Did you sit on a...SOAPBOX !!
Finished up the BDS coils. Rides great, about the same as the Moog coils. I took a chance and went with a .75" spacer in front and glad I did because it is sitting about 1/4" rear high. I'd prefer a bit more but I will take that. Without the spacer it would be a solid 1" which is too much. It did induce some vibs from 20-25 and worsened a very mild vib at 40-45, both on acceleration. Ran it up to 75 and no vibs beyond 45. I already have a MML and am going to hold off doing anything with the t-case until it settles in. With winch/plate/bumper front is 14.5", rear is 10.5" coil lengths.

I have tan epoxy on the floor. Right now its not pic worthy, its got a couple months of melted road grime on it....another reason I hate winter. Once it warms up I can hose it out.Reece we need to see pics of the rest of that garage, looks like it is carpeted
Damn, your TJ sure is clean. After seeing so many clean white TJs on this forum, I think I've come to the conclusion that white TJs are my favorite.Got some 6" KC Slimlites. Started putting them on.View attachment 32286

I think that those of us who have suffered at the hands of the dreaded tin worm should no longer acknowledge it as rust, but instead refer to our TJs as the "Lightweight Edition", or LE for short...I sucked a bunch of rust dust up my nose...
This pile is from my passenger rear well well...View attachment 32386
Oh, and found a hole View attachment 32387
Ha! I like that. I now have a Rubicon LE. Even better. Problem is, I'm going to cut and patch, and the way I weld, there isn't going to be anything lightweight about it!I think that those of us who have suffered at the hands of the dreaded tin worm should no longer acknowledge it as rust, but instead refer to our TJs as the "Lightweight Edition", or LE for short...
Reminds me of when I first tried my hand at body filler. Sheesh! Felt like I increased the weight of the car by 5%!Ha! I like that. I now have a Rubicon LE. Even better. Problem is, I'm going to cut and patch, and the way I weld, there isn't going to be anything lightweight about it!
Wow...its REALLY early in Washington...Reminds me of when I first tried my hand at body filler. Sheesh! Felt like I increased the weight of the car by 5%!
Thirty four years of swing shift. I'm usually awake until about 4:00am, scouring this forum. It has definitely replaced watching TV at this time of the morning!Wow...its REALLY early in Washington...
Well that sucks. Do you think having ac made the job that much harder? I was planning on tackling this in spring and my 2000 sport does not have ac. Oh, and I have little mechanical experience but do have access to all tools needed and a boyfriend to question and whine to. I hope it stops your leak long term!Ok, so this is not going to be a sexy 3" lift post, or installing an adjustable track bar or put on my 33's type post but I did replace my valve cover gasket. Boy what a GIGANTIC PITA burger. So I watched all the vid's, read all the posts but they really did not prepare me for the sheer aggravation of the job. My ride is an 05 with AC so getting the cover off was more than I thought it would be. In the course of the 4 hr task I cursed 4 people that I have never met, the wiring designer for the tunnel and routing it over the cover, the body designer who did not design the firewall to allow for easy removal, the AC designer who routed the lines in the front of the cover, and their boss who said "yeah it looks good to me." But kudos to the guy who thought up the cover bolt spacers making it impossible to pinch the new gasket. The old gasket was trash, I really think I fixed my RMS leak. Time will tell.
I have the same year and model Jeep you have and also no a/c. Will be watching to see if it's any easier with our Jeeps when you tackle it this spring.Well that sucks.

More pics. if you could Nick. I could not imagine they have a TJ in Japan. What do you do in Tokyo, may I ask?I BOUGHT it! Well, a few days ago. This is a 2001 with low Kms. Today My young son rode in the front seat for the first time (of any vehicle). Airbags are disabled of course.
