With the body off, it is a good
time to make the engine breath better, a good set of headers wouldn't hurt.
This is really what we needed since the engine was already putting out
200 hp. We decided that with the gas prices the way they are, why
not make the engine run more efficient.
(At least that's why I told my wife
I did it)

Since the CJ Gas filler is on the
passenger side and YJ's is on the driver side, we had to turn the tank
around. The tank is now mounted on the top of the rear crossover.

Since the back now will have
quite a bit of space, we used 6 inch carriage bolts to hang the front of
the tank we used large fender washers to disperse the weight.

To keep the look of the CJ
style, we used the original roll bar. Since the YJ has no holes in
the body, we drilled holes and used the old bolts. If you plan to
use the CJ roll bar, you must use the bolts through the fenders!
This is where most of the strength of the body is in a roll over.

With help from some friends, we
lifted the body and installed the 2.5" body lift. We started to install
the fenders and the dashboard.
