What did you do to your TJ today?

Well my parts from Illinois and Superbright LEDs finally arrived via Hawaii...spent 5 minutes and have a working turn signal. Bolt lights. Worried that 1 out of the 4 I bought didn't last a year.

Been looking at transistor and ICs for a chase circuit... would love to have three bolt lights...low power trim light, three light high chase on turn signal. Might figure it out someday.

Probably close to 50" long would be my guess.

Perfect length for my long arm setup 😅
My guess is 66"-68", assuming that pallet is 40"x48". Thanks, Pythagoras... :geek:

Haha i peeps the Pythagoras🧐
Aye if ya didnt know there's now a few more parts missing from my jeep 😉
Surprised you haven't checked in 🤣Beat ya to it
 
Oh, I saw. I had intended to post this for the benefit of those just tuning in...but been busy with work this evening and didn't get around to it....

HAAHA🤣🤣
Damn right then it moved over to a radiator replacement since i cracked the one that was on there when removing the tranny cooler lines ,Thought to myself about a cam swap so i decided to do a cam swap since I had a bigger cam laying around, gotta take off the grill to do a cam swap.....decided "hey I should fix all of the 50 rock chips I have on the grill" So i resprayed it And since I'm already here I should repaint the fenders and since I'm already here I may as well respray the fire wall too!
That's not even all! I have about 10+ other things I can list, but I listed what's above to make a "long story short"

So anyways yeah that harmonic balancer is where it all F'n started😅
Currently Waiting on my Performance head with Ls sized valves , My jeep woulda been running, but Clearwater Cylinder Heads cant keep their ish together and lied to me several times and after almost a month I'm now getting it this friday......supposedly but I don't think so,I've lost my hopes with them already🤦🏽

Yeah I think you should make the circle bigger now Add about 20 more arrows too! 🤣

Moral of the story I get wrapped around my "Since im already here" way too much.
Everything is easy when you're 19 and have a bit of money and PTO to do all this 😁 I'm broke as of now...

Partial coolant drain last night (third night in a row). Replaced worm gear hose clamps with spring tension clamps (OEM), MotoRad t-stat with Robert Shaw, and t-stat housing. Gasket leaked, reinstalled with RTV. Hopefully finished dicking with the cooling system for a while.

On the bright side, I didn't spill a couple gallons of coolant like I often do! :LOL:

Failed state inspection. Shocks are leaking. Brakes/Rotor are rusted. Rear axle leak. Rear Frame needs patched. They want $1500 for everything $1000 of that is parts. I asked them why they had the wrong parts on the estimate (dana35 axle seal) the desk clerk said "Oh I am not a jeep person" Grrr

Frustrated because brakes/rotors are 2 years old only about 10k miles on them. Same with the shocks.

Oh well time to start buying some parts and call my welding guy. Really need a heated garage.
