Like you I actually was doing the tyranny lines and added the rear main seal, I may do the valve cover too just to be safe, I need to get back under there in the next day or two
What did you do to your TJ today?

Before During and After
Before During and After
A few days ago I finally got around to modifying my front bumper. Ever since I did my flat fenders I wanted to cut off the “wings” since they didn’t line up with the new fenders and just run the hoop until I buy or fabricate a new bumper. Now I just need to slightly alter the light mount tabs I previously cut off and weld them in their new locations.

Forgot to snag a picture from afar after I threw a little paint on it though.

I’ll have to give it a try. It’s amazing how easy it is to apply these new products.

Replaced old worn out steering stabilizer with new and shiny rough country one. Painted my front bumper and put on a new winch.
I washed some Jeep parts today. I asked my wife first. She said she doesn't go on the TJ Forum so I figured it was OK.

I didn’t want open ends because there was a surprising amount of rust inside the tubes already. So I cut the end pieces off the wings and welded them on. Plus it hopefully protects the Antirock a little more. I left small drain holes in the bottom just in case moisture does get in there it can breathe.
I think the label inside them says dishwasher and microwave safe. I could be wrong though.I washed some Jeep parts today. I asked my wife first. She said she doesn't go the TJ Forum so I figured it was OK.

I don't know if those ends are close enough to the Antirock to help a whole lot but just the fact that you closed the ends will make it considerably harder to crush the tube no matter what it slams into and keep it looking pretty good no matter what. Drain holes are a great idea too.
It’s sad when our rigs have to wear face masks as well...

Yes it is! But life demanded it. This project got put on the back burner for about 6 years. I had 3 children back to back to back and had such a hard time getting in and out while pregnant that my dreams had to wait. My kids are 6, 4, and 2 now so I am resurrecting my old plans and having to update and replace so much that the "masks" were a necessity as its been out of inspection for 4 years and I've already had 1 set of tires dry rot on me
. All my fault, but I am trying to make up for the neglect now (and paying for it too).

Monstaliner roll on kit. Super easy just application just a lot of meticulous prep work.
If you haven't already, I recommend bending the license plate under the bumper and bolting it to the bottom of the bumper so all 4 corners are secured.
When I first required a front license plate, I only used the top two bolts to the front of the bumper. First trip out it ripped down from one of the bolts and was hanging down at an angle. Luckily we caught or I'd have lost it on the next trail. Been fine since with all 4 bolts securing it. Recommend carriage bolts or something with a round head for the bottom two bolts but that's optional for a smoother bumper.
Good to know they line up that well.
I just put in the UCF TT. I'm 50/50 if my Skid Row is going back in or if I drop the funds for an aluminum alternative. I suspect it'll go in with a replacement on the upgrade list.
Can you share more photos. Under where it’s mounted. Do you feel these will work as rock sliders?

Well it was yesterday but I removed the rear seat to begin building a box and order new shocks.
