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.
