What did you do to your TJ today?

There were boomers and dark clouds in the distance yesterday. I checked the Doppler to see which way the storm front was moving. It looked like you guys North of us received quite a bit of rain...
Here is Jacksonville the weather can change from hot and sunny to dark clouds, boomers and heavy rain within 30 minutes. I try to mindful of whether I left the windows open for exactly the reason you show in your pictures.

The issue with the bolt on the bracket. Didn’t want to clutter this thread with specifics, so started another one.
Finally ordered a lift kit. Went with a Zone 4". Been spraying kroil creep on the upper rear shock bolts for months now. Guess we will see how it goes.
Shined it up and waxed over and around the new hood decals. I also got all of the tiny air bubbles out of them.

Awfully presumptuous of you to assign the pup ‘he’ status, may I assume you’ve arrogantly done that because it has a penis rather than asking the animal?Good thing he’s not easily triggered, but thank you!View attachment 266134

I only have the one cat that runs above the skid, but no I didn't need to remove it. I also don't have a muffler so I can't say what needs to be done in that regard.
Got the Savvy transfer case shifter installed.
Wow what a difference and took less than an hour

Installed my trail mirrors so I can again drive legally in the road.. not that I was bothered in the 2 weeks I drove without any mirrors. My other car attracts police I don’t want this one to catch their attention too…it’s a Jeep, it’s slow they should never bother me . Finally added my beachy decals I got 2 months ago, and ordered my hood decals. Washed her and the Diva and of course then got caught in the rain naked again … oh well it happens I just laugh and keep going. Oh yeah and my CEL came in P0455…103 miles after filling my gas tank…gas cap? Maybe we’ll find out soon.

T case shift cable is in!! The stock linkage fell apart when I was in Wyoming over the 4th. The cable is so much smoother and the engagement is positive.
When trying to loosen the shock bolts I usually tighten slightly, loosen slightly, tighten, loosen and continue with this sequence until the bolt can be turned freely a complete turn or two in each direction to ensure the threads clear themselves of rust debris so they don't bind up and snap off.
Vacuumed the interior and topped fluids. She's driving like a dream
The “vent” on the 32RH is just a hole at the front of the trans, inside the bell housing. There’s no tube coming out of the top, unless the internet has lied to me.

Pulled the doors off and put the first serious miles on it since the the refresh, 250+ this weekend. There were no leaks or vibrations and the Jeep drives and rides exactly like I wanted it to. Having gotten used to the Antirock on my LJ, driving with the Swayloc is nothing short of amazing on the road. The ride, with the combination of H&R springs, Savvy arms, and BlackMax shocks is honestly the best of any Jeep I've put together.
While stopping several times along my travels, people came over and started chatting with me about the Jeep. Asking questions, or just making general comments about the condition. In a dozen or more people, multiple mentioned the "shiny" arms, "sweet" bumper, "nice" tires/wheels, but not one said anything about the more notable lockout hubs. This is consistent with my LJ, which has the large Warn hubs on it. The lockout hubs are an obvious modification, but only if you know what you're looking at. Most don't.

You seem to like this one better. I want your other Jeep after your typical cleaning. Amazing Jeeps.Pulled the doors off and put the first serious miles on it since the the refresh, 250+ this weekend.

p.s. My brother garage kept his Jeeps, never drove them offroad or even in the rain and even washed underneath with a sponge. Yours are cleaner!!! It amazes me every time I see pics from underneath them. Great job on both!
Don't tell my LJ, but driving the TJ is pure joy. It turns sharply, stops quickly, rides better than I imagined it would, and looks good too. Of course, as you know, getting to that level requires commitment, in the form of time, money, and effort. As @mrblaine said, most will never know or appreciate the amount of thought and work that went into it. However, I do, and it was selfishly built by me, for me!You seem to like this one better. I want your other Jeep after your typical cleaning. Amazing Jeeps.
