Well you got me there… not on the TJ yet.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Please let us know about the install and final results. I'm a big and tall guy and I'm looking to replace my seats, I am pretty sure that the Enduro Recliners are the best bet, but I'm concerned about them sitting too tall. What are these levers? and are you planning on doing anything with the seat belt mounting? I'm assuming you're using PRP's brackets?
Took the wife for her first ride in the Jeep since my new top was installed. After a 20 mile highway drive she said, "That new top is way more quiet than the old Bestop. It doesn't flap at all. I can even hear to talk on my phone now." 
Parked it and admired it after taking the long way to as many errands as I could find excuses to run with the TJ in open air mode on a gorgeous sunny, 86 degree day.

I painted some rust converter/ primer behind the rear inner fender liner where the torque box ends. I used some stuff from Xionlabs.
The paint was thick so it is much easier to apply than POR-15 or other similar products.
I hate the red color but it will all be hidden by the inner fender liner. This is a before and after the first coat. Time will tell if it works.

Ok so I’m installing revolution rear axles in my Dana 44 rubicon rear and had to fight to get the driver side race out. Here is a picture of what I found. Any suggestions? Green locktite maybe? Or just install the new one without locktite? Or?
Made more progress on my bumper and frame tie-in build, did a test fit before I paint it.
As @DaveC said, it's a nice day out. Took it for a trip around the block. Wanted to check the speedo against GPS but forgot my phone.

I third these gentlemen. Took it for a spin just to enjoy the nice weather. Also sported my half doors for the first time.
Not to be nit picky but when it comes to recovery points like shackle mounts I would like to see better weld penetration. In other words, you needed more heat. Safety first.
Inspired by a photo of a red LJ with yellow half doors, I disassembled a pair I picked up about 8 months ago. I had to sand bed liner off of one of them. Now they're off to a buddy's shop, and will be Flame Red the next time they appear here.
I put 235/75r15s ATs on my stock TJ X today. My brother (PO) was running MT 32s. Way too big. The difference is so much better in so many ways! More pep. Better ride. Turning is awesome. Best thing I've done to it since I've owned it.

I’ve never used loctite on an axle bearing race but I’ve also only done a handful of them. I usually just clean it up really good and put whatever type of lubricant that will be on / in said bearing whether it’s gear oil or bearing grease or ATF in and around the surface after cleaning to help lube it up for installation. That’s just how I roll
Nice but they'd be nicer if they were yellow.
You should paint them yellow again.
Installed the Currie steering linkage and the ProComp steering stabilizer that's been sitting in storage for a year and a half, found out my grease gun has turned to crap so I'll be getting another one tomorrow to finish it up

I’ll probably be installing the the Currie steering tomorrow, any advice or helpful video/thread links you used?

Be prepared to be covered with anti seize, no matter how careful you are that crap gets everywhere, other than that just follow the directions and you should be fine
The cattle dog is Angus, he's 14 and mildly psychotic
