What did you do to your TJ today?

After a week of stops and starts, I finally got everthing put together and we are a 2 car family again. So I'm cleaning the garage and putting stuff away. I'll rotate the axle tomorrow and measure for the new driveshaft.

Why didn’t you fill the glass?

Got the mounts fixed on the passenger side. Now to the driver side which should go much easier as I only have to replace 2 of the three mid mounts and I gained some experience figuring out do's and don't's. As for the rear most mounts, I made a "nut" 2.25x2.25x 3/8"(for both sides) that goes in the hole that I had to cut to get to it.

Yeah I know the welds look like shit but I'm pretty happy how it turned out using a 90 amp HF flux core welder. Learned some things about welding too.

New washer pump arrived from Amazon today hopefully will get this fitted tonight and fix the ‘ windshield no squirt’ problem.

And fixed …. Yesssss 🥳
I used the original rubber seal as the one that came in the pack wasn’t that tight.

I took mine out to pound some pavement. After moving to Illinois in September I have managed to only drive the TJ about 1100 miles since August!

Illinois winters 6 months out of the year will do that to you. I finally escaped from that communist country 5 years ago. Make sure you keep the salt off. That Jeep will disintegrate before your very eyes.

Ps idk about out in rural mahomet but county or the occasional surprise state trooper might hassle you for no front plate if you're registered in Illinois.

Yeah, I try to not drive it if there has been any salt recently. I have the plate in my Jeep, I can buy a shackle mount, just haven’t done it yet. I hate the 2 plate law here.
