Changed out motor mounts and installed the correct speedo gear for the new tires. Motor mounts were a !@#$%! 
My UCF extra clearance aluminum skid plate finally arrived after ordering it on Cyber Monday. Some before and after pics. So much lighter than the heavy steel shovel too.

Talk about neat and clean!! What was the weight difference between the two? This looks like a great alternative. How tall is the lift on the vehicle currently if any?

Thanks man. The aluminum skid was tagged at 24 lbs on the shipping label. If I had to guess, the stock skid feels like double that. Close to 50 if not 50 lbs.
I’m on 2” bds springs with a 3/4” spacer up front. 1.25” savvy body lift.
Today I checked the tranny fluid. I noticed my leak is getting a bit bigger. The level was fine but tomorrow we are going to take it to the car wash to degrease the motor. Little nervous doing that, but hubby will be driving his tow truck over there to help me degrease it, so if it breaks down for some reason, we can tow it home. LOL
When I changed my oil yesterday I noticed it leaking on the control arm (I think that is what this is in the pic).
I can also see it on the firewall. That is where I think it is running down and dropping on the arm.
Here is where it is coming from. I tried tightening the clamp shortly after I got the Jeep last Jan., it worked for a while but I think it is time to replace the hose. (The clamp is just out of view in this pic.)

In line at the DMV for new tags. Actually I'm going next door for a beer till my place in line is a bit closer.
My valve cover grommets have been leaking since I bought the jeep, but I never bothered replacing them because I wash the engine enough to keep the oil at bay. Took 20 minutes yesterday to fix that.
Looks like you need a new vent hose. That one looks pretty sad.
Celebrated 1yr anniversary of tj ownership this month. 12/15

So I get to the point that I can talk to someone. My 02 is due for emissions this year. And the DMV is doing away with emissions in 3 days. For good. Guess I'll wait till next week to renew mine.
The 15 bucks isn't a big deal. But the Jeep doesn't have a catalytic converter on it so I don't have any idea if it would even pass.
As long as it's not throwing a code it should go through. But you're right to wait. No emissions station open after 22/31. I had to get tags for my Dakota mid month so I went ahead and spent the 15 for a test.

Got a winch for Christmas and installed today. Used a very heavy plate that I bought used. Had to shim it up about 1/8" to clear the sway bar bushing screws or I would have had to notch it.

I replaced the speakers with Polk speakers, put in some floor mats that fit, added a velcro handle for my wife to get in, and put on a front bumper. I was looking at different styles and my wife just bought one for Christmas.
I need to figure out the lights, I'm storing those on there for now. They aren't connected since the wires don't reach. The hardest part was trimming up the plastic piece in back.
I got these as a present too. I need to collect some misc parts and new shocks before getting to this project.

Been working with my daughter on her jeep. We removed all the interior yesterday and then today sanded and put the first coat of Herculiner on.
Looking good so far!

Dry fit Genright tank for marking drill locations...then removed tank and decided to continue with removing the shocks and springs. Cycled the suspension and found im a little off. Figure while I have everything out and waiting on new springs, I'll clean things up a bit. Then bought a Dana 60 so waiting on that too.
Went wheeling with a great group of people.
