I remember my 95 YJ was only 17,000 brand new. Inflation sure is an ugly bitch.
Pulled my radio bezel out and painted it up. Then I installed a new phone holder. I plan on painting the rest of the dash when I get the time to pull it out. Supposed to go check out some half doors tomorrow. One is missing the door panel inside but for $250 it sounds like a good deal. Also going to check out a soft top frame this weekend too. It’s ungodly how expensive just the frame is when buying them new so a complete one with hardware for $150 is hard to pass up. Next I’ll have to find a soft top lol

Great Saturday of wrenching. I need to stop trying to getting the Jeep perfect and get him drivable bc he's past due on emissions and I don't need a suspended registration...
"Finished off" tub tube repair that will need more time bc more damage exposed itself, but I need the Jeep drivable. That repair is after welding on the existing tub/tube reinforcement and adding 1/8" new plat into the gap (look back in this thread).

You can see the rust on both sides that I still need to address
Next was cut/weld the cat holder

New SS Brake lines are in, still need to finish nudging them but the Classic Tube are a pretty good product

Other than the rear axle pieces being garbage... Ordered Crown full hard/soft line pieces in order to get on the road
Decided to spend no more time on old steel gas tank skid from SkidRow (been good for 10+ years)

Going with an aluminum replacement (using the steel unit to get through the emissions test...)
He hasn't had both front fender on in year so good to see what he'll look like when I can roll him out of the garage.

I will return to that tub repair when the emissions are passed...![]()
While it's been warmer more recently, I give you a lot of credit how much you have been working on this Jeep & engine in the colder temp. Been enjoying watching you're build through these 'today' posts.![]()
Busy day today. Between running to Maryland this morning and then to Pennsylvania to get these doors. I also worked on my leaking exhaust valve and finally got it to seal up. I just went and picked up a used best top factory style soft top too. Throwing money around like it’s a strip club! Lol

Looking at the top edge of the inner panel I think you have a set of yj doors. They will still work but you will need yj style strikers. You also have to modify the interior handle because it will interfere with the dash. Also uppers for the yj won't fit the tj door surrounds and the tj uppers need modification to one of the pins to fit the yj door. With all the other work you've been doing this should be a walk in the park.![]()
The door on the right doesn't have an inner panel. I think he mentioned that in an earlier post.

Miller Millermatic 211 on Auto-set w/ 0.30" set for 3/16".
Also drilled out axle uppers and frame uppers mounts for 7/16" for the Savvy arms install forthcoming. Recommendation from the Forum to get a long drill bit for the frame did make it easy work from outside the frame.
