Rain finally let up and the temps dropped a bit so went for an evening cruise over to the lake.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Flat towed it for the first time. Worked great.
Well I installed the rear shocks, Ebrake cable brackets, tightened the rear track bar, charged the batter, washed the battery tray, installed wiper blades, replaced broken tail light lens, straightened the steering wheel some, installed the wheels and tires, took it for a drive and about died from the death wobble! Checke the front end for loose bolts, didn't find any, but it sure looks good though.

I finally got around to replacing my leaking valve cover gasket.

Installed new yellow H3 LED bulbs in my OEM foglight housings. I had some better pictures but they were corrupted some how. The attached pic doesn't do the yellow any justice.
Also clear coated my new set of Rancho 5000x shocks. Hope to get them on later this week!

Took me a month and half of Sundays, but I'm very happy with the way this turned out. Totally bomber, fastened to the tub and hopefully weatherproof. Also tight and secure - good fitment with no rattles or noise. Now the fun part - organizing and loading it up. Current plan is for recovery, tools and parts on the right, and general camp box, kitchen, etc. on the left. Also thinking about some sort of cargo net hanging from the top for soft goods, jackets and such. Who says you can't overland in a TJ?!

Installed a Hopkins trailer wiring kit. Plug and play behind the drivers side tail light, except to installing the self tapping screw for the ground wire.

Negative. I wouldn’t say anything was “scorched”. Just heated up a little bit. It was enough.
This is some nice work! May have to contract some work from you, I can ride in from Kuna for the install!

Took off the Tire Carrier, sanded and painted it... Getting ready for mounting new tires and new to me wheels later this week.
Installed an SYE into a used transfer case I got on the cheap:
Got to save my pennies for a new transfer case skid, CV driveshaft and other bits before install.

Got the JKS quicker disconnects installed and the rest of the front lift torqued down. Still need to install the new steering dampener. Mostly corrected the steering wheel post-lift-off-centered-ness. Then the rain came. Rear lift fastener torquing will have to wait.
Finally fixed the intermittent brake light on the dash. The dumb mechanic that works on my jeep (myself) trapped the E-brake sensor wire under the mount. (See attached photo).
I got tunnel vision and really spent way to much time thinking it was a real brake problem. Even though they felt fine.

What made you choose the old style long output versus the super short newer versions?
