Jeep restore

[LWR2]

Earlier this year I decided to part ways with my trusty Suzuki Carry and move up to something that would fit mama and the boys better. So I sold my Suzuki.... Her she is the day she left.



I picked up the jeep from Tx_dropem here on TBH and started a new chapter.




Got it home and started addressing some issue I knew it had. Removed the cage and found some years of salt abuse due to the jeep being from up north.




So I ordered some replacement pans and started cutting out the floor.



Fitting pans




Built bracing to replace what was rusted away.







To be continued

In. That's awesome. You are going to have so much fun restoring that with your boys. What year is the jeep? I have an '83 that needs restoring one of these days...

Got all of the interior panels in and seam sealed.



Stripped and primed the outside also with chassis savor.




I originally was going to have it Lined but came across a product called Monstaliner.

So that adventure started.








Next started putting back together




Replaced fuel sending unit.



Changed track bar bushings and added sway bar disconnects. TJ sound bar, family style role bar, new seat belts and new injectors.

Final product before windshield.....






Should be ready for the lease....

Now time for some lights.....

Got the glass and wipers on. Pillar pods and brackets on.... Im working on the hood mounted LED. Only bracket made for a YJ takes a 26" light bar so.....



I'm going to make some spacers.




This is where I am as of today and will be taking the Jeep to the lease in the weeks to come... So progress will come to halt for a while.......

Teaser to come. Bumpers, feeder,front basket and winch...... To be continued.......

S'cribed!
Looks awesome!

Interested in the "monstaliner" that you used.
I'm assuming it's a spray application, to good a finish to be brushed on.
I will do some research on it, looking to do a similar project in the future.

[LWR2]

It is brushed on. Interior got 3 Coats and Exterior got 5 coats. I am impressed.....

There are several write ups on the JeepForum.com. You can see all kind of uses for it over there.

Thanks,
LWR2

Good job LWR2! Do you do transmission work on mid 80's Chevrolet pick ups?
