What did you do to your TJ today?

No need for a phone - just a camera.

Wife wanted a Sonic Blast so we took the new TJ that replaced the Tj that was totaled on May 24th… red/black Chevrolet truck rear ended me while I was stopping at a red light… by the time I came to a stop and got out he was gone!… I don’t have rear facing dashcam, so I’m hoping the cities traffic cameras can help locate this asshole… luckily, I’ve got full coverage on this one…



***** Edit**** and the results are in… $2988 in damage!

I have a similar dent - so the dent is still there but covered? How are you stopping water getting behind it where you have a dent just above the fuel cap?

I banged as much of it out as I could and put a coat of paint over the dented parts and bolted the armor on.. there’s no crease visible…

Deep trans pan and fluid for the ole 32rh didn’t drop the terraflex skid, but should have. My fingers and arms are sore. No leaks and no good pics either… New joint for loose the T flex long arm heim, surprisingly simple even without their tool, provided you have a tub of spare bolts and some big sockets.

Not a big project, but worthwhile.

We had to replace the garage door opener and that meant new remotes.
The remotes that came with this new opener are about the size of a shoebox and they were not going to work on the TJ visor.

I hate fumbling around to find them, so this was on today’s list.

As expected, the tab that secures the panel to the dash is directly where the clip on the remote had to go.

Drilled a few small diameter holes through the stand-off, added a couple of bends to the clip & applied some sticky-backed felt to the backside of the remote to help keep it quiet.
I’m happy. It’s not as visible as up on the visor and way less apt to be under the seat the next time I pull up to the garage.
 
What's the second light under the flare? Looking for marker ideas for the sides under the flare.

Genright Stealth LEDs. They come with an angled aluminum bracket that bolts up with the hood catch. PM me how to wire them in if needed. They don’t blink, marker only.

These are zip tied on, they will mount more outbound when permanent.

Self adhesive velcro is another way to go.
 
That shit is 100% GARBAGE; besides, it leaves a sticky mess on everything that is fails to adhere to.
Same w/ double-faced tape.
Even the VHB from 3M isn't going to hold up if it is exposed to UV and/or heat.
It's exactly what I'm using to hold my opener in place. It's still holding strong after 5 years so...
