What did you do to your TJ today?

I installed the tailgate prop I made using @jscherb 's design (thanks for the plans, Jeff!):

Instead of bending the wire, I cut four pieces, fusion-welded them with my TIG torch, and then cut the center out of the side that mounts in the bracket on the outer hinge. Worked good!

I also installed @Blackjack 's winch snorkel bolt, but, unfortunately, I took no pictures. I ran the tubing up to a Parker Fast & Tite 90° fitting in the top of the airbox. I also put RTV on the gearbox side of the motor housing, as it didn't have any.

After a crazy 3 week run at work, I had a day off to get back to the jeep. Finished my box, except for installing the subwoofer, and I think it turned out pretty nice. Wrapped in black speaker box carpet. I left the sides bare as I like the contrast look of the wood and carpet. Bolted into the jeep using existing rear seat bolt holes. Everything fits pretty nicely. I won't hardly have that much stuff loaded, but built it to handle the layout. Gonna put it to the test this week on a big camping trip.

Sorry to hear that. I took care of my mom with dementia for 2 years. Nothing more stressful than that. Good luck.

Thanks Boog. He locked me and my Uncle Thomas out of the house this evening 🤣🤣🤣. We were outside solving all the worlds problems and had no idea a real one was happening.

Man what a ride. Another beautiful evening here. This is unedited.

I know what you are going through. Previous 3 yrs I went through a lot of the same stuff with my dad. He passed last Nov. I miss him but he isn't suffering anymore. Cherish even the frustrating times.

I’m immensely grateful to be here. He locked me and my Uncle out yesterday, it was hyterical.

He has gotten up and gotten dressed like he is leaving. It is tough.
