The check engine light came on yesterday. It did not want to idle. So, using the key on off (3) times to get only code(s), I only see code P508. Picked up a can of T cleaner to clean it and all is well again.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Got the whole group of my projects out today so I snapped a pic.
Ok, I am calling this job complete!!!!
Just felt the need to go back over the harness one more time!
Started on the driver's side and slowly worked my way to the passenger side.
Moved some crumbling loom and found a bare wire.
Got a short peice of loom that I have, it's to small, Ben here's that a lot, taped up the spot and put new loom on.
Left the old PCM on and cleared the codes, PO765 and O2 Sensor heater, pulled out of the driveway BB shifted through the gears perfectly.
Came back and the only codes were for O2 Sensor heater so I reinstalled the Wranglerfix PCM and went for another test run probably 16 miles round trip with a stop about halfway. No coded and shifting perfectly.
Win win.
you want the JL door off mirror kit. Just remove the JL bracket and they bolt right in. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3053736289...pid=5337789113&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1
Should be ~$100 eBay or Craigslist. I paid $110 shipped for an unused in box set.
Just had this too. I took the gas cap off then back on, cleared the code and it’s been off for a few days now. Hopefully was the fix me is both haha.
What mirrors did you end up getting? I have two sets of the ones I picked up on eBay and I am happy with them. Zero complaints. They stay where I set them and don't vibrate.
Swapped my Pro comp rims off the green machine onto the LJ, definitely looks better. Hopefully the offset helps the front tires clear the control arms while turning LOL.
I wouldn't either, but it's great to have the hitch for my cargo platform. Plus, I've got a bike rack that fits in it, but haven't used it yet.

I finally had enough time and motivation to replace the power steering pump, serpentine belt, & idler pulley.
It wasn’t difficult, but of course the new clamp that I had set aside for the return line on the pump wasn’t quite big enough and I didn’t have enough new fluid to I’ll it up.

Yup. Everyone liked them but me. I went with a mopar/JL door off mirror kit.
A few folks who posted had purchased them on Amazon. Mine were eBay. No idea if they came from the same vendor. They were incredibly well packed.
I added CMM OffRoad Grab handles and added the mirror kit for doors off. I've been running the half doors and haven't tried the CMM mirrors yet.

I have some surface rust on mine so I will probably take care of that this weekend

Passenger side right above a sensor? The old loom as you can see has crumbled completely apart. Looking at the picture it wrapped in the new loom to the left.
I didn't need the coil spring compressor today. I managed to lower the axle further and they just fell out. When I put everything back together the TJ was 2" higher in the rear. Looks kinda badass like I'm ready to drag race...yeah right. I'm going to straighten the pinion angle tomorrow which will rotate the spring perches rearward and lower the springs a bit. I'll take another measurement afterwards.

Glad you got it fixed. Making a mental note of this in case I have this issue in the future.
The hardest part of this whole deal was convincing the wife that last weekends trip to Stoney Lonesome didn't contribute to this!!!!!!

I know what you mean. A few years ago, my wife went with me to Gulches Off Road Park (here in SC). The day after we got back the Jeep wouldn't start. Ignition actuator broke. The first thing she said was we broke it at Gulches.
