I am looking for a hood and stock roll bar near the Bay Area. Really want to get my Jeep back on the trails this summer.

Hey Fellas I got some bad news on my end... After getting the frame stiffeners welded onto @XJRAIDERS Cherokee we realized the bumper he got made will no longer fit and needs to go back for modification. This is gonna take a month or so and we wont have things ready for the July dates. I also...

There is a guy that has a few TJ's he is parting out on FB. I am going to check em out and see what condition the hoods/roll bars are in. If he has a good hood I will go for it. If not I will take the cheap aftermarket. I am not super concerned about the fitment. My BFH fixes everything. Lol

They have new ones locally for $250. https://sanjoseautoparts.com/s/lkq-CH1230205V-hood/1997/Jeep/Wrangler

Unfortunately sourcing parts is the only hold up. Still waiting for parts to come in. For some reason its taking forever to get the damn windshield seals.

Gotta love the access hole for oil changes. Shit goes everywhere with the UCF skid...

Got her all pulled apart and ready for the next steps!

Sweet, what did you end up with?

I drop my pressure to 8-10psi without locks and never popped a bead. But having 35" tires on a 15" rim is probably what gets me by.

I hear its impossible to find someone to mount and balance them. But you can always mount them yourself and use balancing beads. (At least thats what I read)

Alright fellas I set the dates for July 19th-21st and updated the first post

There is a shop out here that has new ones for $250

It opens and closes now, just looks like hell. I did consider letting it ride and wear it like a badge of honor. But my vanity is forcing me to make it all better. Lol

Got the top off and windshield frame pulled. Looks like everything else is in good shape other than hood and displaced front fender. I am gonna pull the front end apart this week and try to get things back in line.

37s are a big leap in $ for all the supporting mods... I am trying to convince myself my 35s are good enough so I don't end up eating Cup O Noodles and sleeping in a cardboard box. Lol
