Okay... I have been wanting to do this forever.... But my CPU hard drive failed on me awhile ago and never got around to getting all of the photos.....UNTIL NOW! I recovered all of my jeep photos from when it was in it's infancy and can post them!:dance: So here is the evolution of my JEEP!
This is the first vehicle of any kind I have ever worked on.... Before this jeep, the most I would do to my cars was fill up the gas tank! LOL... and maybe change the oil every 5k miles!
So this is how I get "her" 18 months ago... Don't be fooled by the photo... I found it on CraigsList...I think the seller wetted the jeep then took a pic of it, made the pain look like it was super shiny.... None-the-less, I thought I got a good deal....91 YJ with 70k miles for a little over 2 stacks...body was in great shape too... just one little dent next to the rear passenger light!
I wasn't a huge fan of the sport style cage... So I had a great idea... to have some bars fabricated at a slight angle... I drew up a diagram, detailing it how I wanted...but when I got it back, it was straight.... I was kind of disappointed, but I figured I would get them re-done later!
Next.... It was time to get rid of the carpet, and freshen up the interior... Al thought the carpet was in decent shape, I was even happier when I ripped it out and didn't see too much rust.... it was only in a couple spots, mainly where the seats wear bolted to the tub.... So I cleaned it up real good, and made a rood trip to Rhino Linings... Got the tub sprayed and a small strip all the way around the outside as well!
to be continued......
