Panaji: Goa police’s anti-terrorist squad (ATS) appears ill-equipped to deal with the frequent alerts the state receives, as its vehicles five ramshackled jeeps that break down regularly are barely enough to take on the increasingly well-equipped terrorists should they decide to strike in Goa.
A source told TOI that ATS has been sending proposals for replacement of old vehicles to Goa police, but there doesn’t seem to be any progress in the matter.
Two of the jeeps are two decades old, and two others are around 10 years old.
The four patrol Margao, Vasco, Panaji and Mapusa. Superintendent of police (SP) Bossuet Silva, who is in charge of motor transport, said, “Goa police is in process of allotting new vehicles to the ATS”.
Replacing Seats on a No Top YJ

Replacing Seats on a No Top YJ Before I start, I d like to say that I have read just about every YJ seat swap thread I could find. Doing the swap isn t the question I have. At least not until I get stuck lol.
Since I am going to go topless almost full time with only a bimini/safari top, I m thinking about weather. Located in SoCal, so rain isn t a huge issue, but I still don t want to ruin seats when it inevitably does.
Leather will probably be too hot with this sun. Will cloth get ruined with rain or sun? I see a lot of people use the neoprene seat covers. Are there other better choices out there?
Differential exterior cleaning and blasting

Suspension: Stock Happy Easter!
I m thinking of having my axles re-geared with new bearings etc at East Coast Gear Supply (I live in NC, not too far from ECGS and would not have to ship). I don t have the skills or tools to re-gear myself and certainly wouldn t want my first re-gear attempt be on these diffs. ECGS will of course do all the mechanical work, but do not do any cleaning (blasting) or painting. They prefer to work on complete units that have not been disassembled and this is understandable.
I was thinking about cleaning, sand blasting, and painting the differential exteriors before taking to ECGS and I m sure they would like to work on nice clean units. Can they be completely assembled when blasted? Is there much trouble keeping media out of the brakes, axle and yolk bearings and seals? Is it possible to do a first class paint job on assembled units. I also plan to replace and/or rebuild all brake components.
