What did you do to your TJ today?

[FarFire70]

Jeep put together and uncovered after 2 years. Been under paint drop clothes. Great to see him in his glory again!

Tomorrow he is started and drives!

Final to-do (tomorrow morning) before the first drive:

• Finish tightening exhaust manifold & weld cats down-pipe
• Mark all torqued suspension bolts
• Drain & fill Engine Oil
• Align front wheels
• Attach steering damper to Currie Currectlync

Yep. Been there, done that, almost died getting out to pee one night....

Exactly

In about 10 minutes, I'm going to start the process of replacing my water pump. Let's see how it goes.

Here's the video that I'm using as instructions.

Fixed the "right blinker turning on the fog lights" issue. Much thanks to Chris on the how to article.

Less than 30 minutes in and I already have that giant fan nut off! Fuck yes!

Congratulations. Those people were members here for a bit but yoga pants and 38’s caused too much commotion here.

I've got a stuck bolt on the water pump cover. I tension the belt as much as possible and this last bolt won't budge. I've sprayed it with Kroil Penetrating oil. i'm going to let it sit for a few minutes. any other suggestions?

EDIT: Got it!

That's why I love the Hellcat PRO, full size grip frame that doesn't feel like it's gonna flip out of your hands when you shoot

Hey, let me know when you want to test it out, I am always up for some plinking :-D

Got this Bulletpoint device mount in the mail today. Feels pretty sturdy. Much better than setting my phone in the cup holder!

not sure what you mean, why would you need to tension the belt for a cover bolt? Got a pic of what your looking at?

One of the first things I do with all of my vehicles is take all of the dealer badges/stickers off. My vehicles aren't free mobile billboards. Andy

Got some new disconnects delivered today. I had previously put some regular extended links on the front and they make so much noise that I’m going to change them out for these. These seem pretty decent for a daily driver but I guess I’ll find out later today when I get them installed.

Made the swap to LED tail lights last night.
Lowering the license plate was less ideal due to some rough body paint behind the license plate bracket. Ended up using a few rivets to raise the tail lights to allow clearance.
Just need to Amazon a universal plate light and I’ll be set. Any recommendations would be great

These Genright matrix lights get some hate for their utilitarian look, but I’m pretty happy with the results. Super bright compared to previous stock lights.
Already snagged a novita relay flasher from the local auto parts store thanks to this forum info.

Just finished up mine. Hope all is going well on your end.

I bought a deal of a CL light bar but now I am about $100 into this.....because you got to have lights for your light ba!

I call it the three phases of the moon..

 

[kincaid.0678]

Out with the month and a half old links, in with the new quick disconnects. All I need to do is mount the end link holders for when disconnected. Took a ride around town and it was way quieter than the shitty rough country links I removed.

Got a new license plate. Andy

Mine didn't go so well. I started it up and it is leaking from the thermostat housing. I gotta let it cool down for a few hours, take it off, and try to reseat it.

Installed the BMB front plate bracket (typical design perfection by Mr. Blaine!):

I also installed the hood cowl and paint-matched headlight bezels I recently had painted.
