just crawled under it to see where to install a 3rd coolant sensor into an engine with only 2 coolant sensor ports (without cutting hoses to mount "adaptors")
Have to get a new block heater block off plug and drill and tap it to accept the coolant temp sensor from my new Speedhut gauge... add that to my list.

Here she is:
I'm welding up a front cage next. After that I want to figure out how to convert the front suspension to a 3 link.

Drove to Jim's place to pick up a half hardtop. Thanks a ton Jim. Good talking to you again. And look. It fit in the back. Thanks for the tj uppers as well. With the frames I picked up on the way, I should be able to make it all work.

Yep. Glad it fit. So I got it home and started modifying the tj uppers. Still need to weld the rear pins back on.
And scraped the purple tint off the window and installed new rivets in the top to attach it to the windshield.
Sprayed a coat of paint on the top. I guess I will work on installing it tomorrow or later depending on the weather.

Had her parked outside overnight because the LJ needed the heated garage for some much needed repairs.
OK, bit of back story here....
About a month ago I installed a Novak intank fuel pump kit for the 5.3L. Drained gas tank, dropped tank, installed pump, reinstalled tank, filled her up. Test time. Pump made noise, but didnt pump fuel. Dropped full tank (that was fun), pulled out pump, it was wired up correctly. (or so I thought, more on that in a bit...)
Figured defective pump.. Ordered 2 pumps (with 2 wiring plugs, and 2 filter sock things) off of ebay ($11 each
)
New pumps show up. Temporarily wire one up with wiring that came with it, dropped into tank and plugged it into a battery. It worked, so I drained the tank, which has been sitting on the garage floor for a few weeks while I waited for the new pumps.
So after this, I install the new pump and test it, no workie. Pull sending unit out again... then it dawns on me... The wiring in the Novak supplied plug was reversed. took plug apart, switched it and it worked perfect. (wires were reversed in the plug) Reinstalled everything, and she runs perfect and the fuel pump doesnt make a sound.
Fast forward to today..
Started Scrambler up and let her get up to operating temperature while I cleaned out garage after working on LJ.
Noticed a couple puddles under the rear end... Gas. Awesome. It is leaking from the top of the tank. My guess is the return line. Have to drop the tank AGAIN to see whats wrong.
Parked her back in the garage. Not today...
LJ... Needed to replace the oil pan. Rust on the driver's side of the pan was beginning to seep. In order to take the pan off you have to drop the forward part of the exhaust. Its fun. While I had the exhaust out, I replaced all 4, yes thats FOUR, O2 sensors. Also drained the coolant system to install a temp sensor for a A pillar gauge that I installed a couple months ago.
Dropped pan and was able to gently put a small screwdriver through the side of the pan where it was rusting...
Installing the new oil pan is fun. Trying to get the oil pan gasket to stay put while you put the pan on.
anyways, got it all done. Hopefully the pan gasket doesnt leak.
If it does, as long as its not bad, I'll probably just leave it.
