What did you do to your TJ today?

I gathered up some more $$$ today for my TJ project by selling some Rugged Ridge seats that I had purchased a few years ago and used in my wife's XJ. Miserably uncomfortable seats. Glad to be rid of them...

Nothing worse than uncomfortable seats. The seats in our Rodeo make my butt go numb. Sole sucking machine, it is. Serves a purpose though, so gotta keep it.

I installed them in the XJ the day before we were doing a road trip down Hwy 101 in Oregon. They were so damn uncomfortable, we drove my old Dodge diesel, instead. Did use the seats for about 9 months. I finally had the original seat frames repaired (welded), and reinstalled them. I will never buy aftermarket seats again...
 
I am admittedly very picky with seats. I hate seats that run out of seat before I run out of leg. We traded in a 1 1/4 year old car (yes, a very rare new car purchase) because the seats were so terrible on a trip.

So, I feel your pain. Good move.

I broke ALL FOUR rear upper shock mount bolts. Eff my Life...Stupid Rust Belt Jeep. Gotta change her name from Rubi to Rusti...

Yikes, I’m about to jinx myself but I haven’t broke a single bolt yet in my recent wrenching adventures. I have smashed my hand and fingers and hit my head so hard on my bumper that I laid there for about 10 minutes tho.

I tell folks that it's not really yours until you bleed! ;)
 
I used the penetrol on the hardtop today. Learned from this site about it so decided to give it a go.

First had to wash the hardtop and gave the rest of the Jeep a quick wash.

Took the top off and went to work.

Then gave it a final wipe down.

Let it sit for the night and put the top back on tomorrow.
What did you use to apply the penetrol?
 
Finished the Antirock install, took the top off and installed the Alien Shade. It's a beautiful California day, now where to drive off to :)

How do you like the Alien shade? I wasn't sure as I was installing it but now that I have taken a few drives, I really like it.

You guys are lucky. 39* here in SLC and windy. Took a ride to the hills for a bit with the heater cranked full blast. No doors or top off until May or June.
