    That's how it goes. Haha. Around here there aren't many aftermarket parts for tj's or yj's. I don't need much though. A front bumper would be nice though.

    There's some stuff around here. A few bumpers, a lot of diamond plate "body armor" as the call it.

    It lives!! The xj tilt column bolted right in. I just had to extend the shaft by about an inch. I used the tapered end off the yj column and welded it on with a couple of reinforcements. My welding isn't good for pictures as it sucks. The rest of the shaft will disintegrate before anything happens to my joint though ha ha. I even have tilt now!

    The paint on the passenger side is done, and the grille is done but I'm trying to decide if I should get some new clear signal lenses right now or wait.

    Thanks, joe! It'll be on the road in no time! Need to emissions test it and get new tabs, finish up some painting and permanently splice the fuel line. That's all it NEEDS. I'm still going to do an oil change and get a new serpentine belt, it's a little squealy. The oil blow back needs to be addressed but it's not a pressing issue.

    Thanks guys!

    Diffs SHOULD be good. I have the paper work on the lockers and the install. Barely 3000 miles on them and the fluid change. It'll probably be worth it to change the fluid anyway though.

    I would change it. Fluid should be changed after the first couple thousand miles anyways, and you have no idea how hard they were ran.

    I do know how hard it was ran ha ha. I know the last 10 years of its history and I helped build it. It's been practically sitting for the last 7 years though so that would be my main concern.
