Installed my stubbified front bumper.
At least go sit in it for 5min.Nothing, I have done nothing to my TJ in over a week. Haven’t even driven it as life has been stupid busy. I also got to see my bookface feed completely lit up with Smoky Mountain Jeep invasion pictures all weekend; 50 minutes away and I didn’t make it. Tomorrow is a new day, hoping to at least drive it, haven’t been on the forum daily, so I have saved quite a bit of money!
Have no fear we enjoyed the Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion!!!!!!!Nothing, I have done nothing to my TJ in over a week. Haven’t even driven it as life has been stupid busy.

If you're going to wheel this, I'd cut that tailpipe off just before the frame. It's a prime candidate to get smashed when you drop off something.Finished raising the tailpipe,tummy tuck is done finally!View attachment 274272

I’ve always heard its for balancing.Sometimes the best tools are the ones you make yourself:

The fan was not "stuck", but it was "stuck enough" to where the pulley wouldn't hold still from belt tension. I would have bought a tool like this local, but as is the ever-ongoing problem with brick and mortar; nobody had one. And they're expensive, so rather than order and wait on one, I hacked this one out of some angle I had lying about. Once the tool was made, the fan spun off without any drama whatsoever. In any event, the necessary hoses are off the old WP, the serpentine belt has been partially removed, and only the WP pulley needs to come off before I unbolt it the pump itself. WP pulley seems to be stuck on too, but I was out of time for the day so I didn't try very hard to get it off. Had to Henna my hair, which takes 6 hours.
BTW, what's up with this pop rivet in the fan blade?:

Something to do with balancing the fan at the factory, or some PO baloney?
This reminds me of something my late father was fond of saying:
A tool...
In the hands of a fool...
Becomes not a tool...
But a duel!
Between the fool, and the tool.
Yea, I've "dueled" with tools a few times - I usually lose...
That's way cuter than what I saw today. Some ravens eating a racoon head. Full head neck up no body anywhere.Wait - You have a heart ???
Oh I know,gonna have to do it,but just getting all the hangers cut and shortened,and converter bypassed is a big thing finishedIf you're going to wheel this, I'd cut that tailpipe off just before the frame. It's a prime candidate to get smashed when you drop off something.
