So, over the last 2 years I've been working on my TJ. Changing out axles, installed lift, auxiliary lighting, lockers, front bumper, etc, etc. Now, each project has had it's shining moments of cussing, wishing to punch some engineer (or Corporate Accountant) in the nose, bleeding knuckles, head scratching, walking away to cool down a bit before trying to proceed with the current aggravation etc. You've all been there I'm sure. BUT, today I embarked upon a task that I wrongly thought would take maybe 10 minutes, the removal of the milk jugs from my rear bumper. I am installing some flush-mount back-up lights in the bumper and wanted to have easier access to the inside of the bumper. Surely, those torx screws wouldn't be too bad to get out. So torx screwdriver, impact driver, torx socket, air chisel, 1/2 bottle of Kroil, cut-off grinder, pry bar, big screwdriver, bottle of cooling water, and almost every single cuss word I know, I finally got them off. This was hands-down the most aggravating task I've done so far on the whole jeep. Even the top shock bolts weren't this big of a pain in the ass.
There is, I admit, a degree of damage to the jugs afterwards.
