YJ Progress
calvynandhobbs:
I spent two hours last night removing the two broken bolts from where the cage ties in behind the seats. The inside ones that sit directly above the frame. There is no easy way to get those suckers out. That does mean I can put the cage back into the Jeep and get the seats put in. Trying to get things off the floor and onto the Jeep before I tear into the F250 next week.
DirtyJeep92:
These bolts broke a while back right? Did you end up getting them out?
calvynandhobbs:
Yes, I took the original cage out over a year and a half ago. I got them out with the 3" pneumatic cut off wheel, 4.5" cutting wheel, nut cracker, air hammer and hacksaw. I need a plasma cutter or torches. Would have made the job much easier, but I did get them out.
calvynandhobbs:
Inside front area is now bedlined and ready for the cage to be dropped in tomorrow night. Windshield is primed on one side and finish painted on the other. I plan to flip it and paint the other side tomorrow night. I also got the metal sleeve out of the rear shocks so they will fit now. I hope to get the shocks on and the rear tires on in the next night or two as well as the seats installed. I got the driver front fender on tonight, but the passenger one isn't lining up correctly. I'm thinking the guy that built the flatfenders may have messed that side up. I'll look at it again.
Finally making progress.
Mr Rock:
WooHoo! keep plugging away!
