I haven’t been good with updating the blog, mostly because I’m lazy and also after I’m done working on the Jeep my hands and fingers are filthy so I can’t touch anything.
I’ve accomplished a lot since my last update, the clutch and flywheel have been replaced. I upgraded the carburetor by getting a Weber 38 carb. Before upgrading the carb, I also had to perform the Nutter Bypass which essentially takes the computer control out of the emission system. I also performed the Team Rush upgrade which utilities a larger distributor cap, plugs, wires and ignition coil to provide a better and consistent spark.
I’m also able to stop the Jeep now! With new front rotors and discs and new back drums the Jeeps stops on a dime. After installing all new brake parts, I had to also install brake lines, during the brake bleeding process, I started to pump the brakes and brake fluid was squirting all over the place because of holes in the old lines.
I’ll be updating the site with all the changes/upgrades I have done to date including images…but for now here are two images of the Jeep as it stands today.
Creep With A Jeep 
Jeep YJ 87 Blue… “He needed the money! OH!”

You should find a shop that can paint the car with PlastiDip. The rubberized matte finish would look great on the Jeep. You can do it yourself, but you’ll need a lot of spray cans. Plus, shops will be able to include additives to the color to give the final coat a pearlescent shimmer in the sunlight.
And if you ever want to change the color, you can even cleanly peel it off without damaging the exterior.
I was thinking of coating the bottom half of the Challenger with PlastiDip to protect the body from splatters and rocks (without installing splash guards), but I’m too lazy to pull the trigger on that.

I looked into the PlastiDip and determined it was going to be just as expensive as painting the car. After the body work and rust removal, I had to prime the Jeep anyway, so I figured I might as well paint it. I might PlastiDip the grill or hood black.

So is it blue or white? Is this like that thing with the dress that no one could tell whether it was blue and black or white and gold?
