What did you do to your TJ today?

Finally got my Moryde tire carrier installed, very easy and very pleased, but what a PITA to get the old hardware off!
Ordered my Motobilt midlength front stubby bumper today.

Am I missing a piece here or is it supposed to look like this. The picture is of the bottom of a soft top from the rear.

Acquired a full set of OEM Rubicon flares, in nearly perfect condition, for free. They really just need a good cleaning/sanding and to be repainted but besides that, the only other "issues" are two very tiny chew marks from squirrels. After sanding and painting, I honestly don't even know if you'd be able to notice them. Dude was super generous to just up and give them to me so I'm due to pay it forward at some point.

Plan to either swap mine out or maybe cut them into flats and then install...

What brand are the ticket guards? Nice TJ!
I meant rocker guards....damn brain to finger synapses not firing correctly!
Thanks! They are actually EAG off of amazon. They were about $160 shipped. They are HEAVY. I am sure the powdercoat job will wear off fairly quickly, as the earlier reviews on there stated that, but I'll be the judge of that, especially since I live in the rust belt. Fitment was great, definitely worth every penny! :)
Look very similar to mine.

Yeah they do look pretty similar, looks like yours goes up slightly higher around the "Jeep" logo.
 
Usually run the Bestop Trektop safari-style during the the summer, but I got a dog a little while back and needed a way to keep said dog in without the windows in, so I picked up the Smittybilt CRES cargo net thing. I actually dig it quite a bit, and it integrates great with the Trek top. Was super cheap too, now to see how well it holds up.

Also, gave her the biannual cleaning.

Okay, well this sucked!
I did the rear track bar relocation bracket this afternoon after my son and I broke marshal law and went to get some RVT for his thermostat, but it was essential.
I didn't run into the same issues most others do. I've been spraying bolt for a week, everything was going fine until time to remove the bar from the stock bracket...had frame jacked, ratchet strapped, couldn't get closer than a quarter inch from coming out...had to pull the whole bar off, which entailed spray, fire, wire brush, impact gun w/ U-joint adapter, and a about 2 feet of extensions. What a PITA! Mainly cause I wasn't prepared for it (per instructions).
I had ZERO issues getting 1st factory bolt out, zero issues drilling (step bit), and ZERO issues re-installing.
...Oh and in the middle of it, pulled one of my 5 1/4" speaker adapters out so kid could use for a template to make his.

Everything went back together like cake, no binding. I did front adjustable a few days ago. Tomorrow is front end alignment/ re-center steering wheel, and sway bar discos (was gonna do it all today, but that damn rear bar:mad:
...oh and build a pergola over the hot tub for the wife, which I have resigned myself to climb into right now (the tub, not the wife😂)
