Hi Line'd YJ

This is what I did to my jeep both Saturday and Sunday. Still have some finishing touches, but overall I am happy with the extra 3.5 inches of clearance. Total Cost... $0.00

I measure 3.5 inches into the hood, cut into it...then moved the fenders 3.5 inches upward.

The time consuming part was drilling new holes to remount the fenders. Also I had to go with my K&N intake instead of the ARB snorkel I had been using.

There is some great info here: DIY High Line Hood Mod for cheap : Higher Ground 4×4

I think the mod will work out nicely. I am trying to keep it low c.o.g.

Changed all fluids this weekend, man trans, diffs, engine, radiator, brakes, ect. In all took 6 hours, and a bit of bourbon. Fixed 3 leaks that were p#$$ing me off of late. I even cleaned and oiled the K&N. The wife freaked when she saw the diff covers off, but in all it was a fun day....except the clean up took a full hour! Thank goodness for kitty litter absorbent, no last stains on the floor!

i just bought the Rubicon Express 2.5" lift for my YJ! I'm sooo excited to pick it up tomorrow and i might just install it on Wednesday. Would it look silly with 235/75r/15 tires?

Prep'd it for flat tow, and ran it too the shop today behind the XJ. Getting a bunch of my POOR welding cleaned up and redone and having the Shock Mounts installed. Next stop is State Inspection June 10th.

Swapped out my headlight switch. Installed two Sylvania SilverStars. Finally got some Infinity Kappa 692.9i 6x9s mounted in my VDP speaker wedges. They sound great!

Just installed that lift on my jeep. You may want to start PBing now. and give yourself more then just wednesday, it fit together poorly, the directions led to a dead-end and then we had to backtrack, The lift is AWESOME once it is on.. but it was hell for the people who helped me out and did it. also would it look silly? it might. i gained well over 3 from the lift. I have a 2in BL, 5/8more shackles, tj flares, and that lift. I was just trying to fit my 33's without stuffing, but I have MORE THEN ENOUGH room for 35's now.

If you want to see some pictures the day I got it back to my house here you go Jeep back from the shop

Put in a new battery....trying to get it back into running shape so my son can drive it. BTW, if anyone has the install docs for the ADE ignition disable system, lemme know. Made a thread in the gen forum but figure the more places it's mentioned, the better the chance I have of finding a source for the documentation.
