Went to start the jeep. No start. After checking everything out. Bad battery. I guess I will be seeing friend Mike at Deka Batteries tomorrow.

Today the check engine light went off. It is the 6th cylinder mis-firing.
Question: should I fix it asap or it can wait until the weather gets better?

You say it "went off", does that mean you no longer have a light? If you have a constant misfire that you can feel, I would be concerned because you're dumping fuel in to a cylinder that's not able to burn it. However, many misfires are just cold misfires and the cylinders are actually firing correctly after a few seconds. I would rush to fix the former but not the latter.

hmn, I thought if you say went off that means it is ON.
Yeah, I hope it's just the weather, I am in Clinton Iowa when the engine light went off (on). It is darn cold up here

Well, after taking apart my rear sway bar and links, I lubed up all the fancy new bushings I ordered only to find that I left my big c-clamp back home.
Looks like i’ll Be driving to work very carefully tomorrow AM, then borrowing the u-joint press from Autozone on the way home.

Mounted and wired my 10" Rigid Industries combo light bar today.

What did you need a clamp for? I replaced my rear sway bar bushings with just my hands.
I just replaced the links themselves, they are too cheap to be screwing around replacing just the bushings.
Last night swapped my white LED dash and climate control light with blue LED. 2 of the white ones had stopped working. Blue looks pretty cool. At one time they were red but that was not easy on the eyes.
Today I greased the CAs and steering system. I broke the seat release lever (will use bike cable to fix). One day I'll break down and buy new seats.

Loosened and then re-torqued my rear control arms and trackbar. I had some strange handling quirks after my lift, and Blaine suggested I do this first to see if it fixed the problem...He was right again! Took a bit longer than it should have, one of my frame side LCA bolts was a bit seized in the bushing...so I had to work it with the impact to free it up. I need to do the front end too...I removed the axles to clean rust when I lifted the girl, but I didn't remove ALL the control arms so there are a few bushings up front that might still be "wound up"
Also routed wires for my new to me CB. Got the antenna wire routed and power routed. Will need to pick up a fuse box tap tomorrow to finish.

I used a diy motorcycle clutch cable kit for mine and it's a beast! No more risk of the cables snapping anymore.

Going to have to look into that one. Sounds way more stout.
