Let this thread be an inspiration to all of us doing mods, maintenance, or repairs. :thumbsup:

I'll start it off, over the holiday weekend, I did an oil and filter change, fixed a couple rattles, did the front brakes (new rotors and pads), and swapped the brake fluid.

While technically this isn't for my YJ (it's for a friends YJ) I got to play in the garage again this afternoon while making a tow style bumper. I'm not finished yet, but should be by tomorrow.








Should say; "Made in San Diego, CA. USA" :laugh:

Maybe I'll plasma my initials into this one. ;)

Found a complete renix fuel injection setup for $25 and found out that my 90 came with a flywheel with the magnets for a cps and the bell housing was cut for the sensor. I will be selling my Weber carb soon if anyone is interested.

Got it start again finally! :2thumbsup:
Also, I had some cheap plastic cup holders kicking around, and I figured that since I needed at least one cup holder in my YJ, I found a spot to put it. It had like a "U" tab type of thing on it, but I cut that off so it would lay flat. There was already a hole in the leftover tab that was just big enough for a windshield bolt. It's not perfect, but very functional. It does not bounce around at all. And it's small enough that there's space in between the holder and door.

what color is that?
It's Olive Drab Green... I had napa mix it up then added a quart of their flattener to the gallon of paint... mixed in the hardener and thinner and sprayed it on with a Harbor Freight LVHP gun. I only used about a pint of paint to do the whole thing.... Buying a gallon was a little overboard but I have plenty for touchups now. I mixed it thick so it has quite a bit of orange peel but it went on quite thick and seems to be hard enough. My first vehicle paint job.....:2thumbsup:
