What did you do to your TJ today?

I feel like we should get a "What's you're most backwoods trail (or road) repair?" thread going.
Maybe we all could learn from each others (mis)adventures?
Well I can do one better...I have a whole YT video of bodging my fuel pump back into shape on the Rubicon.

I never really appreciated a good ratchet strap until I met up with this group here. When I replaced my rear trackbar, upon re-assembly everything was out of kilter. "What would the boys on the forum do?" - "Ratchet Straps!". Worked great!
I don't because I didn't do the installation. That was done by Billy Johnson Differentials.
Looking like one of the "cooks" leaving RVs around your woods.
Sounds like a trip to McMaster Carr is in order.
This is good information to have although a little puzzling. When my stock Rubicon rear locker failed I replaced it with an Eaton e locker, very happy with it. I reused the stock ring and pinion, put on 5k miles or so and then regeared to 4.88 with a Revolution gear set. Into that about 2500 miles. Knock on wood, no issues with either gear set. Correct torque and red Locktite on the bolts that were supplied with the ring gear set or on the stock gear I used a set of bolts from eBay. At least I have an idea where to look of any unusual noises pop up.
This weekend my daughters Jeep got all the love. I upgraded the radio and replaced a broken flare. I still need to go back and replace the 3 nutserts. Everything else is buttoned up.

Well I figured out my “thud thud thud” issue while coasting, my driver side rear tire had loose lug nuts…. PO must not have torqued them down.
Not a huge waste of time, prefer to do a diff oil change anyway.

Keep a close eye on the socket for the winch controller. I've had 2 of them corrode so far. Even with a cover on it

We had a SFC that looked and sounded like Obama, so every time he gave an order or called for us, we would say "Yes Mr President". He HATED us for it.
