Good morning all,
Here is a picture of an almost finished customer project to start a thread off. A full frame off Resto-mod Samurai. I'm still waiting on some parts, but this one is 99% done.

Now, this will be a build thread on my YJ Crawler. I sold my last Yj (blue one pictured below) when I bought this and highly regretted it. The goals I am aiming to meet are, 1.Increase the crawling ability, 2. Increase camping/roadtrip comfort. 3. Fix reliability issues. This will always be a rock crawler 90% of the year, so all modifications have to be easy to remove to keep it as light as possible.

Starting out with some light maintenance on the front axle. I heard a squeak from the front driver's axle and Proceceded to find a bad spindle bearing that started to snack on the chromoly shaft.

Also, I found out that I need to get the underside of my housing welded up. I might have hit some rocks with it.![5.jpg 5.jpg](https://expeditionportal.com/forum/data/attachments/701/701108-edde0eaf0a329625ef29131fdf1dcb55.jpg)
