That's a lot less expensive than trailers I'd been looking at. I'm about to be unemployed bc of O'Bidens' vax mandate, so I won't be spending much on mine for while. Back to sleeping on the bikini...

I've got Lube-Lockers on both axle covers, but both the covers and housings are machined cast, no brainer. The LL gasket is probably meant for a cast aluminum AM pan, if they still exist, if anyone ever even made them. Dunno. But T-Rex is correct the sheetmetal pan bolt holes need to beaten...

Fel-Pro Blue all the way! Used them many, many times and my experience is the same as T-Rex, never a leak (unless it was my fault).

I used to have a Warn XD8000 I bought for the '43 after sinking it to the tub in quicksand, it was locked & wearing Boggers. It served me well what little i used it, mostly for others. There's an old saying "you buy a winch for everyone else" I've got a Champion on mine now, came with YJ. Never...

One of the best "big" mods you can do first is a winch. I'm quoting someone on the forum, but I can't remember who. "A winch will get you un-stuck, the other stuff (heavy mods like lifts lockers, etc.) will get you more stuck." I just thought that was Great advice especially if your new and plan...

My mentor built a 2A on a M38A1 chassis, he liked the factory inverted front shackles.

Wish I could help you out, while I do have my top door halves, I only run a bikini and seldom even the half doors. There's a lot of folks from rainier/colder states than mine, someone here will have an answer.

I'm an OD guy myself, but that's just the old military buff in me.. ;)

I'm going to parrot what @ytradio said, it's a personal choice. That being said, the clear coat will eventually "sunburn" and peel off. I would lean toward a quality paint of your choice, satin or gloss and not bother with the clear coat. Personally, I like the idea of a satin finish.

I've seen other vehicles done with bed liner, like a Chevy van, and it looked like Chit. I don't get that...I mean Why? I did bed line my floor pan, but just because the factory paint was too slippery.

You can tell if it has a body lift by looking at it from the rear for a "butt crack" between the body and rear cross member/bumper. If it does not have a body lift, there should about a 1/4" - 1/2" gap. If it does the gap will be a lot wider and you will be able to see a reinforcement for the...

That being said, you seriously need to find out where that crap is coming from. Like I said, there seems to be a lot of it, looks like residue from a misfitted homemade gasket, IMHO. If you do pull the front of the engine apart, I would also recommend replacing the wp and the t-stat while you're...

Does it have a body lift? The telescoping steering shaft is sometimes frozen when a body lift is installed. I experienced this with mine when I did my body lift. Knock the seal out of place, a bit of PB Blaster and then a knock with a hammer after it's had time to soak in.

That's some weird looking gunk..Looks like a hairball a cat would yak-up, very strange. Maybe gasket material? But there's sure a lot of it. I think a complete flush is in order. Me, I would pull the radiator, pump, water neck and flush everything with a garden hose while it's open.

I've got a pointy eared Nit Wit myself. As far as the forum, if you read Chris' about, he doesn't bend to the BS, Very Nice, Good on Him and better for us! Wish I could tell you about parts, but I'm new to the YJ platform and most everything I've bought has been new. What I have found used, I...

And welcome aboard! It's nice to have another fellow Zonie...

That sure beats sleeping on the bikini top, BTDT;)

I have an old military re-pop mirror that I bolt up the same way when the doors are off, I just like the style. It will eventually be permanently mounted to the cowl so I can lose the mirrors off the doors. Not run the interstate without the doors, (but without mirrors) so I'm interested if this...

Looks good! I really like that color, especially on the door panels! Mine were butchered and ended up replaced with diamond plate aluminum from Warrior Products. But they were spendy...Wish I could have gotten away with a $8.00 rattle can!

Anytime you find marine grade stuff to work in a Jeep, it's a winner, IMHO.
