Or just think of a business address or your local ups drop if you don’t want your address out there- a lot of us use zip ties so we don’t have to drill the frame.
What did you do to your TJ today?

I think I’m going to try to get the axle housing diameter and trace it with a sharpie- drilling holes in the back of the mount to thru-weld to helps too
The factory mount is basically heavy sheet metal.
Buggies to the left of me and built TJ's to the right. Here l am stuck in the middle.
clowns and jokers. Sounds funI'm Jealous... I'm at work and its raining on my TJ...

A few small things I have done to my Rubicon just to make it mine. @AndyG knows how to build a Jeep to handle like a dream. His long arm white Rubicon handles so well, the Black one I got from him handles perfectly. There's not a lot that I can do to this Jeep to make it anymore off roadable, so I am just spending a little here and there to make it mine.
Added these door limit straps, and the Rugged ridge dash tray phone holder.

Currie or someone has a short on line video I saw it on
Yeah that red one doesn't look like it could get out of it's own way !
Still kills me I let a shop long arm that ‘03- that is from building first, then finding the right forum- as @jjvw once said, it is the connections that matter.
The long arm lesser arc theory is borderline ridiculous.
I’m glad you are enjoying it John, I sure did. I know it will be well cared for ….I sure did not want some kid to get it and ruin it.
It was even better on my newer 33” KO 2 tires that are destined for the ‘04. The tires on it are ok but when you freshen them up it will just get better.
I’m glad a good friend has it.

Thanks bud, I have to say even my wife noticed the difference in the ride quality between the Rubicon and my old Sport.
I also changed the oil today!!!!!
Changing the transmission oil pan to add a temp gauge. The magnet was not in my pan, and I had to run down 30 miles to get one, nice drive with my wife and dogs in the Ram. Should have it finished this afternoon. It will be nice to be able to see the temp and have a drain plug. Thanks @mrblaine for the modified Dorman pan.
I have some cool 3" projection led's coming I am putting in my front bumper . They have white and amber fog led's and I ordered an on-off-on switch for my panel so I can switch them to whichever mode I need . Also picked up some loom to run the wire in , I like the factory look. Got a heat shrink assortment while I was at it, I have a little but I am doing the big 5 too so that will take care of that also. Ordered the 1awg wire too , I have all the rest of the stuff to make up the big 5 kit .
I'm going to have to go crazy on this thing pretty soon , I figure it God put me on this earth to do a number of things .... I'm so far behind I will live forever ! LOL !

Picked it up from Acme 4x4 this morning with the rebuilt rear differential
I knew the old one had issues because the harmonics at different speeds were tell tale.
Ended up replacing the center section completely with a new 3:73 LS, verses the 3:73 open that was in it.
All I can say is , what a difference it made. No harmonics, no vibrations, and a completely different ride.
Money well spent

You are very welcome. BTW- Day trips or multi-day for tuna and whatnot? Point Loma?
Reinstalled the rear diff along with Currie 4" springs and hooked up the rear RJ swaybar. Waiting on bmb rear disc conversion.
And the atlas tcase showed up Thursday so looks like I'm going to be busy. Hopefully my firewood gets delivered this week. It's starting to get cold.
