd shifter (broke the threads off mine). *I installed the ds new brake lines but ran into issues with the pass side. *Shocks went on easy and fit perfect (used the grinder to cut the old ones off). *I also talked myself out of keeping the YJ hood for "a future project". *I also replaced the tierod and drag link ends. *realllly needs an alignment.

Took the scrappers 12 mins, was a well dressed man and his sun with a nice looking truck


Look at all the shiney parts

Progress pics will be awesome, I'll be watchin this thread for sure! I don't really mind the square headlights, but there's always a place in my heart for those CJ front ends

Awesome project, keep up the good work!

who ever said CJ front end parts bolt right on to yj's... was full of it! *






I was planning to run flat fenders *of but, I got these for $25 each. *I had to cut the living heck out them to get them to fit. *I also had to cut the snot out of the grille to get it in. *You have to cut the corners off the grille and hack a huge chunk out of the bottom to clear the PS box. *

I managed to break a ps line while I was fitting the grille so, new lines will have to be installed.


I talked to my neighbor and... my trans is DONE! *He is waiting for the torque converter to come back from the rebuild.

Ive herd that if you have a two inch body lift that is supposed to be easy than. Its well worth the work .

[jetboat]

a body lift would help avoid cutting but, you would still have to fab a new lower mount for the grille (which I still have to do).

I have fallen down on updating this thread.

Made some no weld radiator adapters






Metric to standard adapters

I did the flat fenders a couple weeks back. I was heading to a Jeep event today... at 11am my new rear bumper showed up, by 11:45 I was leaving with the new bumper install and new spacers made for the spare tire holder. Talk about thrashing, I have to say my neighbor was a huge help.

My bumper came in from Nates4x4.com. *A quick prime and paint and on it went.




This weekend I picked up the trans I plan to use... *Dana 300. *I need to flip it and twin stick so, it wont be in by winter.

Took a trip to Badlands in Attica In... I need lockers and a cage
