Lift and doing a new bumper that I actually will like this time around has been on my mind :dizzy:

So how many sketches did you do last night after you and your wife went to bed? :ROTFL:

A few more :ROTFL:

Then my stupid pc crashed again and I lost them all! Now I have to start all over :evil:

Doesn't matter really, cause I know it will change once the steel starts going on :shock:

I just went outside to take a look at my factory bumper and somehow over the winter the turn lens got broken :banghead:

Going to start calling around to find a replacement locally here then......... :furious:

Stage One
Spare tire reloaction bracket

Built a model today to move tire up approx. 4 inches, after testing it appears 4 is too much and will rebuild to 3 inches. So far cost is ZERO, using parts laying around and original bracket. Looks good so far, well I think it does.... :wink:

Man I have called every scrap yard in and around Toledo today, not one KJ to be had! :furious:

Then I find the turn siganl assembly I need online for 1/2 of what these part house jokers around town want for them! As soon as I get a new lens assembly my custom bumper is coming off and I am going to throw back on the factory Muddified bumper untill the new one can be made :shock:

I am just not keen on running around with a broken lens :JEEPIN:

Well I have rounded off the ONLY bolt holding the rear seat on the right side down. I have the single seat out already...how do I get a rounded bolt out?

The short answer would be to pound on a socket that is one size smaller than what the orignal bolt head is. I would think they use metric bolts since most everything else on our Jeeps is metric.

Thanks I'll go try a 9mm since the original was 10mm...

If that doesnt work...what else could I do?

Use a bolt extracter for rounded off bolt heads, they come in several sizes and configurations. The ones I use have twisted teeth in them and also get pounded on just like the idea of pounding on a socket that is a size smaller but is the propper tool for the job. Good luck :JEEPIN:

Cut a slit in the top of the bolt with a dremel and take it out with a flathead screwdriver...

Thanks chris...I ACTUAL have one of those :lol:

I'll try that first...But There's a very tiny puddle of wd40...so i'll have to clean off all the wd40 so the sparks wont cause a fire... :shock:

Fold the seats down.... Undo the velcro on the back of the seat..... if you didn't do that all ready.... :?:

there are more bolts there....

and to remove the seats.... Lock the back of the seats into position.... Fold the bottom of the seats up.... then use bungee cords to keep the bottom up.... Unlock the back of the seats... and take out...

Thanks Chris....I know that much though.

It's just ONE bolt on the floor holding down the bigger rear seat :shock:

I think this has been the longest rear seat take out...

Raised the spare tire today
here it is in the stock location, hitting the bumper some and the hitch

Started looking around the garage this morning and made a bracket to raise it 4 inches, after mounting everything up, found I could go 3 inches so that is where it is now, lots more room

here it is with the swing arm on
