I really need to get some kind of heat in the garage to be able to work on projects through the winter

Sunny and 55 here. I have a window unit for heat in the summer here. Taking off now for a nice ride and get a hair cut. Have to admit the Jeep will be in the garage next week when your artic air comes south on Tuesday. Grrrrr.

change the rims and tires, went back to the 33's, 35's were just a tad too much for the current lift, also replaced rims with some nice aluminum/chrome 10"x15" with the correct bolt pattern, tucked them in some since removing the CJ rims and spacer.

Damn, got some winter cleaning and touch ups to do

 

[Armyvet25]

installed the new speedo gear to correct the speedometer, repaired the ground on my new fog lights, had one that was intermittent.
Next up...seat extenders, replace broken pass flare(35's got it), when it warms up more-CJ tailgate replacing the TJ gate. Some rust repair on the rear corners, install side bar steps. Still have to replace muffler as well. Needs a full tune

Not this summer due to all the repairs last year kept me from driving the whole summer, but maybe in 2025...SBC swap

 

[Armyvet25]

scratch that...just realized the AMC V8's will bolt up along with the dodge motors with a bell housing swap, some starter and flywheel changes, but a whole lot easier than going Novak adapter to the sbc and welding motor mounts etc, thing either AMC 360 or Dodge 318/360 Magnum

Seat extenders
Installed the driver side, passenger side next. Originally bought for just the passenger side as my wife complained about leg room(5'8"), she said this 99 seems to be more cramped than the 06 was, think she's right. But, I installed mine first, hers tomorrow, will catch hell lol.
Overall, fairly simple, took me a little over an hour mostly because one of my seat bolts someone had forced a wrong thread bolt in one hole, so...cutting-twisting with vice grips-drilling new hole-etc, added time.
Well made, I took pics to show installed, pic of both seats fully extended back to show added distance, and definitely more comfortable.
I wouldn't be surprised if the same kit can be used on a YJ,CJ, or slightly modded to work.

Wrangler TJ Seat Adapter Bracket for Jeep Wrangler TJ 97-06

 

[Armyvet25]

Got the wife's side done before detection lol, a side note, if you have the seat flip up mount like I do on the passenger side, the rear bottom mounting area isn't completely flat, and I had to add a small spacer to compensate so the bracket wouldn't distort the seat mount when tightened. Pass side went way faster, maybe 40 min tops.

and differences in the floor pan that only works for the TJ, unless they make a kit for the others.

Bad news for the TJ-7, spent last summer building it, hardly drove it...and might be trading it off on Tuesday...I'll be Jeepless first time in many years unless you count my wife's JKU

Trading for a Harley ?
