What did you do to your TJ today?

Drove round trip 500 miles plus sight seeing to Pigeon Forge,Tenn. for our 28th anniversary. Had a great weekend, top down in Cades Cove and around Gatlinburg.

Centramatic whee balancers surprised me by taking a fairly new set of mud tires from shaking the Jeep at 55-60 to smooth as glass up to 75-80 as the tires “wore in” to proper balance at speed. It was a relief to feel 33” mud tires on beadlocks actually go from “maybe we should turn around and drive the Lincoln” to “ I’m so thrilled, so glad we brought it.”


Friday night leaving The Island, a large tourist attraction I found some ne’er do well had removed a KC smiley cover and laid it in front of my right rear tire. Pure evil.

I plan to recreate the events of Friday, Oct 24 at approximately 10 p.m. at The Island in Pigeon Forge in a coming thread. Please don’t let your children read it. Crime of such heinous nature is best left to adult audiences.

How’d you get in there? Driveshaft is in the way for any real torque
It depends on which one you're working on. I had it on a lift that a shop let me use and it barely cleared everything. It's funny how the difficult stuff, while on your back and under a Jeep, it so easy when standing up and everything above you. Leverage is everything.
p.s. My 24" breaker bar with impact socket couldn't reach it when I was on the ground.
 
Installed the savvy aluminum gas skid in my tj... in the 80 degree heat outside at 10pm in the pitch black darkness with a little spotlight, while the mosquitoes were tearing my A$$ up!

That there is one clean frame for living in PA!!!
Lived all its life in North Carolina/Virginia. Right after I bought it, I did preventative POR/Eastwood frame treatment being here in the Northeast. Last 3 years I’ve owned it here in PA, it’s been garaged. I also don’t drive it much in the winter.

Is that a Ryobi power washer? I've been looking all over for one that has a hose extension on the outlet...
It’s actually a Sun Joe power washer brand. Not the greatest but the pipe cleaning hose attachment is a game changer when flushing the frame.
