well done and nice touch with BFH Garage on the TV...
It just happened!

Mike, @hosejockey61, always does a fantastic job of simplifying installs. I've got a PSC system to install and this gave me a chance to take a look at his video. While I've installed a PSC steering system before, I didn't include a cylinder assist. I learned some valuable tips there!
Mike, a tractor, and some very bad running shoes.
Looks fantastic Rich.

I don't remember the lights all around the top lift platform. Not sure if new, but nice in addition to all the other work. Everything really came together well.
And those neon lights look awesome! Must have been expensive
I was originally thinking I'd move the hardtop platform, but discovered it makes a great place to add lights, which considerably brightens up both the toolbox and desk area. My old eyes need every break they can get. That's why these readers are everywhere now!

I missed those lights on the hardtop platform in the earlier pics — welp, not I have another item to add to the garage 'to do' list

You know what's better than readers sometimes? 3X magnifiers. They have made a huge difference for a lot of different reasons!
As far as a lift, I have an old 80's era Rotary lift
It requires 12' ceilings, so make sure you have what you need before buying it.

Impressed. And jealous. My shop is SO trashed right now.
I am in the process of acquiring the parts for that same install, @hosejockey61's video was informative and instrumental in kicking my ass in gear to accomplish this mod...
Lol, After 63 marathons, I know better than to run in Vans !

Had one light left and used Velcro to attach it to the bottom of the Packout cabinets. The lights were shining in my face, so I ran strips of electrical tape to reduce light directed at the eyes. Worked out better than expected. This gives me a well lighted work surface.

After working on the garage, the Jeep got jealous and threw a P0301, cylinder #1 misfire, code. The plugs were actually okay, but this gave me the opportunity to practice diagnostic skills. Checked plugs, spark, compression, leak down, and fuel. All was good there.
- Compression numbers were all between 170 and 165. While these numbers seem a little high, likely the gauge, the spread was good.
- Leak down test was a PIA, but the numbers were all good as well:
As one additional test I put a stethoscope on each injector, and they are all firing strong. Since I was in there, new Autolite APP985 plugs went in, gaped at.035. I started it up and ran it for a few minutes, with no misfire, but I'm not confident just tightening up a couple manifold bolts would resolve the issue.
Since this Jeep only sees short trips, I'm sure that's part of the problem. I'll add some injector cleaner and do some heavy right foot driving.

- Leak down test was a PIA, but the numbers were all good as well:
- #1: (leak down) 72/80 (pressure) = 10% leakage
- #2: 78/80 = 2.5%
- #3: 75/80 = 6.25%
- #4: 78/80 = 2.5%
- #5: 78/80 = 2.5%
- #6: 78/80 = 2.5%

I swear this Jeep is ostentatious. Whenever I don't pay it proper attention, it acts up!
I am familiar with this highly technical procedure Rich. Ya know, in case you need a hand
I've had a Genright front fender kit sitting in boxes for a couple years now. Since I want to paint all the aluminum armor body color, now is the time to get it test fitted and installed, in preparation for painting later in the Summer. I went with the 4" standard fenders and inner fender kit. I've been going back and forth on the airbox options and will stick with the stock airbox, for now. I'll end up having to make some sort of bracket for it, which should be relatively straight forward. Having been down this path before, the worst part is going to be re-locating alIl the factory mounting brackets and wiring.
