All day Saturday from 2-11pm learned how to do a complete drum brake job...that was only for the right side rear. Thankfully it only took 3 hours to do the left on Sunday.
What did you do to your TJ today?

I just bought one as well. Hopefully we can get some more content up regarding this hood and if it’s worth it or not.
Please do. I've read reviews that it needs quite a bit of prep work, but with anything fiberglass that's true. I'm more curious about the line where it meets the fender
On saturday I replaced my factory sealed beam headlights with some KC Halogens. Had to wire brush the connectors they were so corroded.
Then on Sunday I did a job I had been putting off for awhile because of the cold weather. Replaced my left front outer steering knuckle because the PO had stripped out one of the caliper mount threads so my caliper was only being held on by one bolt and it was causing me to lose sleep at night. Only took me an hour and a half which was great got done just in time for kickoff.
*ignore my brake lines, I also removed the drop brackets I had left on when I upgraded the lines and the correct lines are waiting to be installed so I can orient the banjo bolt in the correct direction so they don't droop. Learning as I go!

Replaced a missing light cover on one of the courtesy light I purchased on Ebay.
(Based on USPS tracking, they brought it within a 100 yds of my house twice before delivering it 5 days late.)

Wheel and tire update.
First pic is what it looked like when I bought it about a month ago.
Second pic is with factory wheels and 30" tires I picked up.

Added extended front brake lines after installing a 4" lift.

They are an exact replacement for a lifted TJ, even includes the right copper washers. They fit perfectly.

Replaced the vacuum line that goes along the firewall. The old one was (not) held together with electrical tape and whistling something fierce. Also found the plug that I failed to re-plug during the heater core swap. I’ve got heat again!!
Hey now, I resemble that remark... (this was Feb 25th last year) I was riding the snowmobile today and it was only 4 degrees.Neither Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor Dark Of Night Shall Stay These Couriers From The Swift Completion Of Their Appointed Rounds.
This is the first set of boxes I deliver to on the other side of the summit...
Yep, the wooden box behind the mail boxes was the original "package lock box" and the green box on the lower left is for small packages and mail from Nov.1st to May 31st. Those "winter/spring months there is a resident that has to travel about 10 miles out to get their mail. In the summer I actually deliver to their boxes at their physical addresses.
I have nothing but respect for what you do. I am in the parcel delivery business. Something tells me GaTechTJ's postman wasn't slogging through snow drifts, though.
I guess I should have put an emoji up after the "Hey now",I have nothing but respect for what you do. I am in the parcel delivery business. Something tells me GaTechTJ's postman wasn't slogging through snow drifts, though.
I'm betting you're right... it seems like some postal delivery individuals believe it is beyond their job description to go the extra mile once in a while. I end up plowing the snow out from in front of most of the boxes on my route.. Even the ones that the county maintains the road for...

Got home from work and decided it was too warm tonight to stay home, so I went for a cruise.(top down doors off obviously)
Today I added some poly fill around my dash speakers and in my speaker pods.
It really works! Sound was noticeably better instantly.
Great cheap, if not free, mod.
