What did you do to your TJ today?

First sunny, non raining, non-snowing, non-snowing and raining day in a spell. Seemed like a good time to install Christmas and birthday gifts that have been accumulating. Rugged Ridge Dash Multi-mount and a Qi charger. Still need to route the charge cord so it’s hidden for the most part. Then installed the tailgate shelf my wife and son gave me for my birthday.

Where did you get the phone charger I been researching around and can't find on that fits on the ball of the bracket

Most any charger that uses a compression ring on a ball mount should work, that system seems to be fairly standard as far as sizing. This is the one I have:
VANMASS Wireless Car Charger Mount, 15W Qi Fast Charging Auto-Clamping Mount, Air Vent Phone Holder Compatible with iPhone 11/11 Pro/Pro Max/XS MAX/XS/XR/X/8, Samsung Note 10/S10/S9/S8/S7, Pixel/LG https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QH5HBZ1/?tag=wranglerorg-20
 
installed 10” powered sub, built a shelf so things could still be put in tailgate area, wrapped in carpet for concealment when top off.

finished my work in progress.
got the axles and driveshafts in last night.... about to tighten the spindle nut and realized i put the rotor dust shields on backwards and called it quits (im working in a unheated barn @ icy temps)

flipped my shields and reinstalled the new wheel bearing hubs and got the front wheels on again.

my parts order arrived from tasca today but they messed my order up and shipped 2 throwout fork springs rather than 1 and a transmission mount bushing. waiting to hear back from them so i can move the jeep to a neighbors with a heated garage to pull the trans and do the clutch job. i wasn't satisfied with tasca parts from the get go and im not happy about this order being messed up. i should have gone with my usual online parts dealer wholesalemopar.

Tailgate Table Aluminum Alloy Matte Black Rear Foldable Back Shelf For Jeep Wrangler TJ JK JKU Holding Drink,Tools https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075R75Y83/?tag=wranglerorg-20
Quality is decent, there’s zero, zip, nada and bupkis instructions for mounting and assembly, but it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure it out. The template is for JK’s, so it’s only good for getting the distance to drill between the bracket mounting holes. You’ll need a rivet nut tool. Because one of the nutserts sits inside one of the rectangular divots inside the gate leaving a gap between it and the bracket, I used a small piece of galvanized conduit filled with epoxy and then cut and drilled to fit for a spacer. You could use washers to the same effect.

Finally got the new head unit and speakers installed. Had to deal with this mess from the PO(wire harness adapters, use them, don't hack)

Head unit is an XA AVX3000 Sony and puts out very decent power. With the now back to 4x6" Polk speakers up front and the boom mat enclosures, as well as the four speaker and dual tweeter rear overhead sound bar, the sound is much fuller and crisper. May not need to go subwoofer for a while. Now I find myself lowering the volume to hear the motor lol

Cleaned everything up up front and taped over any exposed wires plus added the mic for the hands free. Easy.
