Nothing wrong with the XJ, and that one looks real clean. I had a 95 years ago on 33's, locked, geared; did the Rubicon, Fordyce, and some other random stuff. It was a beast!
What did you do to your TJ today?

Well pictures speak louder than words, but you guys thought they were hard taking them off with factory loctite and paint? Try adding that additional layer of bedliner. Using @Chris ’s method and a blowtorch I got all 6 out on each door to align them with the striker. Yay no more fighting the new half doors!
Yep, those things are a pain in the butt to get off. I replaced mine with stainless steel bolts with allen heads instead of the torx head.
Installed new speakers today.

I didn’t find an adaptor locally and didn’t want to wait... so I made one
This will do until I can get one in. Installing speakers that are held in with the same screw as the cover is interesting to say the least
In the end they look and sound awesome!!

Passenger got too cold and the heater stopped working? :risas3:
Yup 5 new Duratracs.
So far I am pretty impressed although it has only been about an hour and a half. I do plan on playing around this weekend. Still trying to decide where to go.

I replaced the new, one week old, aftermarket 180* thermostat with the Gold Plated 195* MOPAR thermostat. It's simply amazing and stupid at the same time. This is the first time I've seen the temp gauge operate as it should, heat up to temp, thermostat opens and then you can see the temp cool down. It's crazy (or precision engineering) that an engine would be that sensitive. It was worth the $27.25 to know my cooling system is good, but the thermostat wasn't worth $27.25.
Oh, and I swapped out the spark plugs. I hope I didn't screw that up by upgrading to iridium tipped.

It's worth it when it keeps your rig running correctly. Plus you replace it what, every 5-10 years?? Hell, people drop hundreds on exhaust for nothing more than to make it sound "cool."

I come from the world of 1st gen Chevy Small Block engines, cheap interchangeable, off the corner parts store shelf, parts. I find it hard to justify $27.25 for a $5.00 part.
But, it does seem to have corrected the problem, and that IS worth $27.25.

The speakers, that is what you replaced, right? Or was there more to it than a speaker upgrade?
Oh no that was all just had to build the makeshift pigtails cause I really didn’t want to cut the factory wires when the part is $7-$10. So I’ll leave them like this until that comes in
