What did you do to your TJ today?

Uh, that's awesome. Filter condom. Awesome idea.
New headlights, grille insert and now changing out all of the fluids
Dull Aluminum
I was trying to match the Genright Hi-fenders that have a dull/brushed finish. This Rust-Oleum dull aluminum color is too bright. Maybe too much silver. I'll take a look at what's available in a brushed nickel color. Thanks for the suggestion.

It’s awesome, a little work to get it installed but it came out great
Now you need a bike to go with it.Got a bike rack! I was bored so I checked out "Gumtree" (Aussie version of Craig's List) and somebody was selling a brand new Thurle tow hitch bike rack for $70au only a few miles from me, they cost $200au ($140 us) retail in Australia! so I took a chance on it not fitting the TJ and bought it anyway. Turns out perfect fit for us pizza cutter advocates. Bargain at $50us

You should try it with a lifted Jeep on a windy day.
Parked in in the spot that was painted NO PARKING.
You can do a remote oil filter with a relocation kit but a couple oil changes a year, a little oil to wipe up isn’t worth the trouble or cost.
Hard top and full doors went on today, I’ll leave it on till the TJ Fest and remove it there in Moab.
Dont think it will handle my fat E bike just like the bike dont handle Fat meNow you need a bike to go with it.
That is where my ozTent RV1 touring tent is going to be carried, I don't need to fit roof cross bars to the hard top now, wasnt looking forward to drilling holes in a good hard top. This carrier is really well made, on & off in seconds and folds up neat N small.
I have drilled a hole in my 6.7 filters, let em drain , and then yank em. They are vertical and still dump oil.
The insert looks great. I was going to get one for mine, but was afraid it would restrict the airflow on hot days.

removed the CB that was mounted on the dash and installed a Cobra 75 that I had. I did not like the one on the dash. Nothing wrong with the CB itself, just didn't like the location and didn't see many other options without spending some money (I am kinda tight). LOL
The new look, much better. Plus the Cobra also has weather band. Now I need to find a remote speaker for it. OR, any reason I couldn't run a cable from the remote speaker output to the aux input on the Jeep radio? Since I will never be running both at the same time.

Did a little decorating. I think I want to remove 4.0L and Sport and get a bigger version but this is a test run.
