I like the "family" YJ cage. Not perfect but with an aftermarket or custom front addition it's decent?

Well you got me thinking. After chatting with Mark I order the Genright YJ Stanchions. This will give me a good platform to add to the existing cage to keep the cost down. Will add a dash and top of windshield bar and triangle that into the B pillar spreader bar.

I really want that type of Speedbumps on the rear of my JK.

So the YJ had its madien voyage yesterday and I am very pleased with it. Handled great and is a great little wheeler. We did triple 7 and Milts mile and I was surprised but able to climb the middle Monkey on milts 98 inch wheel base is about as short of a wheel base that can do it. Fortunately I have the motobuilt boat sides on order because I did manage to hit each side of the body during our trip ☹️

It will also need a belly up kit of some sort. I hit the belly a few times. I want to try to incorporate my old custome XJ skid plate to the Yj. It will take some work but I think I can make it happen.

We have a winch on order so I also ordered a front Motobuilt bumper. Right now they have a free shipping on parts over $300 so I took advantage of that On the bumper and boat sides. With how low it sits and little longer wheel base it is really stable and turns so easily.

Katelynn even took it for a little drive and she did great for a 15 year old driving a manual while crawling.

I got to watch the YJ work all day yesterday. A solid build combined with driving skill equaled success. It did everything Kevin asked it to do.

Nice job on the Middle Monkey, and the self clearancing, boat sides are genius.

 

[Jinx]

Very Nice!

Spring under is a pretty amazing thing when is comes to climbing!

It will get the motobuilt boat sides very soon. That damage happened on Triple 7 earlier that day.

My motobilt bumper and boat sides showed up the other day. Mocked the bumper up and I like it. We have a warn winch coming in the next couple of weeks to complete it.

I pulled the procomp rear bumper off and took that and the front bumper to the powder coaters.

Got started on the boat sides. Only got the driver side done but They are awesome. Had a little trouble with the e-brake line but I got it to work. Passenger side should take a lot less time.

Those boat sides are a massive improvement in looks. They take it from an average boring YJ to serious business wheeler. 😎

The only thing I don’t like is the headlights. Throw some stockers back in there 🤣

Plus they cut out the damage I did to it.

They came with it. They are very bright. I kinda like them. At least they are square and not stickers.

Man, that thing is coming right along. Nice work.

Thanks Bart. It is easier to get things done now with my new job and working 3 12s instead of 4 10s with call. Life is more enjoyable now. 😉
