What did you do to your TJ today?

Installed Smittybilt Neoprene seat covers. Look good. Hope they hold up well.

my recent front bumper swap must've yielded enough of a weight loss up front that it tweaked my pinion angle enough to usher back in some drive line vibrations so today I re-tweaked the angle to eliminate that. Every time I do this I thank GOD I didn't cheapskate out with single-adjustable upper control arms, it's so easy to loosen the jam nuts & spin the Savvy cylinders to get this thing back in line.

After losing the old bumper I think I've developed an ever so slight reverse rake

next up, repair yesterday's rear bumper damage
 
Finally got the tonneau cut and edges cleaned up. I purposely left it proud at the tailgate not knowing exactly how how much overhang would look good. It is pretty close in line with the bed on the sides. No holes have been drilled in it yet. I have a thought but not wanting to sway opinions what do y’all think about the rear overhang? It will be painted to match the body.

Removed the spare tire cover recently and saw that the carrier was rusted so I sanded and painted them today. Then I washed and waxed the tailgate. Had hoped to do the whole Jeep this weekend but got a bunch of other things done instead. Also did the five tire rotation. I gotta get rid of those stock lug nuts.

Will this be hinged? What about weatherstripping? If you're hinging this cover, have you concidered bending the overhang down about 45 deg to decrease the instance of moisture migration? Sorry, but I have questions. Nice cover by the way.

I think it needs trimmed and have no overhang, should sit on the tub with the same distance that you show on the sides. Going to look great once it's done.
 
Finally got the one car detached garage organized after the move, started this AM with the entire floor of the garage covered with stuff.

End of the day got the Jeep parked inside. 🙌🙌🙌

Not a ton of extra space but will be it's home come winter time.

I have about 7" clearance between the top of the door and the top, hopefully it will still fit once I make the jump to 35s... Going to be an additional 2" spring lift and 1" of tire... The math says I'll be fine but I'm not so sure
 
Axes will always work but I've been impressed by some of the lithium ion chainsaws folks have been bringing on the trails lately. Love the orfab carrier
It’s a great carrier glad they brought it back, it does take a bit of redneck engineering to get it on but worth the effort in the end. Amazed how sturdy it is. Looking forward to putting the Jerry cans on too!

I think it was added. It's something the previous owner did. It's nice that it's out of the way and I can still reach it if needed. Not sure how it will be effected by a winch install.
Can you post or PM me some close ups of the setup? I'd like to show them to my fabrication guy and see if he can make something similar for me. My jack is leaving rusty stains on my hood.
 
Leaky steering stabilizer replaced today. PO installed bracket on Currie Correctlink without checking clearance it appears from the groove in the old dampener. New one on and clearance is good after I rotated the bracket.
