That sure doesnt look like your typical Ohio Jeep anymore. :) Very nice.
 
UPDATE:

I'm super busy at work today....So I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I also included some pictures of the rock sliders for jcarr.

We didn't get the headlight bulbs installed until after I took all of these pictures....But the assemblies and buckets are original. Just cleaned up and a fresh coat of paint and clear.

Sorry about that. haha

My dad has been traveling a lot recently and I have more fun when I'm working on the Jeep with him...ha


But here is a small update...

My dad and I pulled the Transmission and the Transfer Case out Saturday afternoon to fix a leak we had between the Transmission and the bell housing. We found the oil was weeping out of a pressed in plug on the front on the case. We used some silicone and a homemade gasket to try to correct it....We'll find out if it worked after we top off the Transmission with oil...

We discovered a water leak while we were getting the cooling system ready...There is a steady stream of water leaking from the driver's side water pump port behind the timing cover....Looks to have the wrong gasket installed....Woo...

I started to refinish the set of aluminum wheels we have, but I can't see myself restoring these wheels by hand...So I have a buffer pad set coming from Eastwood. Should make things much less tedious.

But good news is that we are getting very close to firing the engine. I can't wait to finally hear this thing run!
