What did you do to your TJ today?

I had a Badlands 12k on my last TJ… My new TJ came with a winch but if it bit the dust I’d get another Badlands…
Did you go with the Apex or ZXR? The price on either is within my price range.
I was actually thinking as I read the same post how that member never sits on his rear end - he is for sure a doer. Did a frame swap in a about a week once.
We have a couple of the HF Badlands 12K and haven’t had any issues with them.
We went and got the TJ muddy today… Winona area north of HS… Beautiful day for wheelin
If you haven't already - This Standard Motor Products S-1905 Pigtail worked for me after I had to do the same 'redneck repair' after breaking mine.
I was able to de-pin the OEM plug and keep the OEM wire ends. They went into the new connector like butter. I used a de-pin tool - but only because I literally bought it for this job. A very small (jewelers-style) screwdriver will do the job to de-pin.

Ken White Locker switch mod- probably do the Gold Coast switches to get then away from the shifter.
What do I think? First thing I’ll do to any Rubicon I own.
The flexibility to run them for different scenarios and to not have to deal with the sequence of locking is fantastic- my F250 E Locker had me convinced it would be a good move and I am so glad I did it.
Hats off to @Jerry Bransford and @Hog for lighting the path a little.

I have an Engo that won some winch trials a bunch of years ago. Still working and the customer service was pretty good when I need a new remote.

I also use an Engo on my TJ. It’s been flawless. Wish I could say the same for my 9.5xp on my Colorado. It’s been repaired 3 times under warranty.
59. Do you remember when you were 59 Andy? Those were the good ole days, FDR had the new deal going, economic growth was on the horizon and Willy’s was engineering the first Jeep.
After a bunch of rain lately, then a few inches of snow, my brother stops by to visit for 10 minutes. He immediately points out condensation in the reverse light portion (driver side light) of my new BM led lights. Passenger side light is fine. I just removed the light and there's no visible chips or cracks inside or out that I can see with my old eyes. Still works fine though.

Wait. Just out there on blast Ya didn’t even tag @mrblaine At least let him know
Yes, we were very happy that she made it back home safely. She was a very sweet dog.
Sorry @Andy-WhiteTJ the door was open so i stepped in
No worries. Although I did forget the HV4W meeting last night. I must be getting senile.
I haven't liked the winch setup on the Jeep since I got it and also discovered it runs a bit hotter with the winch mounted. Got a flat plate to replace the raised Smittybilt plate, found the new no packaging Warn fairlead on Ebay for $20 shipped, one little nick on it and the radius is huge. Came across a never used Off Road Only winch rope and mounted it per Blaine's instructions. Changed the chrome tow hooks for TJ hooks. Cleaned the gear drive out and re-greased. And lost almost 35 lbs. Much better.

Changed the light bezels too!

No good deed goes unpunished.
UNIVAC 1106/1108 Assembler and DEC PDP-8i and 9 Assembler, followed later with FORTRAN 66, then C, C+, MS BASIC, TRS80 BASIC, C++, DataFlex, SQL, VB. Now learning Python.
And likewise I've never understood why anyone would want to write assembler when 3GL's exist. And even then, I wouldn't have a career in tech if 4GLs didn't exist. Fun fact, my FORTRAN professor was part of the F77 committee. That was the first time I had experienced the importance of indentation. That was at least a minute ago....
I had originally hoped to be able to write python to work with the Arduino, but I guess that's not quite as possible as I had hoped. Fortunately the language reference is good, at least for the basic stuff I'm needing so far. But lots of libraries exist to simplify stuff like controlling stepper motors (read: IAC).
The API for the board itself is also pretty simple so far.
