So I couldn't find the mount where the shocks go to on the yj so I simply bought some plates for the cj. Once I found out that they aren't wide enought to fit on the yj I cut off the male ends from the cj plates and welded them onto the missing yj part. I then sanded and repainted the yj plates. Here is the finished product. Lets hope its an ok mount for the shocks. It was welded pretty good.

Finished up my Top Hoist 
I bought a hand winch and rope from HF and various pulleys ,eye hooks, cable clamps and quick chain links from Lowes
Installed the winch on the wall
Put 2 eye hooks with a piece of galvanized pipe between them as a "pulley'' to get me around the corner of the wall to ceiling
Then put the 6 eye hooks and pulleys on the ceiling(making sure to hit a floor joist) also put the 4 eye hooks on the platform that used to be the hardtop dolly. i also ran the rope through every pulley.
I used a small D rind to transition from the rope to the winch hook.
Last i put my summer windows and soft top on the platform and raised it to the ceiling, I put 2 ratchet straps on to keep it up in case something fails.

After rebalancing and rotating the tires the other day I got a vibration around 50-55.
I watched the tech balance all the tires to "0". So the tire is balanced perfect but still is out of balance.
I've came to the conclusion the tire either has a busted belt or is out of round.
I've had this tire on the jeep 3 times now and taken it back off after a few hundred miles each time. I always figured the tech got lazy on one wheel and didn't get it completely balanced, but this time I watched him closely....
I put it back on the tailgate, I'll see if I can get it replaced.
