Yes. I’m sandblasting and painting most of the brackets and trays. I’m thinking I’ll paint the engine AMC blue
What did you do to your TJ today?

I would lower the hooks so the bottom of the door sits on the hooks, and devise a way to attach the top to the studs, like one of the little simple hook and loop fasteners with a carabiner.
If you look at how those doors are made where the horizontal meets the a-pillar that is a very delicate weld on thin material.
This resurrection deserves it's on "1000 dollar TJ " thread. You have some elbow grease in that, and it shows.
Had to put the cover on the jeep. Sometimes it does rain in Phoenix
Ha still dry in Tempe, but we hear all of your thunder over here!

Changed out the plugs yesterday. No idea how long these plugs were in there, and I'm not sure what condition they're in. They look more or less ok to me, the gaps were fine, but I don't have a lot of experience so idk.
I put new NGK's in, put some anti-seize on the threads and some dielectric grease on the insulators. Final result is the Jeep seems to run a lot smoother, but it could just be in my head. It did occasionally idle rough before and I haven't noticed it since I did the plugs last night, so here's hoping thats fixed.
Cyclinder 6 had a lot of oil leakage around it from the valve cover. Guess I gotta fix that.

Changed my starter and front passenger side hub. Man, it turns over twice as fast as it ever did, and the slight shimmy I had on the highway is now gone. 
Thanks to this forum I was able to clean and replace the air control valve! Thanks guys, I'll let you know if this fixed my rough idle.
Yep, Rough idle is fixed. This first time I fixed something right the first time. Oh and Youtube helped as well.

LOL, that's too funny. At least it will be easy for me to find. I know exactly what that color looks like.
Thanks for the tip.
Oh, and I'm not sure where I'm going to mount it yet. The spare has a cover on it and the plate is obviously to one side. I may see about trying to mount it on the bumper under the spare?? I need to go check it out later and see what I can come up with.
threw my newly acquired Raingear cover on
and returned my gas cap cover to bare aluminum from black

Painted my chrome headlight surrounds black. Looks much better IMO.
My hard wire kit came so I finished the dash cam project. I ended up just using a zip tie to kind of make it a little harder to just reach in and grab.
Mounted the camera under the plate frame for now.
Even got it wired in and it works in reverse.

Had to cut my exhaust off the other week after installing my JKS track bar and angled bracket so I ordered a Dynomax Super Turbo and threw together a little turn down setup. Never ran one of these mufflers before but it’s not bad. Similar to a Magnaflow sound, slight rumble at idle and almost silent at highway speeds
Here’s my “mascot”(?)
Got it from our last exchange student, apparently it’s from a Dutch grocery store.
