Installed new gas struts on the rear glass of the hard top.
Took me longer to find a small blade screw driver than it did to swap them.

Did exactly the same thing. Pretty sure my neighbor's children learned some new words that dayYesterday: Lots of cussing while trying to get a wrench on the top nut of stock transfer case shifter in order to install Savvy shifter.
Today: Went to replace the manual transmission shift boot and here is that fucking nut staring at me.

New ball joints, steering knuckles, and hub assemblies.
128k miles. Excessive wear on brake pad bottom mount due to lack of maintenance. Need to keep that area lubed. Driver side tie rod mount was worn to where I couldn't get a 35ft lb torque on the tie rod. Actually bottomed out the nut.What brought on the need for new knuckles? It killed me to not clean & paint mine when I had them off earlier this week, seeing yours is not helping my attitude on the topic.
To add to this...Jeep is mostly back together, but something I’ve been meaning to do is hit the multifunction stalks and CC buttons with clear coat. Whenever I clean them I can see some of the paint smear, so I wanted to prevent the symbols from rubbing off. Got some SEM satin clear and went to work.My OCD got the best of me today. Ridiculous amounts of dust after my last three outings.

Nope just soapy water, tack cloth, and canned air. If I used alcohol or anything like that it would have really eaten into and smeared the white paint. I learned that the hard way on my last Jeep.I like what you did, and how they turned out. Did you use anything other than soapy water to clean prior to painting?
That’s a nice pattern. I’m currently doing my 60 and trying to get there - sneaking up on it though.On my way to 4.56s
Hopefully I’ll get these bolted back in this weekend.

This thing...Thanks. The front was super easy, almost didn’t have to do any shim swapping.
The rear took forever, I had to have a buddy bring his extras in to get the right combination.
A 60 would be nice, what’s it going under?
