What did you do to your TJ today?

Less than a month after finally finding my no start issue from burnt downstream o2 sensor wire, I ran into another no start with the starter just clicking. I charged the battery, which wasnt dead, and still wouldnt start. Pulled the starter and used a spare battery to bench test it and it worked. Put it back in, no start. Jumped the starter with some alligator clips to bypass the ignition wire and it gave a very slow crank. Swapped in a spare battery for my truck and it fired right up. So looks like my 6 year old odyssey extreme battery has given up on me. Gonna try repair mode on my noco 5 charger but I imagine I'll be getting a new battery.
 

I just have 2. They make it quieter.

Didn't take any pics or vids, but decided to clean out the frame. Hooked up the sewer jetter I bought two years ago and never took out of the box and fired up the pressure washer. I'm now convinced the sewer jetter is the only way to do this job. Used a rotating head nozzle and it sounded like a jet engine firing up.

It definitely blew out a lot more junk than the plain ol' water hose could muster back when I first bought the jeep. In fact, it took care of a couple of wasp nests that I could never figure out how to pull out of there 😂. I definitely need to give the frame some attention soon, just need to decide how I want to go about it.
 
420/469. I want a Hurricane in my LJ! It’s incredibly smooth. Jeep needs to borrow it from the family parts bin!

It’s smooth because the 8HP75 transmission is flat out amazing.

I’ve written about how smooth my buddy’s Ram with a 5.7 Hemi feels (395/410). You have even more power and also get the amazing feeling of the turbo kicking in. Love it! ☺️
 
I drove my TJ to park it at my brother's house. I noticed a front turn signal wasn't working, so I put my flashers on when I pulled over. They wouldn't shut off! Lost my temper a little bit and broke off the hazard button. 🤬 Luckily, I had a spare multifunction switch. 10 minutes later all was well again. :cool:

My 2020 Ram 1500, Hemi, has the ZF 8HP75 8-speed automatic transmission. It's the smoothest shifting automatic I've even owned or driven. Shifts are barely perceptible and it's a workhorse!
