What did you do to your TJ today?

You would think that getting all that wound up crap out would have done the trick and got it unstuck.

Replaced the ball joints, did a front brake job, and rotated the tires. It seems that Virginia has annual vehicle inspections, and the inspector failed me on account of the ball joints. It wasn't too bad of a job, YouTube videos, including one from BFH Garage helped.
new wiper blades and then addressed relocating the washer fluid tank. thinking about moving the air intake driver side. washer tank tucked up nicely up near the master cylinder.

About an inch or slightly better.
Decided to replace the radio that came with my '01 TJ and move into the 21st century.
Found a good deal on Cyber Monday and purchased a Sony MEX-N5300BT.
After removing the old radio I found the source of some noises behind the radio bezel and a mess of wiring connections. Spent some time cleaning up the harness prior to installing the radio.
This radio has Bluetooth, a USB connection and is iPhone capable so that I can make phone calls inside the Jeep.
The difference in the sound quality has been quite dramatic. I had previously upgraded the front speakers to Infinity Kappa 64CFX 4x6 94 dB and rear speakers to Polk Audio DB522 DB+ 91 dB and packed the cavity behind the speakers with Polyfil to enhance the sound quality.

Your inspection process includes testing ball joints??????
When I was stationed there in included pointing the driver side headlight into the trees. Always had to tweek it back down after I got it back. Three different vehicles every damn time
I have the same radio… have really liked it so far besides how it looks. I definitely like the factory look more. That said though, this really isn’t that bad

Then you don't want the H&R springs. Unless you add a 1" spacer
This could be an option.

Ours in Mass does too, as well as the rest of the front end. We also have a pretty stringent lift law.
Damn that Virginia!
p.s. My state inspection guy tells me what's wrong and asks if I want to fix it or wait.
Added Bartact's lumbar support to my driver's seat. I've had their seat covers for +3 years and can't for the life of me figure out why I didn't order the lumbar support when I ordered the covers new.
After seeing posts from a couple others about them, I decided to order one. Man, what an improvement!

Only if you take it to an @$$hole inspection station. I had one place tell me my headlights were too dim to pass. I told him it's a Jeep. They're candle powered.
^ Geeze. Thank goodness my state doesn't have the big brother up my ass
