What did you do to your TJ today?

Yes I had a customer of mine do the logo- I’m actually at her house now returning the favor by getting her water back on those frozen
Yes sir I had a customer do them for me I really wanted it on the head rest but you have to disassemble the seat cover and I was not going to do that.
Brrrr its cold.
So did you try to get your tj over that snow pile in the background at work?
Right? They did a killer job with them. Should have taken the steering column trim off and had them dye that too. It's a bit faded and now is the sore spot in the interior.
The first thing that occurred to me was I bet that is the most durable method too- I am really impressed.
No, it's still in the shop for the transmission overhaul
But that pile isn't going anywhere anytime soon
That's what I thought when the shop said dye it, not paint. I've hit a few times with my shoe getting in and out. No problems. Damp cloth to wipe it is all that's needed.
And this shop replaced my front passenger fender and color matched the 22 year old black paint perfectly. Gives me new hope for finding half doors. Not having to worry about the door card color is a big plus.
It also sounds like you don’t have to worry about finding a paint shop- It is so nice to find somebody that knows what they’re doing these days.
Good job Mike.
I hope all you guys have a safe holiday season.
Happy Holidays to you as well.
I'm pretty fortunate with shops. I have the body/paint shop that is top notch and super fair. When I ask how much.. he says.. "don't worry, I'll take care of you". And he does.
I have another local shop that does all my maintenance at a stupid cheap prices.
And my specialty shop (Evans 4x4) that does the more specific stuff like re-gear, suspension etc.
no, you called me incompetent. You can turn it sideways and shove it up your own ass. No need to wipe it down first.
No thieves are stupid , stops them dead in their tracks. And you can catch them trying to pick the locks too.

Your track record on automatic transmissions says a lot for your competency, just be glad that your mistake didn't cost you or your friend a lot of money or possibly a transmission. You either know or you don't , and again you can Take One in the Ass as far as I'm concerned !!!!
Installed some adjustable upper and lower control arms thinking I was going to need to adjust pinion angle. Was getting some vibration in first gear. But the driveline angle is only a difference of about 2 to 2.5 degrees between the transfer case shaft and the axle.
While crawlling underneath it and I noticed the front of my new UCF oil pan skid plate was contacting the headers. I have a feeling the vibration of the engine was simply being transferred from the skid plate directly to the frame.
Lowered the front of the oil pan skid by using the upper holes instead giving me close to a half inch to three-quarter inch clearance. Hopefully that’s what was causing the vibration.
Over the next couple days I plan to install the Savvy shifter cable and track down a squeak I was hearing. I guess we could’ve also been caused by the oil pan skid touching the headers. Not looking forward to dropping the UCF oil and transfer skids. Kicking myself for not doing the savvy shifter before installing the transfer skid. Wasn’t thinking ahead.

Hope this isn’t too big a deal but didn’t wanna start a thread for a small question…
Anyone know if 03-06 rear carpet will fit an 02? Or just 97-02?
