    today i got the rear leafs bolted, took a while to cut out broken leaf's around the bolt and broke the two bolts in the shock mount and had to ez-out them



    still have to do brake line, driveshaft(have to change the angles with the t-case so the t-case dosen't shatter again) drop the t-case down and switch x-member.

        Last weekend i finished up on doing the brake lines, have to get my discs grinded down cause they have rust from 2 years ago. I took it up and down the street(rt.7) with the doors off and it went surprisingly well.



        Still have to do: Front and rear Bumper, Headliner, trim my fenders but leave the flares on. Change cross member, and a complete fluid change

        Next weekend hopefully i'll have time to do some electrical work (lights and radio)

          Today i decided to just finish the front bumpa, i had it in the garage for a week stripped down to nothing. Had to re-do the Highlift bolts cause one snapped off and the other was close to nothing



          Not much i can do this weekend, need to hook up the e-brake cables, and take a saw to my fenders. Any one have any tips for re-gluing a headliner? the 357 spray adhesive didn't work to well on the other headliner

            I would just pull the headliner down. No matter what you do to them they never seem to fit right again

                    Today i made a trip out to the JY and pulled a set of tj flares. Should i cut off the centering tabs used on the tj? and the lip that runs along the inside, do i have to cut that off to?
