What did you do to your rig Today? V2.0

It's one of those projects where you prepare yourself mentally that it's gonna take 5-8 hours...at least the first time. I spent some time on youtube and then started on mine. I worked for a few hours, got frustrated and left it alone for the night, worked some more the next day and then buttoned it up the last afternoon. Maybe you get it done in half the time. Gotta drop the steering column, lay the dash in the seats, etc. I was doing the A/C
core on mine, and did the heater core while I was in there. Better think about doing both at the same time.
The part that sucks is having your roll cage in the way......wait, Brooks, do you have your cage drilled thru the top corners of the dash?

I got a 40mm ammo can yesterday to make into a center console for the YJ. Today after work i got some hinges from lowe's and went to town. Real easy to do. Only problem i had was i did not realize the support metal under the lid. I originally was going to weld the hinges underside, but i did not feel like trimming the bracing underneath, so i went with them on the topside. The hinges stop and allow it to sit upright with no problem. Now to mount it in the center. Eventually i will put an eye bolt or another way of locking it securely. Right now i needed something for the camping trip this weekend. I wanted something to mount my old cupholders to. I dont think the wife really wants to hold my drink for the 3 hours to the mountains

For giggles I put the JK up on a ramp tonight to see how much clearance I have with the sway bar disconnected. With the 33s on stock 18" wheels it rubs......a lot. With not much in the way of steering lock. I do have a set of 1 1/2" spacers I could use but even then I can see it rubbing more than I'm comfortable with. With Uwharrie coming up I'd like to think pulling the links would make for a better time.
