I took the jeep to run errands today and ended up with a radiator leak. So tonight I ordered parts and watched videos on how to remove and install them 
What did you do to your TJ today?

Against my better judgment, Iām cleaning up this Warn bumper/carrier that I got for $100 last year so I can mount it on my TJ. It was pretty crusty from the PO leaving it outside for over a year, but it should turn out nice. With the carrier on it weighs right at 80lbs. Not bad, but it leaves me wondering what a MORryde and a decent hitch bumper weighs combined. Am I really adding THAT much extra weight with this setup?

I just pulled off my body armor bumper and it weighed 108lbs.

Not sure I'm happy with how this looks. But since I drive in 2 states that require a front plate, I don't see a lot of options.
Almost makes me wish I had cable and roller fairlead and then I do the flashlight brackets..........naaaah

Had an issue with the Jeep pulling to the left when accelerating, pulling to the right when decelerating. Ordered core 4x4 control arms, installed them today, problem solved.
Yes, yes I have! No damned fun!
I have actually run into the same issue with about the same time frame and have learned to just go ahead and apply the clear coat the same day, just like another coat of the base.
I tend to put paint on a bit thick so I know it's going to take weeks to fully dry anyway.
Drove it to work and enjoyed the warm open air
Found a strap that wasn't connected to anything on my jeep in the engine compartment.. Quick search on this forum and I found a picture of where it was supposed to connect. Quick easy fix.
Awesome website!

Bought six ton jack stands and started contemplating my Currie spring and Core 4x4 track bar swap. Probably wont get it done until next week at the soonest. Sons turning 21 this week, I'm turning 40 next week. Busy around here with planning parties and stuff.
I did install some cheap Amazon Sunpie headlights to replace the garbage sealed beam OE units. Night and day difference, no pun intended. OE headlights are like candles compared to the cheap LEDs. I'll be roasting retinas now! I did adjust them down a little, but damn are they brighter.

Be aware while they are plug and play for the Jeep (no adapter or can-bus needed) I did need to remove some material in the headlight bucket with a dremel to get them to seat all the way. Just some plastic trimming, nothing major if you have the tools.
Finally made some brackets? Tabs? The red things.....to hold my axe and shovel to the rear tire carrier.
Check out the cool dingo with the Detroit locker bandanna.

Replaced a battery. Good times.
I hope to drive it to work tomorrow but am nervous as what if there is a pop up shower.
