What did you do to your TJ today?
- Thread starter LJRubiconGuy
- Start date
Friend of mine started at 5:00am to detangle awful wiring from PO - fixed dysfunctional fuel pump issue - a huge, huge win. I followed up with the boring details of filling cooling system, re-assembled parking brake, fixed leaking brake lines.
Body Armor 4x4 TJ-4121 Black -... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NP1PPG/?tag=wranglerorg-20
Bought them when I fit got the Jeep not knowing much about them. Mainly because they are a simple bolt on and I was afraid of drilling into the tub. (something I still haven’t done).
Does that stay on long? I have to get my 1/2 door inners painted tan to black when I get around to painting the doors!
Inspection and greasing of front end components which included the ball joints, steering TRE's, trac bar and JKS sway bar disconnect swivels.
Let's see... a bunch of little things that have needed to be done for a while.
- New fan motor
- New windshield washer reservoir, pump, lines and nozzle.
- LED dash lights
- New lenses for the front blinkers
- New paddles/latches for both doors and tailgate.
- Remove and refinish center console and shifter housing.
- Remove and repaint front bumper
- Instal new front fog lights.
- Replace sliders.
- route and install back up camera.
"WE" did put it right in 1776 !!!I have been metric since 1972 but I still say "He,s about 6' " and even 8x4 sheet or 4x2 piece of timber but to tell you the truth the metric system is just so much easier! Americans say 2x4 which is strange to me because UK and its colonies always said 4x2. Your money is metric your Drugs are metric lol! They should teach kids in US school both systems, I learned both and can still use the imperial system without thinking about it, your Gas gallons confuse me though I know it was the British who robbed you of the correct liquid amounts but you have had plenty of time since 1776 to put it right!
turned off an idiot light
Let's go Brandon and Gavin Newscum too!

That's an expensive fix these days.
Yeah…..That's an expensive fix these days.
Especially when a gallon of gas in that area is approaching $6.00.
What would you expect in Commifornia.
I am going to comply with the demand for pictures... oh the shame...
First, the original wheels with tires dated in 2012 (5212) when I bought it in January.
The day it came home with the new tires and parts.
Cooper Discoverer AT3's at 31 x 10.5 x 15 on Ion Matte Black 171's
This morning with better lighting
I can't get underneath easily, still recovering from hip replacements.
I climbed down to see and poke at the frame the day I bought it. I needed a cane and walker to get down and back up.
Climbing in now with it raised up higher is a bit entertaining, but healing over time will help.
Well... I finished, finally, fully rewiring a CJ7 a couple months ago while putting a modern sound system in it with a back up camera... I'm still traumatized from that so I'm going to go with the easy mechanical stuff now to get my confidence back. I have the doors off and I'm going to do the paddles and refinish the panels and the center console as well.
Bumper and fog lights after that.
I'm getting shitty gas mileage but in my experience I have ~4 gallons left when the light is tripped. I was on low E and it only took 15 gallons.

Anyone know the thread size for O2 sensors? Instead of unscrewing the old sensor my Milwaukee impact decided to break the welded in plug/ bung section of the catalytic converter completely out lol I also found out that my converter is a fraud. Got the center skid sections primed up and the front driveshaft back in. Time to get the plate back on so I can get the rear trailing arm section cut out and replaced.
The thread size is M18x1.5. The cat could of been hollowed out by previous owner. I found using head and a hand wrench to work the o2 loose is the way to go.
