derf Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 It'll be a while until I can use this but I wanted it to be here ahead of time. The hydraulic pump is on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may also end up bending some steering and/or suspension pieces depending on how exactly everything lays out. I'm doing 1.75" OD for the cage. Probably get a die for 2" for the suspension and steering. The bender can do up to 0.250" wall tubing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derf Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Finally got some more time for tear down. There's a little bit of rust on the floor boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Once the sheet metal work is done, I'm going to be doing a full sandblast to bare metal and a full repaint. Once the paint dries, I'm going to want to do some kind of a liner inside and not run carpet. Maybe have a rubber floor mat at most. I'm trying to figure out the best liner to run. I want something more than bed liner. I've been considering LizardSkin, going with the sound deadener, ceramic heat insulation, and then a top coat. Does anyone have good experience with LizardSkin or one of their competitors? Any suggestions on alternatives to look at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I know it’s just a bedliner, but my dad ran Raptor Liner in his YJ. It was about as quiet as the stock carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Seemed to do great. My dad has been using it under customer cars for his restoration shop for over 15 years (hits the bottom sides of the floors and inside the fenders with the product), it was inside his YJ, and its in the bed of my MJ. It seems to handle heat very well. I haven't seen it fail yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
