I may have missed it before, but what is the little red light to the right of the CB?
What did you do to your TJ today?

Looks a lot less "cluttered". Nice. Old folks rule.

I took a vacation day, had an adventure & celebrated a milestone.
Sold my hard top. Another forum member @Clintj1632 drove down we loaded it on his trailer. Now it's headed to a new home!!
No the search begins for a best top trek top NX.

Sharp eye! Its a "car alarm" - or at least, hopefully someone looking in seeing the blinking LED will think so.

I'm curious about running a soft top here in Canada where it reaches -30c (-22F) where I live. Do you you find the material gets brittle in the cold before it heats up? Does the weight of the snow cause the material to permanently stretch or sag? Fortunately on the West coast it rains more then snows but does reach the low temperatures for about a month.
Not at all, although I hear horror stories of stupid people trying to roll up the rear window in below zero temps and it cracking. I left over 2' of snow on my soft top and it was fine. I work at 2am and we had a blizzard with 3' of snow that year.

Hi fellow jeepers! Just bought a 1997 TJ SE and I love it! First thing I did was replace some burnt out light bulbs, put on valve caps for the tires, and drive her around town.
Finished detailing the transmission while I wait for the engine to get finished. Next up is the T/case.
Replaced the wire loom and Dielectric grease on electrical ends. Anti seize or thread locker where required. Hand painted parts after torquing. Satin clear coat over the paint.

Yep, but it was where the road crosses upstream. It was my first time exploring in the area. I definitely want to go back.
Little bit of under carriage cleaning and spraying and checking torque values if something was off to see why I get a wobble when I hit a bump. Think my issue is tire balance.
I am wanting to head towards Colorado as soon as the transmission get reinstalled (should be Monday) so since it's setting outside anyway, I drove down and
Installed my wiring harness to the rear lights so I can tow it behind my motorcoach.
Pretty darn hot here in Texas today.

Krylon Fusion on my faded fender flares. Had my (very very active) 8 year old out with me, add my relative inexperience...I’ll be sanding them down and reapplying a coat tomorrow 
Lots of people in Quebec and Ontario run soft tops and we have pretty intense winters compared to some parts of BC. Lots of freezing rain and snow.
Finally justified the 934 OME springs and bought an 8274 to hang on the front end of this thing. Hell of a deal, and I’ll pick it up in the next day or two.
Before and after. I’ve been warned not to mess with my skid bolts until I’m ready to open up a can of worms. Figure when I do an SYE I’ll fight that battle. So I did rust work today, my frame is in pretty solid shape except for this one area. All better now!
