What did you do to your YJ today?
 

I enjoy reading this thread on the American Jeep Forum, so let's start one here.
I installed TJ bumpers on my YJ. https://www.jeepscanada.com/attachme...ine=1313115464

Recently I made a speaker box out of a pvc elbow.https://www.jeepscanada.com/attachme...ine=1313199807
I also did the drop down tailgate mod.https://www.jeepscanada.com/attachme...ine=1313199807

I love that tail gate mod. Do you have a link to a nice "how-to"? Yesterday I removed my diff covers to inspect and be sure what I have: stocker 3.07s in seemingly decent condition.

It was not hard, you just need 2 gate hinges and some sheet metal screws. I am going to replace the screws with nutserts so I can use counter sunk bolts so it will look better.
I used swingset chain as well because its covered in plastic.

That's great. I have extra swing chain from the kids' play structure, so that should work great. What are you using to hold the chain ends?

Re: What did you do to your YJ today?
 

Sheet metal screws with a washer on it.

Awesome. Thanks.

well... not actually today, but in the last 10 days...

removed "sport" decals... and others
Paint: Body Proform trim black (semi gloss hides a lot of ...experience)
Hard Top: "Nutmeg" from home Depot
Floor and box: Rubberized rockerguard

Made new decals to go on the side above "Jeep" (Rebel Alliance)

Painted Steel Wheels Graphite metalic, put alloys away for summer.

That's it :) Pics to follow.

Last weekend I put in a 2" shackle lift and removed the trac bars.[IMG]https://www.jeepscanada.com/attachme...ine=1316965173https://www.jeepscanada.com/attachme...ine=1316965173
Softer ride now

This was yesterday, but I figure it still applies ;)
Dana 35: axles, carrier, bearings and pinion removed without mishap (gearing change).
Dana 30: Broke one bolt removing hub, 1/2 inch breaker bar removing axle nut from drivers' side, but eventually axle and hub were removed. Passenger side went smoothly, everything was removed without incident...almost. I broke one of the little bolts holding the vacuum disconnect cover when I used my air rachet to "remove" it (always double check the forward/reverse switch :hah: ). I was so exhausted from the drivers' side, I thought I would save some energy...HA! Carrier, bearings and pinion came out without issue. I even started installing the ring gear on to the LSD diff I bought. I got tired and decided I will finish another day though.
