What did you do to your TJ today?

Got my second jeep into the new house... not sure which one I will have more fun with my actual TJ or this bad boy

Replaced my Pro Comp rear shocks with Black Max and took it down some pretty rough and wash boarded roads. Quite a noticable improvement. I dont think it can get much better without going to custom tuned shocks, once I get my spare tire on I think they'll be perfect.

Another reason I'm glad to live in Texas. These are the upper shock bolts.

For the price, I'm thrilled with how well these shocks ride, and are holding up! (y)
 
Largest job on the TJ to date. @mrblaine could handle it, @Squatch could handle it, @Chris probably could handle it - but I barely handled it myself:

This screw was starting to rust as this pocket holds water in certain orientations. Replaced it with a 316 stainless. Whew! It was dicey there for a bit, but I got 'er done! Even oriented the washer in the correct direction... ;)

I did the same thing with all my little trim screws and switched them to stainless just so they don't look unsightly. It's one of those little OCD things that bothers me :LOL:

Looks to me like you installed the washer wrong side up.
 
I replaced the upstream O2 sensor on the little 4.0L. It’s have a couple error codes over the last couple months. With the rear window open I noticed it was running rich. When starting it would have to turn over a few times before starting; I thought maybe a battery problem was causing that. After reading that one of the side effects of a bad upstream sensor was it ran rich I decided to replace the sensor. Now it starts up quicker. I want to now go down and top off the tank to see if I get a little better mpg’s from it too.
Was it bank 2 sensor 1? If so, what brand sensor did you use? I replaced mine with an NGK and I still have the same code. Worked fine for about 3 days. I’m thinking I need to buy OEM. Would like to know what others have experienced with the 2/1 O2 sensor.
