Yeah, its coming along. I have had those hella's for years and years. My girlfriend and other friends bought them for me in high school. I have the inline fuse taken out and I need to wire up the relay because they cause the main shutdown relay kick on. But I'm thinking about taking them off and putting one or both in the back to get more light and put a winch up front. 33" tires are definitely on the way as well as a rear tire carrier. I just bought an '09 civic so my monthly payments are adding up and making it harder to save a few dollars.

Update, I have my front driveshaft out sitting on my deck and sitting next to it is a GC front driveshaft. I still need the yoke from a cherokee or GC but its not hard to find. I'm planning on getting the GC driveshaft lengthened and balanced and hopefully that will smooth out the vibrations. But I am wondering, should I use the GC driveshaft of just extend and balance the stock one? I only ask because I still need the yoke and the collar on the slipe yoke has been buggered up. What do y'all think?
It will cost the same amount for the driveshaft because they will be adding the tube and balancing won't be much different.

The tube is the same diameter, probably because it was a '93 GC and mine is a '93. I think I'm going to modify the GC one and keep the other as a spare. The only problem is I"ll have to swap out yokes in the case of a break.

Well this forum has been pretty dead but I'm going to update my jeep info. These are some recent pics but I promise I'll have some actions shots soon. Right now I'm refurbishing the factory A/C (its for my gf in case anyone is wondering why I'm going through the trouble).

Lou, I'm so sorry to hear you've disfigured your beautiful, square eyed YJ with (shudder!) TJ parts!

All he needs now is a TJ grill or at least the round eye conversion kit that is available from the Jeep Beautifucation League and your local retailer

The maintenance guys don't mind me working on it as long as it "looks" like it could move. The last 3 weeks it was on jackstands in the rear but the tires were only an inch or two off the ground.

I do get to use the shop at work after 5 of course. I was working on some rockers last night. My buddy gave me some 1/4" x 5" x 5" galvanized angle 4' long.

By the looks of the factory sheet metal you need them, or actually should have done them long ago. ;D ;D
