What I did to my YJ today

So after my long list of things to do for my jeep, I finally got the sway bar disconnects installed. I haven't tested them but I have noticed the appearance to be much different. For some odd reason I feel like I can take on the world. I am stock, though I run on 31" tires so it makes me wonder. hmmm.... Anywho...I will be trying to find the bushings for the JKs telescopic tracbar I've acquired to install in the next few days. I have pictures just need to extract them from my phone.

Info on the dicos, it was a pain in the behind to remove them!! That's all I can say about that. Installation was a cinch and I cannot wait to go "flexing" soon.

As I mentioned before I have cleaned the carb and valve cover, they were covered in heavy grease and grime and oil and dirt and basically everything under the sun. I'll post pics tomorrow. I'm getting summoned by the woman to come to bed. It's 0230am. hmmm.... ;-)

Once I took out my disconnects, I never put them back in. I don't find any excesssive lean. Its a Jeep, not a Ferrari anyway.

Just got back from northern AZ (north of Grand Canyon) and Moab (rain). The Jeep towed behind the motor home. Did great. First start when back home - water pump screaming. Not a bad fix (once I figured out the belt adjustment over-thoughts on the power steering pump). Until I noticed a missing front exhaust manifold bolt. OOPs, not missing, broke off. Always fun to fix.

A lot of "nowhere" out here:

Well...I bought YJ #3 about 3 weeks ago for a plow jeep, and this is where it's at now. Had to black it all out, even if I only use it to plow with. Got new snow tires and cheap generic knock off's of soft 8's. Looks good, and the wheels were only $39 each.

Where did you find those wheels?

I took my dash apart today and removed 15 years of dust off the gage faces and then polished the plastic cover back to like new, reasimbled, then I just had to drive it for a wile, just to make sure it was working right, only took it out for about and hour, then I had to wash it:D

In the last month or so I have DIY lined the interior, added the flush mount led tails (harbor freight cheapos), replaced the valve cover gasket, installed one inch lift boomerang shackels, and tried to get the hard sliders to line up with no luck at all.

I'll get some night time pics tonight. My family came down to visit this weekend and we all went out to dinner last night they followed me home and said they were obnoxiously bright every time I hit the brakes. Also they must have a built in resistor or something because they do not do the rapid fire turn signal trick.

Looks good! BTW, nice to see another KY jeeper!

I think its the picture I used the stock tail light mounting holes as a guide they do look cockeyed in that pick don't they. Now you've made me want to go measure them.

well im not exactly sure but i think it from 1990 to 97 chrysler used a 20 gallon tank but they extended the vent tube about 7 inches down into the tank so you can only fill it up to 15 gallons. if you google wrangler 15 to 20 gallon gas tank conversion there are a couple of pages that tell you how to do it.

This wasn't today but recently. I installed a bumper/tire carrier, got a rim, 20 bucks and a spare. Before this I was rocking no tire carrier or spare. I felt naked and once the addition it gave me the sense that I can go anywhere and not be afraid of getting a flat.

It also adds some beefiness look to the jeep.
