Figured out that we can't line up the credit to put in a new engine yet. Working on the backup plan of patching it back together and hoping it lasts till we can save up the money for engine. Good news is that I should have it running again soon, but we won't be comfortable wheeling it over 100 miles from home.

the lighting on this is kind of atrocious, but im sure you get the idea, painted the grille and headlight bezels. now all thats left cosmetically are the bumpers, but that will wait till i have alot of primer, sandpaper and bedliner. thats when the bumpers, endcaps, fenderflares, mirrors, door handles, hatch handle, and select interior panels get bedlined...after i find a job to fund this project

Kinda what I did, I've got a pair of Hella 500's on my bumper. I also painted my bumper and bedlined my endcaps as well. But I've got a 95 XJ, so there isn't all that extra stuff on there.
Pulled the D35 out! Time to start mocking up the out boarded shocks!

Replaced door pin bushings.
NOT FUN! I had let mine get too bad. Last year the doors were hard to open but I was able to work them back and forth and get them off. I reassembled with anti-sieze and I think that was a major mistake. The driver door came off with a highlift jack but the passenger wouldn't budge. Finally I had to remove the hinge and use a torch. Bye bye paint.
Luckily I have some color-matched paint for my new front fenders (rust) and I'll paint the hinges while I'm at it.
Bought these bushings. They arrived the day after I ordered them by USPS and work great! Doors swing free and easy now.

picked out my new tires, now for the job to pay for them, think ill buy a tire every pay check till i have all four. 120 a pop. General Grabber AT 2's any input on these? heard they were good all terrain tires, better than bf goodrich all terrains and goodyear wranglers and cheaper...but thats just what i heard.

These are on my short list, as I sloooowly start saving for a set of new all terrains. They are mentioned quite often over on JeepForum.com, and seem to be a good overall performing tire. Tread looks like a mildly aggressive AT pattern, better than some of the other ATs I was looking at.
Also, from TireRack.com:
I few sizes I am looking at are rated for severe snow, so that interests me. The winters in my area have been pretty mild the last few years, not really enuf to justify a dedicated snow tire. Plus most sizes are made in the USA.
