Full doors and 3 piece “half cab” on for winter. Seat heaters and heater keep me surprisingly warm even when temps get low.
What did you do to your TJ today?

You definitely better get plenty of going together and all together before first drive pics.
Cause I definitely don't see that staying that pretty for long unless it's being built to crawl local mall. And whats amazing is the way that paint makes that rusty/rotted out west coast frame look damn almost new. I'd dip my onion rings right in some ketchup off that cross member. Gotta be a new rust back to metal product.BUT... looks damn good so far.

Hard to believe the Jeep is that small. Every time I see your from a back shot like this it reminds me of one of those little Shriner's trucks they drive around in parades. I guess I see 2 of those big guys off the Minions I think it is crammed up in that lil cab.

Yesterday I took off the doors and windows and drove down to central Kentucky to check out the Buffalo Trace distillery.
Today, I changed out the front and rear diff oil then installed new recovery points on the rear since I didn't have anything back there.

Gave her a bath and did routine frame flush.
Well if helps, the original frame was East Coast. I literally took the grinder to it and cut it in sections and then took it to recycle. The new West Coast frame was powder coated. It will definitely hit the trails and not stay pretty. But, I will have pictures to show how it started.You definitely better get plenty of going together and all together before first drive pics.

I replaced the Tj plastic plate holder with a s/s Cj plate holder that fits under the turn signal, I did have to open up the large hole in the bracket to get the light connection to pass through. I’m going to have the 4 old plate holes in the body plugged and leveled out when I have Ripley painted.
LOL, Yah, now you made me even more curious.
Ok, I went out and tried pulling on it. It jiggles a bit but does not pull out. I was able to get my fingers around to the front a tad and I can feel wires coming out the other side. Other then that, it is going to have to wait till I pull the driver seat out again, that way I can lay down and look up instead of trying to be like a pretzel with my feet on the ground and my head turning like an owl. LOL
I went out and won best TJ/LJ at the show and shine
It looks like from your pics that the mystery box is on the drivers side. If you remove the 4 screws from the lower panel you should be able to access the unit.
Well.....we need to see a picture of your Jeep that won that fine trophy....
Never mind....I just saw it on the thread you started. Nice!!
Installed 4 hole injectors and injector heat shielding from K suspension...Love it so far, figured I would share the process! Cheers!
Put the half doors on the shelf and the full doors are back on the Jeep. The top is still down for a few more weeks.
I have been getting a clicking noise from the back end. After checking the various joints and boots, etc., I figured it might be the parking brake shoes loose in the drum and rattling around.
Lo and behold, that was it. The job only required $35 and 2 beers, and now there is ZERO clicking. Huzzah!

Fixed my glove box rattle. LOL
Also got this guy! Just a little Halloween fun! LOL

Ok, went out and took the cover off and I can see the whole thing, pretty much. I just can't see where the wires go once they go higher up in the column.
I did find this plug that wasn't plugged into anything that goes into the harness, but can't say what it goes to? It looks factory though?
Main thing is the Jeep starts so, I'm just going to leave well enough alone. LOL
The savvy skid is incredibly tight fitting. There may be dirt, yes, but not near as much as what the oe skid can hold
