I put Rugged ridge flat end caps on (same as your link) but not really happy with the fit/look I might buy the Mopar end caps that are smaller than the USA original "Jugs", I think they are stubby end caps? expensive though!
What did you do to your TJ today?

Very American.Took the "Pedestrian Pushers" off the front bumper
Yay or Nay?
Lets see how long before I get pulled over by the Aussie Gestapo!

Next the illegal original tow hooks and fogs, might as well go full illegal than partVery American.
Took a ride up to Petit Jean mountain and then up to the Buffalo River area..
I like the look of these that were on my LJ before I went aftermarket bumpers. Just looked though and not sure you can get them as Quadratec now lists them as not available. Armadillo Industries parts #s 11902 and 11903 I think.
Put on the Caltrend seat covers and beefed up the padding on the front seats. Also added one inch seat risers. Much better driving position and more comfortable. Plus the seat covers make it look new. Pic with just one installed for comparison.
Those are the Stubby end caps, Rockauto has them, I will be getting a set as the flat endcaps I put on dont look as good.
Mopar makes them as well but they are expensive
Took the old W/S frame out, jeeeezo pete what a mess! Found six pennies in the debris

@Claybirdd came up and we worked on his shifter and his transfer case linkage and console...
After we scouted a new trail.
Then we decided to go wheeling and I had to show off my driving skills and get a Rubicon stuck on flat ground... Luckily the winch line barely reached a tree.
So once we got out of that Quagmire we went to the Rocky Hill climb I like to play on so I could give the Bird a locker demonstration..he's sold.
Got a killer barbecue sandwich and also went and raided the local Harbor Freight.. then we came back and buffed his hood after the mud pit episode in my 06.
A very manly Saturday.

I'm 50/50 on folding mine down this spring when the hardtop comes off just to take a peak. Were you seeing signs of rust before you folded it down?
Lockers are definitely in the VERY near future. I'm constantly amazed at what these things are capable of.
It's always nice having friend you can wheel and wrench with. @AndyG is a heck of a guy. Absolutely top notch.
Used it to drive you UHaul for a truck and auto transport trailer to pick up my father’s new project. He and I will have a lot of fun, and I’ll get a lot of new tools (and skills) out of the deal.

Zorba, Buddy, I am always interested in the awesome mods and up-dates you're tossing at the TJ. Looking at this photo I must ask, did you have a bobcat naw off those zip-ties?!?!?!
I notice those things. In the helicopter world we use a LOT of zip-ties, we use them to hold anything down to prevent chafing. If a Tech left jagged edges like that I'd have to counsel them and provide additional training on the use of Flush Cutters. Those edges will lacerate the crap out of a forearm reaching past.
Please, please, please clean up those edges before you post a sliced up arm!!
Nice! I replaced the tps sensor and no longer getting any codes which is nice. Yesterday I spliced wire for the first time while extending my third brake light up using hockey pucks as spacers. These Jeeps are too much fun.
ditched these newfangled LEDs for reliable H4s. Rings are getting repainted.
Pulled my fuel pump for the third time this week. After the bosch pump modules refused to hold pressure 5 minutes after shutting the vehicle off, I just picked up a Delphi full unit from the parts store down the street that had it in stock. Jeep fires up instantly again, and by replacing the full unit, I got a proper gauge reading again as well! From the looks of it, an OE style pump module appears to fit in the delphi housing. If this one goes on me prematurely, I might try my luck with bosch again and replace in the Delphi housing. I know there were some threads questioning if that could be done, but never saw confirmation. It at least appears identical to OE spec.
Yea, you're right. We used a shit ton of tye-wraps in a marine environment and I do indeed "know better". Just like my late electrician father used to do all kinds of crap on his own stuff - like leave a switch sticking out of the wall on a pigtail for about 5 years - ya know how that goes! Next time I'm in that way, I'll be sure to dyke them off flush...Zorba, Buddy, I am always interested in the awesome mods and up-dates you're tossing at the TJ.

I think you might've had something wrong with yours or maybe just that brand sucks eggs cause I went from almost not being able to see with whatever bulb was in there to may as well have a lightbar back there bright with these LEDs.

I've had them for two years now, still good.
I scratched my last F250 baaad with that very edge....luckily it sanded out. They are sharp.Zorba, Buddy, I am always interested in the awesome mods and up-dates you're tossing at the TJ. Looking at this photo I must ask, did you have a bobcat naw off those zip-ties?!?!?!
