What did you do to your TJ today?

[bbaldwin237]

Geesh, where did the day go? I just finished the 30 page re-read, don't tell the boss, and I gota say the CavFab rockers really piqued my interest. The have the basics already done and it would be pretty easy to add the spacers, especially with @bluescapegoat 's notes. The price is right and maybe with a phone call they would send full ww2ww length? Anyone put these through light to medium abuse?

Since there's no step or anything like that, and depending on your fender setup, you could order the LJ version and trim the rear. Then they would be front fender to wheel well? At least in theory, I'm not certain that the torque boxes and/or body mounts are the same underneath.

Cab fab aren’t as boatsidey as Dave’s. Dave’s will do custom lengths.

Installed a new HVAC fan knob to replace my broken one. Easy-peasy. Ordered a set of 3 to cover any other failures down the line.

Cleaned it after the muddy trails earlier.

I installed the B&M short throw shifter and a cabin air filter housing. I am interested to see how different the shifts are in the morning after the RTV dries. The cabin filter is 3D printed and the filter is from the JK's.

I also have this billet aluminum thermostat housing to go in tomorrow evening. Hopefully this one will seal better an will not be prone to cracking like the cheap aluminum factory ones are.

Who made the thermostat housing?

Who made the thermostat housing?

Newcomer Racing. It was pricey but if it doesn't crack it will be worth it.

Thanks. Now I'll be spending time going down another rabbit hole looking into their stuff.

They are the best Jeep 4.0 engine builders. They have some great stuff.

Right on, thanks. Looked at the install instructions, they are pretty cool, but I'm not looking to cut into the body at that level.

I'll go back to my previous comment, RockHard 4x4 sliders.

Re-wired my Side Marker lights so they aren't turn signals. Now the switchback modules in the front switch from White Park lights to Amber Turn Signals and the Side Marker lights just stay on Amber.
I didn't have any trouble with the LED's flashing correctly, I just wanted it to be like today's cars.

Actually yesterday, got the front and rear camera’s wired up. I’ll probably cut the wire to eliminate the parking assist guidelines on the front camera.

Job looks good -

If you’ll take some washers and bring your climate control out about an eighth of an inch it will stay cleaner in there and fit the bezel tighter

I appreciate the recommendation, I'll give them a look.

Changed my LJR oil

Added a quick oil change adapter due to the skid- I hope these don’t affect the oil from draining contaminants much- seem restrictive but maybe I’m over thinking it.

Washed it down underneath

Checked my lugs

Did final brake burp

Installed JK dead pedal from my TJR , fits better at length I made it

Lengthened jk dead pedal for TJR and installed

Dogs not much help

Time to grab a coke, turn the radio up and take a drive -

Just a reminder you can get these little cap kits cheap on amazon- like 7.99
