Took it for a long drive mostly 70MPH, first long drive, no shakes wobbles or engine noises,1st time I have used 6th gear temp was over 100 today used A/C earlier but windows down later, no real road noise, totally forgot I had cruise control lol
Noticed when I got home the left front inside tire has some wear! Didnt notice it before possibly because of the export bumper end caps being so low compared to the US Jugs I fitted.

Hoist and soft top day! Installed the Harken Hoister and popped the top off...then got the top of my new Bestop Trektop fitted.

What in the unholy fudge did you do to the front of... that breaker box?! was that last sticker necessary?!
of course it is since we can't win a damn game this year...
So many TNers on this forum makes me happy but my Jeep sits on jack stands.
Had the same P0303 code a week or so ago that went away. Figured I’d replace the old, nasty heat shield that was mostly deteriorated.
Waiting on parts...I just installed my SSYE and so I have to order a new driveshaft. Also waiting for track bar and shock relocation brackets to come in the mail. Also got to order this bushing piece for the body side bracket for the TC linkage. One broke when I took off the linkage drop bracket.
As an aside, this is the first time disassembling the TC. Is there a way to be sure I put it back together correctly before driving it?
I did all four shocks last weekend, and saw my front sway bar end links were dry and cracked.
This weekend I replaced them with Moog end links and replaced the original steering damper with a Monroe unit:
While taking "after shots" I guess I shifted position slightly and on reviewing the pics, realized I had two shots that made a good 3D gif:

Added and extra cup holder today.....ok and yes it holds my phone too !! lol
Bought on Amazon for left-hand drives..(couldn't find one for the right-hand drives) Anyway I was sure with some fiddling, tweaking and a BFH, I persuaded it too work..
Painted the back side to match the center and the job was done.

The Gun-metal pearl on the center of the dashboard looks really good.
Your garage walls look to be leaning toward an American theme. The Hula Girl too but I bet she's Made in china, not your fault, I think they all are made there now
Also yesterday, I added Bluetooth-capability to my OEM radio (see post #8):

Took an easy trail out to Whale’s Eye and Tower Arches.
I think it leveled really well but there are some areas where you may see some brush strokes but that may be my fault for going back over it after it started to set up. You can always use foam brushes instead of regular brushes to avoid any possibility of brush strokes. Those are equally as cheap as the chip brushes.
Spent the weekend re-painting my stocker bumper to match the winch plate I got, and replace the big bumper I bought back in December. I've had it for 3 months and it already feels too gaudy for me, oops. Hopefully the bumper/plate don't look out of place in gloss black...
I also drilled some drain holes in the frame, 1/2" holes like 1.5" behind the front LCA mounts. Sprayed it out at the car wash and there was A LOT of crap that came out, so that's satisfying. I wonder how much effort you Colorado jeepers put into rust prevention - wonder if it's worth picking up a boroscope to check out the inside of the frame (jeep has always lived in CO) or if it's not much of an issue out here.

Bluetooth borescopes are pretty cheap on Amazon, I'm planning on getting one sooner or later
Also was looking at one of there for keeping the frame's innards sparkly
