Yes. Spooled on a bit sloppy from the winching attempt a couple of weeks ago. Didn't make much difference when it was on correctly - but I do need to respool it now...

What did you do to your TJ today?

I tried using a pair of nuts to space it up further, but that would have been too much - so I just moved it on over. Still don't know why the PO of the winch thought it was "all that and a bag of chips" to have it over the drum.
I have started the awesome adventure of replacing the heater core.

Drove it a good 45 miles to ready my EVAP sensor, only to have my o2 check engine pop up. My jeep is not destined to pass inspection.
Reminds me of a joke one of my dance sisters told me:That's what he told his wife.....
"Do you know why women can't build anything?"
She held her fingers about an inch apart and said "Because we've been told all our lives that THIS is six inches!"

Replaced the burned/partially melted headlight switch connector and the switch. Driving home with the headlights playing peekaboo a couple nights okay wasn't fun.
Somebody add lites without a relay - or pull a trailer with lites and no relay? Ask me how I know this...

No additional lights nor trailer towing. Possibly a moisture issue from a recent pop up rain shower.
When Zorba asked about the adding of lights without a relay; he meant whether someone had replaced the factory headlights with higher wattage bulbs without the use of a separate harness and relay to power the increased wattage lights.

No. About 3 years ago I swapped the stock headlamps for ARB H4 housings and Piaa Extreme White bulbs rated at 65 watts. Also replaced the stock foglights with Piaa 540 amber series lamps. From every thing I read these changes didn't require any additional relays or harnesses.
I did trim back the acoustic insulation I installed when I upgraded to Polk dash speakers years ago. That additional material may have held heat in the connector as the insulation was jammed up against it.
A melted harness plug usually indicates too much amp draw by the headlights or oxidized head light switch terminals creating heat.
That too - but I was thinking about what happened to my '87 F-250. Added cab lites, illuminated running boards, and extra lites across the back. Then pulled a fifth wheel trailer with its array of lites. The headlite switch connector ended up looking just like the one we're discussing!

At least he put it where it belongs, on the undersidePretty sure this pic violates forum rules and results in a suspension until the offense is rectified. I'll leave it to @Chris to arbitrate this....
Polished my wheels-shiny as they will get without wet sanding. Getting ready for the weekend leaf tour in Pigeon Forge.
Doesn’t anybody use the Forum guidebook anymore?Pretty sure this pic violates forum rules and results in a suspension until the offense is rectified. I'll leave it to @Chris to arbitrate this....
Man, all that work.
I like to go on Job interviews, then fire the guy when it goes bad. Then go back a couple of weeks later and get upset when the guy is still there.
They don’t stay that way when the tires go up and down. Got to have some extra rather than stress the spring.
