What did you do to your TJ today?

Replaced the rear main seal. Well, the neighbor did the majority of it, I assisted, he’s the knowledgeable one. I helped by bringing beer and an extra set of hands on the more difficult parts of the project. All the write ups and videos we watched, nobody mentioned that the exhaust had to come off in order to get the oil pan off/on. Which was fine because it led me replacing the O2 sensors on top. Bank 1/1 and bank 2/2 sensors. Replaced the rusting oil pan so I didn’t have to down the road.
This weekend, I’ll be doing the u-joints on the front axles and the front axle seals since I think I damaged one last week changing out my front hub assembly’s. Had a good little puddle of diff. oil on the garage floor a day later. That job doesn’t look terribly difficult but I’m certainly not looking forward to it. A little out of my comfort zone but luckily, there’s YouTube!

Wish me luck!

Pre paint mock up of the front bumper project I have been putting off for far too long.

Beautiful day out. Got a lot done. Engine bay and under carriage got a thorough cleaning (was still muddy and dirty despite washing last week), changed my battery over to a Champion AGM, and swapped the hard top and full doors for soft top and half’s.

Took the damaged hardtop off and put on the factory soft top. For 20 years old (was built in '99 and purchased in '99....even though it's an '00) the top is not toooo bad, but, the side windows were yellowed, drivers side zippers in bad shape, and stitching coming apart. Rear window super yellowed. In the end, I could not put on the drivers side window panel due to zipper and seam damage, so....bought replacement top (fabric only....not the mechanism) from Quadratec for the factory mechanism.
