Save some for the rest of us! I believe I’ve said it before in your thread, but I like the paint matched headlight bezels. It makes the front end look so clean.
Jeep is looking a whole let better after Blaine's work. I gotta figure out how I'm going to get my shocks and suspension figured out eventually. I've had 4 inch Currie springs in the parts stash since May. Yours looks great!

Thanks man! I need to get it out into some country now!
It’s funny to me because I couldn't have imagined your Jeep build looking any better, but here we are.
could I get a photo of the mounting locations of the reservoir mounts? I think the back is fairly easy to find but the front is a mystery...
OP
thanks amigo. I've got a diagram of the bracket design but the front bolt is the one I don't get, just doesn't seem to be an obvious place for it to go.View attachment 208507I will get a better one for you in the morning too

The mount does not need to be that long to hold the reservoir. The length is designed around using the stock air box bolt on the other side but also extending past that weld nut just inside the back clamp so one doesn't have to pull the washer fluid reservoir to drill through the fender. The same goes for the front one. Scope out the top to make sure you don't drill the AC line on the other side and it works for both sides.

My element fire extinguisher came today after a long wait. Came all the way from the distant land of Canada. I first saw this thing on @Midnight LJR ‘s build thread and keeping with the light and efficient theme of my build I decided a swap was in order.
to compare the traditional serviceable 5 pounder obviously weighs in at 5 pounds and supply’s approximately 10-20 seconds of dry chemical agent intended for burning liquids or electrical fires, hence the B/C designation. The element is the size of a road flare, weighs in at a pound not including the mount and supply’s 50 seconds of a dry chemical gas agent and is designed for A/B/C and K fires. A superior product in a tighter more efficient package. Also going off of @Midnight LJR I opted to install it between the speaker pods because it can be reached by all passengers or, with a small hop by short people, from any door on the vehicle.

Just spent nearly an hour reading this entire thread! What a great build! I wasn’t a big fan of yellow TJs but yours has definitely changed my mind! I love that you made it very capable while still keeping the classic look.
I got a lot of inspiration from your rig and the picture of your previous white tj is almost exactly the vision I have for mine since mine is white as well!
Also I know a lot of other people have said it but the color matched headlight bezels look so good!
