Picked up the new Fuel cell. RCI 2151A 15 Gal. Aluminum to mount in the bed behind the front seats. I also picked up a set of Waggoner front springs. These springs plus redrilling the spring plates 1" offset should give me the 3" axle set back I'm attempting.
Outside of that my CJ has been getting neglected. I've been spending all my time working on my buddy's rock buggy to get it ready for the KOH qualifier at Rausch Creek Friday.

I'm ashamed to say I have been very busy this week so the only thing I have done is wrap the new body up in a tarp to protect it from the rain...

Started installing the softtop hardware, got pissed threw it into the corner of the garage, ordered a bikini top. The PO bent the parts that go over the door, it's an easy fix but I'm not wanting to drill that many holes in the new windshield frame to install all the parts. Plus the soft top was left out in the weather by the PO, and after a good hose down and a hang on the cloths line the top appears to have shrunk and wont cover the whole jeep, it only goes to about halfway behind the front seats. I might take it to an upholstery shop and have it cut down to a bikini top.

BrockGrimes,
That is so funny, because I did the exact same thing last year! I didn't think about having it cut down though, that's a good idea.
Got the hardtop off, put on the bikini. Installed a new set of plugs, and added a vacuum line that I foget after the M/C install today, hopped in, fired her up, and cruised around for a good couple of hours, it was a blast.

Drove the jeep over to take a look at "Bounty Hunter" for those that don't know,
it's a MONSTER TRUCK, the boy thought it was awsome, but concluded that it wouldn't fit in the garage, he had the driver cracking up. LOL

I got your picture right here, LOL.
I would've taken one with the jeep but I didn't want to
make bounty hunter look small. Plus there was
in the way.

Didn't actually do anything to the CJ today but did repack the trailer wheel bearings for my four hour trip to pick up my new 401...

How did that work out for you? It's a great and easy add-on isn't it!

And that is the wrong position to be in with lower grade bolts!!!
