What did you do to your TJ today?

Had a new thermostat installed. Just bought the TJ mid summer and didn't really pay attention. When it got clder I noticed the temp gage was about 150 and lukewarm are from the heater. Turns out the previous (before the dealer) had installed a 140 thermostat. The jeep was originally from Fla. and Ga with a short stay in Mo. before I bought it. No garage and 30s temp so I brought it to local shop. They put in a 195 thermostat. Much better!
Installed all my constant tension hose clamps using the part numbers from this thread by @MountaineerTom : https://wranglertjforum.com/threads...urces-for-constant-tension-hose-clamps.28271/
This tool was really a life saver, I don't know why I've never bought one before. I didn't even have to remove the lower hose at the water pump, I just put the clamp on the tool and worked it up into place and released. I did have to pop the serpentine out of the way but that's a piece of cake.

Drained and refilled font and rear differentials and rebuilt gaskets with Permatex Gear Oil Gasket Maker. That gear oil stinky!
I heard those FRAM oil filters will get you like 30MPG !
I definitely haven't seen it. Lol i do changes every 5k and it seems to be filtering just as much as any other filter would. At low enough intervals the filter brand argument starts to be moot.
The Savvy stickers though, those babies add some serious uptravel
I need to give it a few more days, but I think the VCG replacement may have "fixed" the leaking RMS issue.
I thought it was more of a lavender?
I don't have a black Rubicon but on my midnight blue it is soft tone of silver.
Touch of pink wouldn't hurt though.
Sorry @RINC, in all seriousness, I actually do think silver was used on more colors than the black. I think black was only used on yellow, white, and silver. But I think every other color got silver.
