The YJ buggy got new floorpans roughly installed
and got the seat bars welded in and then got the new MasterCrafts mounted 
we also mounted the new PS hood-vent and hood-pins. Overall a very productive day!Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Yeah there was an orange Jeep sitting at a dealership service parking lot, looked like it had been there for a while, figure if I have time I’ll be nice and go back and put my old one on his. [emoji6]

Replaced my fan clutch and blew out 10 lbs of dust from my radiator fins. Last steps in my cooling system overhaul.

Im sure it does. They better at least wash it for you when they’re done with it. Is that still even something dealerships do anymore?

Tomorrow all the new Poison Spyder stuff is going on the Jeep. So today I spent some time prepping. Started by ripping the stock trimmed flairs and the rear bumper off.
Then gave it a quick wash to get the grime off from where the flairs were.
Then I removed the spare tire so I could raise the Evo carrier to its highest position. I had been running one spot down from the top all this time. I think I was trying to preserve some visibility when I originally installed it, but with the new bumper going on which doesnt have a cutout for the tire to occupy, I need to make sure the spare is up and out of the way.
Now the spare is well above the frame rails so the bumper should have no problems with fitment.
And finally, because I couldnt wait, I loosely mocked up one of the flairs.
Tomorrow I'll go invade House Slimebones since he has every tool under the sun. We'll install the PS Crusher flairs and a BFH rear bumper.

Mine didn’t when they had it for a month and a half.

Looks good. Why did you decide on the PS rear with the evo front?

Because it is somewhat slim and minimalist. I considered the Evo high and tight but I didnt like how the frame rails poke out under it. I thought about the simple evo fascia but the only place my stock bumper took damage was in the corners so I figured some coverage there was important. It was basically the no frills option.

Gotcha. Yeah my corners have taken a few hits on the two door and are not straight. I should have had tubes welded onto them to prevent it. The four door has them and protects it better.

Looking forward to your stretch project. Lord knows I've considered it a few times.

Where do you weld in tubes in the corners?

Odaniels will but charge you, my truck and vans have free washes from Kelley’s. Too bad jeeps aren’t a Chevy product

I think you can see it here. If you need more pictures let me know.

Oh ok I see. Thought may it was something you somehow welded to the frame to protect your corners. No skins here yet so never mind.

Well the plan was to install the evo no limits on demand to my used rubicon sway bar and while that went smooth I realized I was missing a fitting to complete but figured I would check the rear locker.
Well the compressor keeps running so now I guess I need to find a leak somewhere!

It’s always something! Even when you think you get everything else wrapped up perfect something else always comes along
