What did you do to your TJ today?

Well, it was worth a look! This is what you need, pretty much everything you need to know is here or somewhere else on stu's site. You will want to find out the wattage of those lights so you can fuse them properly.

Waiting impatiently for the adjustable TB to arrive so I can wait impatiently for the rain to stop so I can install it

Do you have a before and after pic of the fenders you could post? Have been considering the bushwhacker for a while now. Easy to do? Thanks
This is with the bushwhacker fenders installed front and rear. The smittybuilt ones looked the same except the bolts were covered. However, the bushwhacker ones are solid and the smittybuilt ones were pretty flimsy. Install was very easy. Just be careful not to over tighten them, otherwise they will crack as they expand/shrink as the temperature changes.

If all you have is blanks you most likely don't have existing wiring. It is possible that you do depending on your model. If it's a sport or an X it won't be there. I'm thinking the PO had them spliced into the headlight relay so that they came on when the headlights were turned on.

Installed a small 4 channel Kenwood amp and changed all 4 speakers to Kickers. Now it sounds a lot better but still not much low end, without a sub. But that's a future project.

Mine looked the same when I changed them this past fall. It's amazing how well it ran with those gaps. In fact, I really didn't notice any difference once I changed them.

Swapped out my Jeep stock horn for a Mazda 3 twin horn I found at a wreckers yard for cheap....just drilled and extra hole on the stock bracket, painted it with a rust kill black paint and bolted on the 2 horns on either side....some simple wiring to split the single connector into two and got it sorted...sounds much better now and all done for under a tenner. :emoji_dollar: :thumbsup:

Okay, so not to the TJ, but ancillary work that needed doing...
Today we cleaned out the carport. It is like 25x25 feet and fairly spacious, a part of the house (shared roof with an attic) and has a decent wall on the far side. Front and entry are both open. I plan to turn it into a real garage/shop in the future.
Today we hauled a ton of old jeep parts (junk, I promise) five ruined tires and 200 pounds of cement still in the bags that sat too long and got too damp and had become "yard art". Now we are headed back out to select new homes for all my TJ parts, to include both fenders, rear inner wheel well liners, driveshafts, transfer case, transmission, my Dana 30 HP project axle, my old TC skid plate and the old gas tank skid, along with two front seats for my Volvo, a set of Volvo rims and four tires of one of my Accords. Oh, and the TJ...
Once we get all the crap and the work bench and tables moved I will be pulling one of the Accords in with the TJ. First I want to reposition the TJ, which does not run right now, as the above list of parts would indicate. ;-)
Once both vehicles are in their new homes I will start looking for good storage spots for all these parts while also clearing off my work bench, which I will need all this coming week.
Oh, and it is raining.
Nice...

I am currently soaking my back floor carpet with cat litter to soak up a 1/2 quart of 10w30 that leaked into it. Will let it sit a few days in the garage and then dump it in the trash and vacuum remainder of litter up. Then a cleanup with Dawn for residue and all should be good. MUD is easy!
When I purchased a used TJ X a few years ago, the PO had pretty much abused the rear carpet in the same way. Full of oil spots, dirt, etc. What I did to restore it was take out the carpet, take it to the high-powered spray car wash, then spray it with the de-greaser. Rinse, repeat. Laid it out to dry for a few days, was almost as good as new.
