What did you do to your TJ today?

Installed my SYE, CV Driveshaft, Rock Krawler adjustable control arms, made a new rear track bar, took my rear shocks off till I get my relocation mounts delivered.

How do you have the money for these things that I want too? You are as old as I am?!?
 
Installed a set of Drake Off-Road billet aluminum grill inserts.

I'm assuming you had to remove the whole front grill? I've looked into making my own but don't feel like take the grill apart. Looks good tho.
I didn't remove the grill. The inserts come with 2 fasteners each (top and bottom) with 2.5mm allen screws that they attach to behind the grill. For the most part it was an easy job, except for the last insert. Since there is no way to hold it in place, I used a flexible metal ruler to guide the fastener into place. Major PITA, as the insert kept falling out of place, if I only had 3 hands at that moment in time!!

This looks simple compared to an 01 Audi S4 heater core replacement. One of the reason's I sold it for my TJ and have no regrets. Talk about having patience lol


wow you work fast.... ever thought of a career in a 'chop shop' ? hehe

If you think that's bad, try the heater core on a new BMW 7 series... I'm not even kidding.
