What did you do to your TJ today?

What did I do to the jeep today?
I woke up and took a pic of it.

Yesterday I finished getting a HP30 out of a 96 XJ. The upper control arm bolts were an absolute nightmare. Someone else had stripped them out to where the bolt head and the nuts were almost completely rounded off. Luckily I had a grinder with a cutoff wheel and was able to cut them off and use a smaller bolt laying around to punch them through. Now just gotta tear everything apart, clean it all, slowly get the parts in to make as strong as possible and repaint.

Was also able to get some wiring connectors for my pcm so that I can install cruise control in my TJ.

For $120 a HP30 and some pigtails seem like a pretty good deal.

It was merged/eliminated. 95% of the TJ and LJ are the same.
Merged into this thread?

Yeah, I know they are the same, but I knew where some stuff was in that thread. Guess I'll have to try and find them again.
 
Open/closed comparison?

I liked how mine sounded straight piped from like 3k rpm up at WOT embarrassed by it everywhere else.
When it's open you get that nice loud rumble similar to the sound from a straight pipe, when it's closed the cabin is quiet enough for a conversation without having to raise your voice. I believe it could be a lot quieter when closed if my exhaust terminated at the back, but I have a magna flow off-road pro exhaust so it ends over the axle.
