What did you do to your TJ today?

what do all the buttons and switches do?

The 2 toggles run the light bar and the OEM fogs. The others are Schrader valves for the front and rear lockers.

This is interesting, thanks for the idea. I have factory Rubicon front/rear lockers (no pumps) and based on my research and experience with the bike pump, they only require ~5 psi. I'm not sure what psi the small CO2 pump systems put out, but my concerns are blowing out the air bladders in the Rubicon lockers using something like a standard air compressor, or anything that isn't reliably and consistently regulating the psi down to what the Rubicon lockers require. I suppose one solution is purchasing the factory pumps and doing the wiring/switches, but they seem to be scarce. I've been researching options, and trying to educate myself. I do know that I don't want to spend the cash for ARB lockers that operate on more psi.

Not familiar enough with the psi requirements. Just a random thought.

You could always run a power tank so you could regulate the pressure and then have a means with which to air up st the end of the day as well.
 
I'm not sure why I didn't do this earlier but I checked the tire pressure and holy crap, they were all over the place! Anywhere from 35-44psi. Now I have nice consistent tires.

I also discovered I should probably replace the tires sooner than I wanted. There are some big chunks of tread taken out of one of the front wheels (I'm assuming from the previous owners accident). Now I just have to decide if I should go from the current 30 inch tires up to 31 or 32. And figure out what needs to happen to do that.

go down to 26psi each. As for tires, either 31 x 10.5 (32 has less selection) maybe 33 but that might warrant a gear change. Here is mine on 31 x 10.5 Goodyear Duratracs with h&r springs and puck in the front to level it out so maybe 1.5 to 2" of lift max.

I like your flat fenders with the aggressive tires my man! Can you post pics from the front, side and back when it's back down on grade?
Looks great!!! You should show it off.
Thanks! I will tomorrow in the daylight. I still need to get my 1.25" BL so I'll have the same clearance I did with my 33's, and it should look good then.

Thanks for posting that picture, it helps a lot. I actually received the Quadratec catalog today and was just looking at lifts. What's better to do to get clearance for a 31 inch tire, a suspension lift or a body lift?

Sorry if I have really rookie questions, this is all completely new to me.

Great looking Jeep by the way!
