Re: What did you do to your YJ today?
I love that tail gate mod. Do you have a link to a nice "how-to"? Yesterday I removed my diff covers to inspect and be sure what I have: stocker 3.07s in seemingly decent condition.

It was not hard, you just need 2 gate hinges and some sheet metal screws. I am going to replace the screws with nutserts so I can use counter sunk bolts so it will look better.
I used swingset chain as well because its covered in plastic.

Re: What did you do to your YJ today?
well... not actually today, but in the last 10 days...
removed "sport" decals... and others
Paint: Body Proform trim black (semi gloss hides a lot of ...experience)
Hard Top: "Nutmeg" from home Depot
Floor and box: Rubberized rockerguard
Made new decals to go on the side above "Jeep" (Rebel Alliance)
Painted Steel Wheels Graphite metalic, put alloys away for summer.
That's it :) Pics to follow.

This was yesterday, but I figure it still applies ;)
Dana 35: axles, carrier, bearings and pinion removed without mishap (gearing change).
Dana 30: Broke one bolt removing hub, 1/2 inch breaker bar removing axle nut from drivers' side, but eventually axle and hub were removed. Passenger side went smoothly, everything was removed without incident...almost. I broke one of the little bolts holding the vacuum disconnect cover when I used my air rachet to "remove" it (always double check the forward/reverse switch
). I was so exhausted from the drivers' side, I thought I would save some energy...HA! Carrier, bearings and pinion came out without issue. I even started installing the ring gear on to the LSD diff I bought. I got tired and decided I will finish another day though.
