I’m still amazed I crammed a pair of dual 8s and a pair of three channel 6x9s in the stock positions with no sawing.
What did you do to your jeep today?

Break in the temperatures this weekend. Organized all the parts I have piled up. If all goes well, Bert Mk.1 can return to roadworthy.
Glad that you are having a break
Got up this morning to minus 10 degrees ! YIKES
and yes it was cold working outside all morning
profdlp
Fired
3F when I went to bed last night and 10F when I got up this morning. I am still fighting off the flu (not Covid, if the test can be trusted, which I have my doubts about either way), and freezing my tail off walking my dog on the ice is not helping. We have had a total of about two feet of snow over the past two weeks and none of it is melting off.
Boy, I so read that wrong the first time.

It is relative. Been far below freezing for so long 20F feels warm and 40 is gonna be like a heat wave. Plus I have felt like a dangerously reckless idiot driving the few blocks to and from work every day in a jerry-rigged, half lifted (tuchus end will finally be done) Jeep that I really should not have been driving. We sold the Nissan, and wifey digs her Libby, but our work schedules are so different it was that or walk. I'm too old to walk in those temps anymore.

Forties only lasted a day here. Back to the normal teens and twenties. Over a foot of snow in the last few days. Winter's back!

^^^ Looking good! I like the JBA red on the calipers.
All KJs have been inside and cozy but took the 03 out this morning to go to town (well,... largest town here close , 10 miles away 2,173 people LOL )
Mom needed some things and at 5 degrees it was too cold for a 90 year old to be out
Took back roads , one lane dirt roads , some haven't been plowed this year , so fun fun fun
Coming back local farmer was in front of me in a chevy PU
Started down one long steep hill , he starts sliding, made it to the bottom, then bam gets ______ into snow , down over a bank about 4 foot high
into a hay field , does a big old loop and stops ,
I go down , he is spinning , I said Id pull him out, makes a snide remark about a " JEEP "
Said well you want out or not
In the end hooked on pulled him out and up into the road
Get out to unhook my tow strap, he is still grumbling , so I drove off
Hope I don't get that bad when I get old, I'm bad enough already LOL

You need to get the UBJ boot down or install some big washers under boot to fill the void, BJ will rust and cause issues down the road
also get that V cut in bumpstop ! LOL

Roger. Cut the bump stops right after photo taken. That boot has been finicky. I may have to pull it and boil it.
Marlin ( JBA ) and I discussed this issue years ago
Nothing much really you can do, new boots or install a thick washer
I used the think washer trick on the 04 I think it is , been on there for several years now
actually it is a thick plastic washer
Johnny O
Just hangin' out.
I just pulled the boot. Plunged it in boiling water to relax it, stretched it on a dowel, and stuffed it in a snow drift. Bada Bing.
However, before reinstalling, I cut a bunch of foam washers and worked grease into them. Then installed them and pulled the boot over.
I figure that will keep it greasy and when I do preventative maintenance I’ll give ‘em a few squirts in the boot.
Only time will tell if that works.
It may, or may pull them down off a bit

Well looky that. Way easier if you done it before. Good thing I practiced on Wifey’s Bert a few weeks back.
Of course I’ll get to do it again when her nitro chargers show up. She has determined she “likes the pretty yellow better than the bilstien silver on hers” … redgih Frakkin’ mudurh racking’…..
better do the other side before I run outta daylight and temperature.
