What did you do to your TJ today?

Worked out the orange peel on the hood. Damn polisher got stuck on highest setting and I burned some clear coat :mad:

Applied new decals. One came without the decimal and I’m sporting a 40L!

New antenna

Went to change out the front sway bar struts yesterday and discovered that my ancient ball joint fork has went awol (along with a set of tire irons). So, I ended up going to Harbor Freight yesterday evening to get a new one (and tire irons) and came home with a ball joint separator that has a jack screw. We'll see how that works once I finish my morning coffee.

Mission accomplished. That separator works like a charm. The other side surrendered without having to use it. The bad link also had the lower torx bolt with a slight bend in it so I ended up replacing those with some extra grade 8 bolts I had laying around that fit.

If no one's ahead of us, we also get head of the line privileges at drive up windows too.
Don’t forget about the stares from others trying to figure out what kind of Jeep we’re driving. Can’t tell you how many times I have been asked “is that some type of custom Jeep, it looks different for some reason”.
 
I’m not the most mechanically inclined but I’m not afraid to try...when I changed my t-case fluid over the winter I bought this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BQW5LK/?tag=wranglerorg-20 after effing around for an hour + and it was the best $8 I ever spent! Not sure why I didn’t buy it before I started! Would have saved my son and me a lot of time from crawling around on the freezing concrete!

yup, its on my need to acquire list.
 
I just bought it a couple of weeks ago and it had JK wheels on it. For $250 I got a brand new spare and figured out what tire size I want.

Sweet color! Are those 32’s? For the angle of the pic if looks like your rear tire is not centered in the fender wheel. Appears to be forward of center. Are you on stock control arms?
