    What did you do to your TJ today?

    It looks good. But drive it. The 2.5 can be slow with big tires and your idea of slow may be different than this jeeps idea of slow. Next I would find a 4.0 and drive that to compare. Give yourself options. These jeeps aren’t going anywhere. Take your time

    DIY big 7 upgrade - have some info, need some info

    This was my biggest concern when buying premade battery cables. Once I found out you can get 10ft of 1gauge welding cable for 20$ or less I think I started buying all my own tools. The cables you buy at local department stores are not good imo. Not that you can’t find em. Now when I need...

    Replacing door defeat mini fuse with a mini breaker as a switch?

    I used one of these when I was diagnosing my brake lights. The 20amp kept popping intermittently. So I bought this to reset without having to use up a new 20amp fuse Worked great. Length didn’t matter and it worked for me during a 200mile road trip. I say use it. They’re super handy for diagnosis.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I’ve come to far. The more I sleep on it I realize I won’t be satisfied until it’s all the same. That was the first goal in mind. I’m either gonna re sand the whole Jeep myself and paint again or hire some work. But it’s happening.

    So I didn’t match the paint right All this work and it’s not matching. I painted these on two different weekends and I have no one to blame but myself here.
