Got the (modified) Tekonsha trailer harness installed on the Jeep. This makes the trailer wiring "done-done". Didn't even need to change the flasher as the trailer's LED lites don't add enough load to make the thing hyper flash.
What did you do to your TJ today?

The aftermath of dropping a transmission. (Plus some other sockets I hadn’t put away from the last job).
Oh man - that gives me heart palpitations…
Added some Amazon grab bars to help get my short self into the Jeep. Also made the appointment to get gears and lockers installed. My OCD is still struggling with going to 4.56 gears or 4.88s. 5 speed/231/33" tires (today) GrimJeeper says at 70 MPH cruising speed with 4.56 is 2535 RPM. 4.88s are 2713 RPM. So roughly a 180 RPM difference. I lean toward 4.88's being in the mountains of N ID and kinda want to give myself some gearing room if I ever get to flirt with going to 35" tires.
But you can't deny how awesome that gold patina is on those fenders.
Go 4.88 you won't regret it.
do you daily, or chasing MPG in you considerations- I would lean 4:56.
If your going lockers cause you like to get into the technical stuff 4:88 for sure

Was removing the throttle body today to do some cleaning. When I took the off the Idle Air Control housing the gasket crumbled. Of course you can't hardly find some of these old gaskets anywhere. So I ran to the auto parts store for some material. With a little time and some free software I drew up some gaskets and cut them on my laser. (You could alway use the wife's cricut, lol.) Any how they turned out great. Should have taken pics of the parts after they were cleaned. Oh well I am new to posting.
Would a "Cricut" deliver the same quality cut as the laser,im assuming it wont be as good cut quality since you cant knock a laser but im curious on buying one of them cricut setups

No telling? I had a fella tell me he used a circuit. I happen to have a laser and I am always looking for ways to put it to more good uses.
New double DIN, rear view camera and heated seats -
I had a false conception of how hard this was- went great.
An oscillating multitool is the key to cutting the middle spreader with no danger to the wiring harness.
Crutchfield makes it easy.
Heated seats from amazon, camera came from Walmart.
This TJR is pretty complete.
