What did you do to your TJ today?

[Jamison C]

Installed a Spiderwebshade. I can’t believe I haven’t gotten one of these sooner because the temperature difference is crazy! This is a must have if you like to go topless.

As a side note, I bought the LJ version to get some extra coverage in the rear. Very happy with it.

Replaced my battery Friday. It had acted up last weekend so I trickle charged it then but didn't try starting it. I went to go somewhere this Friday and it only clicked when I turned the key. It was at 10.4 volts. It was an Interstate MT-34 and I assume it was replaced before I bought it in 2020, but it was dated Oct 2018.

A Super Start Extreme from O'reilly's ended up being the replacement. Then the original hold down block cracked during the reinstall. I ordered a Dorman replacement right then. It was at my O'Reilly's the next morning. I took the new bolt and washer off, reused the old bolt and added a washer at the block's underside to keep it from flexing so much. All good now.

Also about a week or so ago I'd removed the old window skins from their frames skins and cleaned them up with a wire brush. Today I hit them with some Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer. I'll let those dry and try getting the new skins on tomorrow.

I used a Dorman hold down block too when my original cracked. The bolt that came with it was installed from the wrong side, making it seem like it was the wrong part. I replaced the Dorman bolt also. It seemed to be too long.

I got a drip, so see what this stuff can do.

I just took my top off today and put my spiderweb shade on too.

Worked for me....

As someone with a fairly small RMS leak, how did that stuff hold up?

I had a small leak from RMS. It was about a quarter size over night. One treatment back when I made the post I linked to…. Never had any more leaking

Cool, I'll try it soon. I have probably a smaller leak that you, but it still is a leak.

New carpet installed, deep cleaned the tub while I was at it.

 

[JasterMereel42]

For some dumb reason, I tried to remove the rear window from the tailgate bar. I tried to get it back into place, but it is damn difficult to do. Any tips?

 

[JasterMereel42]

I put the door holders to good use.

And after getting it detailed a few weeks ago, replacing the fender flares yesterday, and taking the top off today, the TJ is ready to go for the summer.

It just slides on, starting from either end.

Thanks. I was trying to push it back into the channel. I'll take it out completely and then slide it in from the side.

Ah yes bedrug…. I love mine

Hopefully you got the tailgate bar figured out. It's actually really easy to slide on..
Nice Job with the door cart.
Yellow is the best color.

I really need to give my paint some attention.

Took the Jeep for a ride…
New twill soft top seems quieter than my old TJ sailcloth top.

Thanks for that. I got it fixed in under a minute by sliding it out. It is good to go now.

Same here with the reversed and too long bolt. I'd checked on some reviews and saw they came like this.

Appreciated having the extra washer though. I put it against the block's underside and used the original retention washer under it. All seems solid now.

I'd also purchased a battery mat Friday. It came yesterday so I'll trim it up, cut a hole for the temperature sensor and get it in place today.

Hell yeah, nice cart!

Thanks for sharing the original pic of yours and the plans to it. This definitely makes it so much easier in my garage to move the doors around and protects them. The worst damage to the entire Jeep is the passenger side door when I had it resting against my workbench and it slid down and fell and scratched up the paint. This cart prevents that now.

Also, with the doors right there, I just throw the plastic windows over the top of it and that's where they will stay. It is a multi purpose cart.
