And I washed some more of Alabama off my Jeep.
Seems I brought quite a bit of Stony Lonesome home with me.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Took the hard top off for the summer
, installed the tube doors after some help from the group, switched out the single DIN to a double DIN stereo system, installed rear roll bar speakers.
Trans leak saga...
Yep, the shift shaft seal is leaking again. Now, I have to try to figure out if I want to try to replace it myself or finally take it to a shop. I replaced that seal back in November and then it started leaking again in April.

Finally got to install the currectlync. Been in my parts pile for months. That's a big heavy box to have to move around the shed.
I got new Moog front sway bar bushings and bushing brackets installed.
I would be heading to a brewery pretty soon, but the garage door is having issues. I'm waiting for someone to come by and take a look at it.
Also, I think one of the GFCI outlets in my garage is going bad. I need to replace that soon.

It's always something.
Aint that the truth. I had a leak in the condensation line for the central air that wrecked the master bedroom. While I was at I did a full remodel of the adjoining master bath. Then the water heater went. Replaced that. Then, preventative replacement of the entire central air. Then the roof decided to leak. Had to fix that. One thing after another.
Even with all the headaches of owning a home, it is 1 million times better than renting and throwing money away.

Cleared a P0456 CEL, cleaned the gas cap and filler neck and made sure it was tight a few days ago. Waiting to see if it comes back.
Been driving it topless all day. The new washer pump arrived and I got it installed this evening after we set up a new swimming pool.
I am sitting in my side yard. It's all mine. I would rather live in the mountains and maybe, someday, but it's a nice house. One or two more projects over the summer. Hard to swallow the magnitude of some the upkeep and upgrade bills and the taxes, traffic and cost of living on Long Island is insane but, like I said.. it's mine.
Never rented. Went straight from living with my parents to owning a waterfront condo.
I pay $1,400 a month rent for a small condo and I can't even park my third vehicle here. The HOA tries to control you more than the federal government these days.

Sort of the same. I lived with my mom until 2 months before I got married. We rented for 10-months while we were searching for a house from my wife's aunt for essentially to cover the utilities so she had someone living in and taking care of the house. That was in 2009 when the housing market was shit.
Holy smokes!I pay $1,400 a month rent for a small condo and I can't even park my third vehicle here.
That is almost what I pay for our mortgage on the house we built in 2022.

New top installed and ready for tomorrow’s adventure!!
I tried today to put in rear coil spring angle correction plates, but I couldn't get the springs out. I disconnected the sway bar links, shocks, and track bar, but the axle tube wouldn't drop down far enough for the springs to come out. I think the extra-clearance transfer case skid isn't letting the driveshaft lower itself enough. And no I'm not removing that or disconnecting the driveshaft. I'll just borrow a coil spring compressor tomorrow. Yeah, I know they're called "widow makers", but I won't be compressing the springs but a couple inches as they are now nearly fully extended.
