[QUOTE="TRevs, post: 439810, member: 20654"] I had to daily-drive the YJ for a couple months as I found time to rebuild the steering on my 262K-mile Civic, but now it’s the Jeep’s turn. I haven’t installed the rest of the carpet because I want to get the sport bar off first, and I’ve been stymied by half of the bolts being stuck. I got the right rear one off by sticking a heat gun and lots of Liquid Wrench up from underneath, but when I went to repeat that on the left rear, I realized the fuel filler hoses were in the way, and by the way there’re fairly strong fuel fumes back there… So then it’s drop the tank which reveals that the skid is nearly rusted through on the exhaust side, no big deal I’m sure. [ATTACH type="full"]121986[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]121987[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]121988[/ATTACH] Oh and now’s a good time to put a stop to the rust on the crossmember in front of the gas tank. Oh, that means I need to remove those 2 body mounts, which means I need to loosen all the body mounts so I can jack one side up at a time. Oh d—- I sheared off two of them… [ATTACH type="full"]121989[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]121990[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]121991[/ATTACH] The moral of the story is: installing carpet in a YJ involves a lot of work.
