What did you do to your TJ today?

Getting the frame ready for a few patches and to bring the stock skid plate up until mid summer when I get to do the SYE and tuck.

they had started to sag some and the tops were nasty looking and the paint was peeling so did the tops and the bottoms, and windshield all at the same time so that they matched in black, but had a bitch of a time getting this one out the torq Jeep used on these vehicles are terrible as most have come to find out.

I have A mirror relocation bracket that is stuck on the side of my driver side that I’m horrified to try and drill out as well. It looks awful and is just going to create a rusty mess if I don’t take care of it.

It really does look much better without that big light bar above the windshield. I’ve never had one of those or any A-pillar lights. I’ve heard that they can cause a glare on your hood.
My light bar set up looks similar to yours. I’ve got a KC Highlights 20” LED bar with combo spot/flood beams that works great. If I were starting from scratch I would probably get a smaller bar, but this one came off of an F-350 that I sold. I’m getting used to it & it works great.
I don’t do much wheeling at night either, but I do spend a lot of time volunteering at a Texas state park where there are a lot of deer & feral hogs on the roads at night. The lights have enabled me to see them & avoid bad problems.
By the way , I’ve also got Pro Comp 7” LED headlights.

I went to takeoff my spotters by the windshield and it’s left a very visible outline where the bracket was. I decided to leave them on for now. Do you like the headlights? I don’t feel like they do a very good job lighting up the road
 
I removed the soft top and hardware, removed the back seat and cargo area carpet, and then washed the cargo area. Tomorrow I'll do some more interior cleaning and then install the Bedrug carpet in the back. I'm thinking of washing and hosing off the back seat and setting it in the sun to dry before reinstalling it. I don't think that would hurt it? I want to get the interior as clean as possible before installing the new Trektop NX.

Mine is Black under the rear carpet on my Black TJ so I qualify as "same for same" without having to cleaning it first :)

Went wheeling in the tight trees trails up here in the PNW. A tree must have jumped out and bit me!

Ordered up some pillar armor. Should have know better from my previous jeep...

I need those too. How well do they conform to the windshield frame? The radius changes from bottom to top. I haven't seem a photo of them mounted.
