What bumper is that? Or is it a custom built? Looks good!
I have been following along, and I truly do not envy your cooling system journey
Not one bit.My TJ for the most part sat neglected from 04-21. At some point it had a made in China radiator installed that has a 2011 date code.
So far (over a year ago) I installed a Duralast Gold T stat and fan clutch, and had the drive through oil change place change out the coolant with their machine.
My coolant is a shade of green and runs cool with the Chinese radiator and the AC blasting when its 115.

I've got Thermocure in it right now. I popped the rad cap tonight and it is definitely black on the inside. It will be getting the Thermocure flushed out this weekend, I'm going to run tap water through it for a long, long time. After that, it will be at least 3 flushes with distilled water (enough to where it comes out clear), and then it is getting filled with coolant. I am tired of messing with it. Good enough is good enough at this point.
I had never heard of them and they're only like 2 hours away. I like their stuff, thanks!
Installed steinjager front bumper and lights on Ursula,my 99 TJ
I ran the stereo power cord from the battery, through the big rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the stereo. Working with split loom was a pain in the ass, but the power from the battery to the stereo has been run. The solder seal wire connectors should be here today and then I'll finish up the wiring of the stereo.
It should make the 6.5" Kickers that I put in the sound bar sound much better. I still have the crappy factor speakers in the dash. Those will get replaced with speaker pods and 5.25" speakers at some point, just not right now. I may just go ahead and take out the dash speakers because a) I can barely hear them anyways already and b) the 45W per channel may pop them anyways.

Do not do this. Running an amp without a load can blow the amp.
You need a speaker for each of its outputs, I'm assuming it has 4. With that said, many modern amps will protect themselves against a no-load condition, but I wouldn't chance it myself.
Pulled my tailgate without having to drill out the stupid torx, for my
new Morryde hinges. Made it 21 years unpainted, do I leave as is or hit with rust reformer?
No rust, no reformer needed. I would, however, prime and paint it.
Before and after. New to me bumper. Time for a backup camera.
Northridge4x4 is having a 10% off Labor Day sale. I have a rear ARB locker, manifold, and some bits in the shopping cart. Wrestling with my inner cheapskate between taking the holiday sale or biding my time and watching Marketplace / CL for a killer deal on a Dana 44 ARB locker that has been sitting on the shelf but never installed. Yeah I know, "first world problems".

False. That's only true on tube amps, but with solid state amps no load will not harm the amp at all.
edit to clarify — Actually, it's for amps with output transformers, which tube amps typically do have and solid state typically do not. However, I don't believe there are any solid state car audio amplifiers, especially those built into a head unit, that use an output transformer.

Been sick with covid last 2 weeks so I just stare at it from my bedroom window wishing I was driving or working on it.

Fuel filter check valve combo, No more Crankasaurus Rex, I could almost hear my starter say, ‘thank you’… Was gonna drop the tank but kicked over some aluminium plate as I went to grab my jack, it was a sign… Drill slow and careful, jigsaw, square, nutserts, and black silicon. Waay easier than dropping the tank, no risk of stressed hoses either.
And next time even easier.
