Put a For Sale sign in it, took it back out, put it back in, took it back out.
I’m really struggling with my desire to buy a JLU, or other 4 door.
I have a pristine 2009 Tahoe as my main vehicle that sets outside the garage, and my thinking is that if I buy a JLU, it can be garaged along side mamas Grand Cherokee, and I’ll still be be able to enjoy the JLU with doors and roof panels removed during warm months.
Perhaps I think too much.

Guess I failed to mention that I have a buyer interested in the Tahoe, so it would be gone and the JLU would replace both it and the TJ.
In certain instances I like bald tires.
Installed the RockHard 4x4 rocker guards with steps. I chose these for the fact that they didn't go in-between the body and body mount and they were a gloss black where most others were textured. I am ordering black bolts for the sides to make them blend in better.
Top fully off for the first time this year!
Be careful with the finish you order. Black oxide, a very common "black" finish for fasteners is only slightly better in corrosion resistance than unplated steel. It's not really intended for outdoor use, and they will show surface rust soon after their first "wetting." It is however, a great substrate for paint, so you could paint the heads black to get significantly improved corrosion resistant.

Found @lrb6805 writeup on installing a tailgate switch after my last camping trip. I order the stuff, but hadn't had time to install. Just did on Tuesday. Easy install and works like a charm.

That may be a tough find. If you don't, the easiest way to paint bolt heads, and it's stupid easy (I do it quite frequently), is to get a used cardboard box, punch holes in it, stick the bolts in and spray the heads. The box keeps the threads clean. Spray the heads with acetone first, and the paint will adhere nicely.
We have the same style on my wife’s JKU and she loves them. They have held up well.
After replacing the VCG and cleaning a lot of the engine off, I'm now wondering if I need to replace the RMS or not.
Put new seatbelts in for the pups. I use them to keep the pups off of my lap, from under the brake pedal and off the windshield in case of a wreck.
In case of a rollover, they will most likely not make it anyway.

Almost got myself in quite a predicament.
Took the kid and dog up into the hills by home to get into the snow. While coming up the main forest road, there was some tree branches down in the road. I didn't think much of them until my front tire hit one that was buried and kicked it up. Luckily I was going slow and stopped as soon as I heard it. The front tire was still on one end and the other end had flipped up and gone through an arch in a soft brake line. The limb was against my ujoint at the pinion, a soft brake line, and the gas tank, right at the top edge of the skid. All while being pinned in place by the driver's front tire. Of course I didn't have any type of saw or anything to cut it with. I was able to ease back off a few inches at a time while hopping out to make sure it wasn't going to catch the brake line. No pictures of this as it all happened in about a minute, but a ripped brake line or punctured gas tank could've been a real damper on a 30 minute trip into the snow!

Met a new friend this morning!!! @DougyintheBushies I reached out to him about some decals for me.
Stopped by his place of business on my way to work and we probably chatted for 25 minutes. Always a pleasure to meet Jeep freaks.
Parked next to his Red TJ.
And my decals
