Reassembled door hinges with new bronze bushings. (PS if anyone wants said bushings, PM me, I still have 4 sets of 4 leff).
What did you do to your TJ today?

I need to do mine. The bushings have welded themselves in there real good. Paint is bubbling up around the hinges also.
New tires on today. 33 10.5’s
Tomorrow will be the Savvy 1 1/4” body lift and cable shifter.
And extend the tailgate bumpers for the spare tire.

I got a Screaming deal on these. Are these jks brand? Looks like them minus the stickers.

Not that this is definitive but JKS doesn't look too have paint on the threads of the disconnect end and the zerk fitting caps look different:
These (what I assume to be knock-offs) are on Ebay for ~$65 and JKS wants ~$200 for theirs.

That’s them I’m sure. I paid 8$ for them at an Amazon return store. My wife spotted them.

Today was oil change day..... and as today felt like Spring off came the doors and on went my new mirrors..
How perfectly other side of the world!
It started to rain today and is supposed to for at least the next 10 days (a sure sign winter is upon us here in Oregon). My uppers went back on the half doors this morning for the first time in months

Got my Jeep back from being regeared. 5.13s makes the Jeep sail effortlessly. Smooth as could be on the ride home with a totally different powerband through the gears.
can't beat that with a stick
That is a fine looking Rubi. I bet the previous owner was handsome.

You wont like this then
Hey guys- I just bought some of those myself- with anyone’s links being 55-65 bucks those knock offs are a deal- having installed them on a jeep sitting next to one with the JKS I put on, I can’t see or feel any substantial difference driving - the worst case is the rubber fails sooner and you put the jks rebuild kit in it- and I’m the same guy who likes johnny joints and tend to lean toward higher quality.
They work great.

The front UCA axle attachments are the final suspension attachments I need to replace (everything else is new johnny joints). The TJ drives so much better than when I got it but these last stock bushings are fairly worn and loose so I’m really interested in how the feel changes.
Of course everything is important in that regard, but those really can be felt at the wheel- plus the bushings you are removing may be as old as the jeep-
@John Cooper has the upper right on his Rubi- it is the best driving one I have ever driven, and my ‘04 is about to get both - they are really worth the time and money.
I DO like it. Just wish I was there At the moment. We actually were there a few years ago. Flew into Auckland and drove to Dunedin over about 10 days. Beautiful country. Different in many ways of course but also many similarities to Oregon.
