Well i got tired of hearing alot of valvetrain noise so i adjusted the valves. The previous owner replaced the valve seals and had all of them set the same, and even then they were off.
Decided to make a light bar out of 3/4" aluminum square tubing. I bought some furniture caps for the ends to keep it clean. Pretty much cut to length and drilled holes to mount the lights, and drilled holes and used longer bolts and washers to mount it. The bolts i got were too short and it sat too close to the roof, so i got some nylon washers and painted them black and raised it up about an inch. The ends that or overhanging im gonna put eye bolts on it, and im planning on putting another one in the back with 2 reverse lights and ditch the pastic bars. Eye bolts will let me keep my spare strapped down.
No pics since i raised it up yet. I just used some cheap Walmart lights to see how i like it before i get some Hella's
When i make the back im going to mount my high lift on one side and shovel/ax on the other. i dont need a full roof rack so im not worried about fabbing one up at this point.
Thats all the mods for now, ive been working on getting the bugs worked out of the carb, and cleaning up under the hood, and straightening up my wiring. I just got my radius arm drops today(thanks Tony Raine!) and they are going on tomorrow. Gonna be drilling my centercaps for the front hubs so i can put them on, and repainting the wheels with bedliner. Also I have almost all of my FM146 swap parts now, all i need is a trans. Will be doing some engine work soon, and adding my Superlift 4" Xj springs, 2 or 3" body lift and 35" General Grabbers. Also will be cleaning of the paint drip that got on everything when i repainted her, and some new tail lights tomorrow, maybe nightshade em
