What did you do to your TJ today?

Wow that looks great. I'm assuming that's the carbon steel 3/16" thick version, how much does it weigh compared to stock? Also, did you have to do any other modifications besides SYE and body lift, like anything to the exhaust?
It weighs 54 lb.
I already had my SYE and DC shaft
Did the BL and 1”mml
Exhaust I had to adjust it a little it but I also had installed a MBRP cat back awhile back

Finished up the CB installation. Well, almost. 1 or 2 little things left. Had a couple 4' antennas laying around from a motorcycle project. Wilson Flex and a Firestik. Knew before I tried it, but wanted to run the Wilson for super flex ability. Horrible SWR though, just like when it was on the bike. Didn't even finish trying to tune it, as I knew it wouldn't go down below 2.5 or higher on 1 and 40. Swapped it with the Firestik and instant below 1.5, got it to 1.3-ish on 1 and 40 and 1.1 on 20. Again, just like when it was on the bike. May swap it down the road for a 2' or 3'.

Man is it hot out there.
 
Changed the oil early this morning and switched to a different filter from the parts store brand stock shorty type that was on there. I like having the larger filters on my engines. This Baldwin is for '70s Ford V8. Nice fit on the 4.0. It takes an extra half quart to fill it now. Not that that's a bad thing.

Afterwards, I put the top back up as I got a bit sunburned yesterday and did another trip to Jackson with "portable shade". It seems like it likes about 60mph best on the highway. And I'd forgot how noisy the top gets. Had to crank the stereo up just to hear it.

I have the same exact ones on mine. I like those better than the ones that came on the TJs. Its reminds me of the YJs tow hooks. For me, YJs are the reason I fell in love with Jeeps. So, that is my little nod to YJs on my TJ.
In general, I like them. In my case, I had to switch them since the factory ones wouldn’t fit with my winch plate and fog lights.
