This thread was floating around in the TJ forum when I was down there......so I'm stealing it.....
What did you do to your CJ today?

Going topless always feels the best!Finally got warm enough to pull the hard top/doors! Amazing how different it feels to go topless!
Swapped my hood, too. Got a bud to paint the new hood. Shoulda hired a pro, but its too late now, LOL.

Looks like the liquid check valve. It connects to the vent lines on the tank and charcoal canister.jdhaas3 said:Was swapping out the shackles today and this contraption fell out from up above the passenger side. Is this some emissions thing from the gas tank?
I really ..... Really want a rear bumper like yours ! Nice work. I wish I had the tools to do such. I purchased the Hanson off road with pindle for my rear just haven't taken the dive to purchase the next piece yetWSS said:Put on my bumper today. Just need to build a bracket to hold the bulkhead npt fitting for an air coupler on the back. The led B/U lights are awesome. Hard to photo though. the light pattern on the door is about three feet from the lights. Would be great for a daily driver rear bumper to get texters attention.
Where are you wheeling with snow?82JeepCJ7 said:Wheeled it this weekend. Was so glad to not have to worry about the hard top and doors. I bounced the roll bar off a rock on one trail. I could only imagine what it would of done to the hard top.
That looks like it would work. The can holders are nicely done. I debated to do it that way but I had the confers on hand and the rubi rack was on the Jeep when I bought it. I may go that route next season if shows any cracks or bends.I really ..... Really want a rear bumper like yours ! Nice work. I wish I had the tools to do such.

You diligence and extra effort to go pricing at the Hanson site has only fuel my obsession to pushing the envelope on how much I can actually I can do without formal training .... I think I'm doing pretty good ..... Giving I've only been into this jeep thing since 2009 and my car exp is limited while my fab exp was Zero...... None the less it's fun. Ill check out A to Z I'm gonna need a tube bender lol .....WSS said:That looks like it would work. The can holders are nicely done.

The CNC machine speeds it up for sure but it is still done by the brain and hand. Looking at your build, I would say give it a try. A troch, grinder(s), welder and a drill press. And a lot of thought and reading JF threads of course.
edit: Just went to the hanson site. You could build the JC4 type for under $200 I think. Use 2x2x.188 or .25 for the main arm on the pindle and use 2x2x.120 for the frame and 1x1..090 for the rack and carriers. pick up a few diy parts and a latch or AtoZz's T handle kit and a ready cut wheel holder. Fun project.
