That's a good point, I was planning on washers but maybe I should add a plate back there and sandwich it all together.

I went back and forth on this as well, it seems odd just thinking about mounting it this way with the bolts loaded entirely in tension. Plus, you don't see them mounted this way often. To get comfortable I ran the numbers, had to dust off/refresh my school days (hope I did it right ha). The...

Changing gears to the front bumper, finally got to use my new bender and compressor. I spent at least an hour staring at the front end trying to figure out the winch situation and I'm happy with where it turned out. These jeeps actually have the bolt pattern and cutout for a factory winch...

Sorry but I don't have too many details for you, it was part of the shop when I bought the place and I have no idea where it came from, it's 24" wide at a 45deg incline. It is great for a shop, big enough to get stuff up and down but doesn't take up too much room. @zmotorsports and @1969honda...

Finally getting to play with some new tools, got the compressor mounted and started on the MJ front bumper with my new JD2 Model 32 w/ Swag air/hydro, I'm very happy with the setup. I also picked up a couple JD2 bendicator protractors and a Swag off plane bend bracket which are pretty sweet. I...

Interior is complete! Everything fits (even found a cigarette lighter at the junkyard), everything works (I guess the heat/A/C could us some work), and everything is clean. There are still a few dings and stains but it's character I guess... The sound system is awesome, I'm very happy with...

Finally pulled the trigger on a KSL upgrade today - 220V, 5hp, 2 stage, 60gal. The PO used it one time and due to unfortunate circumstances had to get rid of it.

My plan was just to leave them faded and old ha, but what you're recommending sounds like a better option; what did you use?

Made some door panels. Used the old panel as a rough template, then slowly cut/massaged to get to fit well, used 1/8" board, spray adhesive, and the same cover material I used on the visors and back cab panel. After I had the first passenger side panel fitting well the driver side was easy...

I also have the same machine and have been very happy with it.

Based on the ratchet strap holding up the exhaust only being on one side, I'm thinking it's just one sided unfortunetly... We gotta leave this world behind...

Alright, so what's the plan? Axle swap? Why type of lockers? I'm guessing 35s? Definitely going to need some rock sliders. You've already got the offroad/baja lights. I'd worry about how much that front bumper will mess with your approach, might want to tuck that back. Not a lot of room...

This is a whiskey on the side type of task but pretty satisfying. Tore the sun visors apart, reused the same cardboard interior as it was in good shape. Used spray adhesive to recover, then clamshelled the frame back inside and stitched it shut. Also recovered the cab panel behind...

Slow and steady, but it's progress. Finished the sound deadening. Cleaned up/patched the old raggedy headliner and recovered it. Put some strips of velcro on it to adhear to the cab. Headliner installed. The carpet is cut and fits nice and tight but it's not really relaxing and lying...

Fixed the hood latch and started reassembling the interior. Applied cheap Amazon sound deadening material (Kilmat) to the floor and back of the cab, this material was great to work with as it's easy to cut, lays down and adheres well, I recommend a good 2" roller. I can see how this material...

That looks great!

I think my sister-in-law would probably be interested in doing this work. Her business is called Deadhead Apparel. She does not do embroidery but does hat patches, shirt/hoody printing (not vinyl), vehicle decals, and engraving of mugs and what not. This is a link to her FB page...

Thoughts on sound deadening mat, is it worth it? Figured I was already this far why not. This is just some Amazon mat that has good reviews, lays down and adheres really well. My one concern is trapping moisture, but figure if I seal the ends well it should be fine. Goal is to get the carpet...

I didn't realize, "Spring Brake Thingy" was a real company/product, I was very surprised when it popped up in the google search... fitting name.
