The shop space will be nice, especially when you can set it up how you want.

Ha yeah the hard part is knowing what I want now! I've been putting it off cos I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to end up with. But now I'm just gonna send it and change it if I don't like it later lol

Im using an orbital palm sander. The next ones shouldn't take as long since those wont have a new layer of stain over old.

Ah that's good at least. Well have fun! Are you sanding inside the garage there too or is just the stain location

@lBasket - if you still want to drive my 5 speed with 4.56s, we're going to have to meet up soon. It's on its way out the door since I bought a new(er) TJ Friday.

Ah shit! Well we'll have to see what happens... Next weekend is Moab! Maybe I'll get a chance out there with the group. Otherwise maybe we can do it when I get back... But don't hold out on selling it on my account!

I've been doing everything in the garage. I use my blower and compressor to clear the dust out. Which is part of what sucks, I can only sand/stain and let dry about two railings at a time since I am still keeping my jeep in the garage rather than out on the street

Look now I'm part of stain gang 💪 they'll be mostly not visible for mounting a trash can pullout, so don't need to look the greatest lol

Oh yes that nice fun windy section of 24 for like an entire hour. It sucked last weekend just without the half door uppers. You both are crazy
 
Seems like this has been asked over and over in this thread, but I'm seeing if anyone has any new recommendations in the greater Denver area for regearing. For my previous TJ, I used Black Label Off Road in Golden, but it looks like they're out of business. All Seasons 4x4 in Broomfield has also closed shop.

I have a call into The Edge for a quote since it seems like I see them recommended regularly, but if there's anyone on the north side, even up to Loveland, that anyone would recommend, I'm all ears. (I'll stay away from John's 4x4 in Boulder since they were insistent that 4.56s were ridiculous and what I really wanted for 31s was 3.73 gears.)

Specifically, I'm looking for 5.13s and E-lockers in both ends.

When do you need it done by? I'll have some free time coming up fairly soon.

I'm not in a rush, I was thinking early July. I was planning to wait until after I sell my old TJ, but I could be ready sooner if necessary to fit in to your schedule. I'd be happy to have you do the work.

I'm South in Parker, not North if that matters. DM me and see if we can work out the details.

You have a yard at least!
View attachment 429424

My backyard is nothing but dirt. My goal is to put down sod this month along with much needed landscaping, but need to get the sprinklers sorted out first. There is a broken line near the stairs, and I know of at least 5 missing sprinker heads with one being under the barrel, one left of that below the red pavers, one in the center of the grey pavers, one in the middle of the yard on the other side of the maple tree and one behind me in the photo that may or may not be under the rock wall. I just dont understand why, whoever was responsible for it, paved over everything 😑 Also the mismatched paver stones bother the hell out of me, there are 5 different styles...

Your yard reminds me of my grandparents' yard in Arvada and is giving me a whole lot of nostalgia.

Are you replacing the broken line with PVC or HDPE?
