wow, that is one monumental project. Props to you for giving a severely tired YJ new life. I bet you cant wait to back up and look at her when your done and see her gleam like new.

as for the galvanized body rumour, I heard it was just on the 95 model years, not 94 or any year before. I can actually lift my carpet up and see a gray zinc (I think thats what it is, zinc) coating underneath the paint where the paint has worn away from my foot rubbing the tranny tunnel.

good luck

I completely understand the situation with working on something despite the frugal criticism. If there would be any words of advice it would be to buy a $2000, 4 cylinder car if money is the concern. Otherwise, you lose money buying a new car by driving it or you put money into an old car by fixing it. Vehicles are money pits. I buy old cars and spend time fixing them because the satisfaction of my skill progression and the gradual completion of a long term project is worth all the time and money I put into it. Keep workin at it.

Hey, thanks alot for the encouragement....

I agree, that all cars are money pits, and you know that slogan, "It's a Jeep thing, You wouldn't understand" THAT IS SOOO TRUE...
Nearly everyone i talk too just doesnt get it...they see what I'm doing, and they look at me like I got ten heads...go figure?

Got some Quadratec goodies...

Just a quick update...

I went over the frame with Marine Clean and Metal Ready...Tommorow is my coat of POR-15...Man, quite a job!!!

Pics to follow...

Is that the 1.5" kit or the 3.5". The price difference is only $100 for an additional 2 inches.

theboxman71 · 10-23-2006, 11:51 AM

its the 1.5...I'm trying to avoid the higher lifts because I lack the funds to do all the other mods such as SYE and Drive shaft, regear...and so on...

Tim3852 · 10-23-2006, 04:50 PM

Ah, yeah. the thing with the 3.5 kit was that it gave all the angle readjusters and stuff. Also, up to i think like..33 u dont have to regear. TO each his own obviously, i just couldnt bare not to get it for only 100$ more

theboxman71 · 11-01-2006, 07:23 PM

I got my frame marine cleaned and metal etched , then POR 15, 2 coats...

theboxman71 · 11-01-2006, 07:24 PM

More of frame...

theboxman71 · 11-01-2006, 07:26 PM

Goodies from Quadratec....IMHO, these guys are good...

My daystar goodies, Shackles, and body lift...
and my Black diamond lift...

theboxman71 · 11-01-2006, 07:27 PM

This is the metal i'm gonna weld around the problem areas on my frame...

Basically just box in the rear near the shackles and around the steering box...
