You’ve probably already considered it, but I would pour concrete and expand the driveway from probably about that saw cut on your shop drive way, down to the horizontal saw cut on the original driveway. That isn’t much dirt to move or concrete to pour, and very easy shape to form up. Drill a...

This is a picture of the basement in its current state for our party tomorrow, in the main area. Haven’t put the 4’ UV tubes in the fixtures yet. We hung roofing felt on the studs and just slung blacklight paint at everything. Would love to have a floor coating with the chips so that it’s...

We have an unfinished basement in our home, still years away from finishing it, and with 4 kids aged 1, 3, 5, 7, nothing beats the open play space and durability of wood and concrete. We have LED black light strips and UV fluorescent tubes we swap into the lights down there for an annual...

why not install electrical outlets at your 8' height requirement then buy a few of those multi-outlet shop surge protectors and mount them at 4' height (or whatever the cord will reach to - this one has 6' cord)? https://www.lowes.com/pd/PRIME-10-Outlet-1500-Joules-Surge-Protector/50213043...

Hey from another PBB member, used to love watching the XJ build years ago! unfortunately (or fortunately depending on perspective) school, life, wife, kids have kept me from doing much of anything with my Cherokee. I guess the silver lining is that I haven't ghetto-hacked it up so I wont have a...

Got everything done and bolted up and added a steering stabilizer brace bolted up, need to trim the corners but it Clears the tires. it’s close to the pitman arm, but clears by about 3/8” I had to cut off the old steering stabilizer mount when I did the OTA trackbar Mount, so I repurposed...

https://armorpoxy.com/products/high-performance-solvent-based-acrylic-sealer/ Is this what you are referencing? On an unrelated note my dad is a builder in Asheville and he had a client request finished garage flooring, so I turned him to your product line, they had great results, he had never...

Awesome, thanks for the reply, just sent an email. Looking forward to hearing more Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Finally had some time in the garage to finish fabricating the actual trackbar brace, which was the entire point of the project. I cut up an old RE track bar and trackbar brace to get the right curves and lengths I needed, and had some 1/4” thick scrap I pulled out of the metal recycling...

Did the driver side second, so it looks better than the pass side. Steep learning curve but I think I picked it up pretty well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Pretty sure from ‘95 up they galvanized everything, at least that’s when they started galvanizing the YJ tubs in addition to the frames that they did before that. I’ve always heard on naxja, jeepforum, Cherokee forum, even pirate that xjs were galvanized. But like you said, stripping to bare...

We have an unfinished basement, total of about 1800sq ft. Part of that is already shop space, part is gym. The rest is future living/bedroom with full bath, and a full kitchen with half bath. We are starting to make some budgetary plans for finishing it in the next few years. I’m getting sick...

I could simply make the brace, but I knew I wanted to add some frame stiffeners to the stock rails. I already had some on the center portion installed about 10 years ago when I swapped to long arms. So I figured since I had it apart, weld these on To here The additional 3/16” thickness...

One of the projects in the garage about 18 months ago was converting my 99 Cherokee to 2004 Grand Cherokee brakes and steering. The GC has larger rotors, 2 piston calipers, and a passenger knuckle that has two arms. This allows the user to eliminate the inverted Y steering on the Cherokee, and...

We are quite far as the baseball flies. Same angle as that pic but from my deck. I don’t think you could stand at the outfield fence and hit my house with a ball! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
