Did my front brakes and put on the centramatics- they feel good but also kill acceleration- might run them 100 miles to true the tires- then yank ‘em.
Brakes looked fat, but were really noisy. Much better.
Might do plugs while we weld -
Rock rail day with @Hog -
Love hanging with this guy-
These are gonna look great.

Replaced my T-Case switch. 4wd dash light works now!
Easy, 10 minute job.
Just gotta make sure you buy the rubber o-ring. The new switch doesn't come with one.

Picked up a traveling companion for my tj. 2022 Rockwood Geo Pro 12RK.
Now I just need to install a 7 way harness and plug and I can move the brake controller between vehicles. Dry weight is 1250 lb and tongue weight is 168 lb. Well within specs for a tj.

Took the doors off and went north to the cabin today.. but something is on its way out in the clutch so I ended up pretty much returning home as soon as I got up there.
bought some etorx sockets on my way home and am currently trying to work up the energy to pull the trans for the third time.
first time it was off was to replace the clutch as the new owner of the vehicle with a Luk.
second time was to replace the failed plastic Luk throwout bearing with IIRC a Mopar throwout maybe 20k miles into the new clutch.
third time
theres some weird ass spontaneous noise like running over sheet metal on the road maybe occurring twice in a hours time. the noise changes when pressing the clutch pedal but is still very present and doesn't sound anything like what ive heard for failed throwout bearing ever.

Went for a nice Sunday drive and had a Peppered steak pie 
to relax with.
Very strong winds and the tail end of a storm last night made for some dramatic scenery on the West coast. (Yes the sand is Black its eroded volcanic rock...it has a very high Iron content so high you can it up with a magnet)
And to round off the day I missed the train

Well I hate that you missed the train with you were still in one of the prettiest places in the world- love you posts.
After a really great with day @Hog ..visualizing success as usual 
..... We got his rock bars on and I got my 2004 dialed in- Some brake noise and new plugs. Spark plugs are funny- You’re sure you don’t need some until you put a set in, then wow.
After that my wife and I went to the Alabama Jubilee balloon festival- It was really one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen- Right until they took the Tweety Bird balloon down. Boy It was sooo over then.
Next year I’m going to bring a 22 caliber rifle with rat shot.
Those look great for target practice.
I have said this before and still mean it- get to know a forum member. Becoming friends with @Hog has been a bright spot in my life these past few years.

I replaced the battery with an Interstate from Costco. I really need to clean up some of my wiring. I think I will start with some new upgraded cables from JEEPCABLES.COM A little pricey but isn’t everything nowadays? Has anyone here used them?
Thanks,
Thanks,
