What did you do to your TJ today?

What kind of quality is the chrome plating on those grills? Easy to keep from rusting, or a constant struggle? It looks sharp on your rig. And with or without the light bar, your TJ does look nice. If asked, however, I'd opt to remove the light bar. Just my opinion, of course.
Thanks for the feedback fellas. The chrome quality seems good. Maybe not as high quality as the chrome parts on my XL1200C, but it's definitely easy to keep from rusting without too much additional/extra care. Occasionally I'll hit it with spray wax and wipe it down, but even that is probably not necessary.
Today i replaced front & rear shocks with Bilstein B6 offroad units. The OEM front's that were in there weren't in too bad shape, but I can't believe how shot the rears were. One had barely any resistance, but at least returned back to fully extended when unloaded, the other one barely made it back half way. The hardest part of the job was getting the bottom of the rear shock back in the brackets. Took a fair bit of jacking and swearing.

Debating a chrome grill?
Hope someone gets the reference lol

For as little as they cost, if I didn't like it, it's not that big a loss. Could still become a garage ornament!

Post a picture when you do. I’m strongly considering cutting my flares so I don’t have to spend $500 on the ones I want

Replaced the factory stereo and speakers.
Pioneer unit, kicker 4x6s up front and 5.25 in the sound bar. Soooooo much clearer

Previous owner sprayed the flares with bed liner. Also sprayed the lower part of the hood. I tried to get it off and couldn't, so I covered it up. What you think?
That's doing the best with what you have to work with....I actually like it.

Looks really nice.
Curious why the previous owner didn’t remove the flares to prevent overspray.
Lining is coming up next. Bought some U-pol raptor. Gonna do the interior and flares. Rolling, so no overspray. We’ll see how it goes.

Is that paint or a sticker/decal? Either way, it looks great and is definitely a job well done! Gives it a really cool old-school retro look, kinda reminds me of these, which I like and may install on mine:
