To stave off any Nancey's, did you find out the red vs white in North London?
Shit, I was staying in public housing with friends next to the "Arsenal" stadium and thought it was cool. Looked it up in the internet a few minutes ago and it told me Emerites or some shit. Don't know the details, hope I didn't offend. I'm Galaxy all the way so fuck those guys. Still was cool to see it when I was there.
What I planned on being a couple hour upgrade, turned into most of two days of work. Just the normal stuff of rusted bolts, spinning nutzerts and the like. Got the B&M shifter installed between breaks in the A/C.
This always seems to be the case for me. So much so that I no longer give my wife a time, when she asks how long that work will take.

I have gotten used to the A/C in this rig while driving it daily. The more involved projects, I aint been skeerd to outsource the work. Bad part is, all the big jobs have been done. Still have the tummy tuck to do but we have a good crew out here if help is needed.
The TT isn't difficult. The only part that is a pain is making the exhaust fit properly between the right rear shock and track bar. Generally, this requires cutting and moving the two rear hangars (on the tail pipe side). You may also have to cut the tail pipe itself, and possibly the muffler, so you can move and twist them slightly. I've used a combination of lap and butt joint clamps to secure the exhaust connections. This makes adjustments and removal super easy.
These are the style I'm referring to, but you'd need to verify your exhaust pipe size. If you haven't done it already, you may need to shorten the pipe in the rear, so it doesn't get crushed between the rear bumper and a rock. I'm guessing you've already done that though!

I believe it was first sold in Colorado.
Score! Perfect timing logging on here. A forum member posted this up for sale. Now I'll have a better forehead when I headbutt rocks.
Packed extremely well but the box took many hits. Man, if the box could talk it would have a great story to tell.

Another bolt-on project done. Thought I was going to need to pull the bumper. Figured out just to take all the bolts out except the passenger rear bolt and swung it out to get the bolts on underneath the bumper.
Have a Lube locker on order. Never have tried one before. This will be a fun clean up of the RTV I slathered on there. Then I'll put the Barnett cover on.

9-10-22 First trip of the year. Ran around Sedona guided by @Jamison C . Weather was forecast to be overcast with a chance of rain. Ended up being partly cloudy and hot. Sure was fun. First time I was the big Jeep.
Biggest takeaway was how I struggled less now being on 35" tyres. No longer were my bits and bobs hitting everything. Had one obstacle that challenged Jamison while I walked right over it.
The blood and treasure spent was worth it.

Many will say no but I think that I have spent long enough on 31's to have learned where to place my tyres.
I tried to stay in 2WD on the powerline road, but I got humbled. The hill with the shelf at the top laughed at me and said, not today peasant.
Still have a pile of bolt-on parts in the garage to install. Have gone looking on youboob on how to install a A/C unit out there. Anythang to knock the edge off the heat and expand the months I can do work out there myself.
Seat Time Seat Time Seat Time to continue gaining experience.

FYI everyone, this is the same ledge that my Jeep took some effort getting over. Chris walked up this thing no problem.
Something got done to the Jeep today.
The Purple TJ guy got to work pulling the axle to make it easier to cut off the old bent up factory lower control arm mounts.
I found out firsthand how mush grinding stinks.
Yummy new mounts.
Boxed in the passenger side upper mount.
Currie mini-skids boxed in the lower mounts.
Between the finger pointing and the drinking of his beer, I did the hard part and mounted the engine skid to the factory TC skid.
Where's The Beef?!!! Also we added the Barnett diff cover and the BMB Big 'ol Beefy Tie Rod.
Massive Thank You to Mr. Purple TJ dude. Without all his beer and the comfy chair he provided me, I could not have got this done.

I need to find a Purple TJ dude of my own. I like beer and chairs too.
The phrase, not all heroes wear capes comes to mind. He also had some great beer stocked up for me.
Video posted. I can see me in a few shots. At 7:14 I am going over a spot I would always bypass when on the 31" tryes. This build with the 35's is awesome.
