Not yet, but I have an old set of YJ door uppers that I'm going to check to see if the pins line up with my half doors.
If they do, there's my foundation!
I don't even know where I got these as I never had a YJ.
Hope the 3rd times a charge. 1st time I replaced the trans pan gasket/ filter and replaced the mount-- got a leak again after about a week. 2nd time replaced the pan with a deep one with drain plug and new gasket-- leaked after a few months. 3rd time went with a lube locker gasket 
If nothing else, had a lot of fun with my son helping. He graduated college and is helping me catch up on stuff

I pay $1,400 a month rent for a small condo and I can't even park my third vehicle here.
I know how you fee, Im paying the equivalent to $1800 per month USD to rent... (house prices in the big smoke has just gone crazy in the last 5-8 years)

Holy smokes!That is almost what I pay for our mortgage on the house we built in 2022.
Charlottesville was ranked the most expensive city in Virginia to live in, University of Va is 5 minutes from me and it drives up the rental prices. Most 2 bedroom apartments rent for $1,800 and up. It sucks.

Limped BB home today with a PO765 code
Have you been Wranglerfixed yet?
Yes I have been, still going to talk to Mark about it.
Going to install the old PCM just to double check.
I was able to get the garage door opened yesterday and got out to a local brewery for a couple of beers. Yeah, that garage door needs looked at. I have someone coming by on Monday.
I'm painting the bumpers. I'm learning as I go. The first coat had some heavy spots in it, and it is from where the paint doubled up because I was going back and forth. I am learning that if I want the paint to come out smooth and even, I have to start spraying and go the entire length of the bumper in a single pass. Then, come back in a single pass. I've got 2 coats now and will do a 3rd coat on all the visible parts of the bumper.
I have a Draw-Tite trailer hitch on the back of the Jeep. I'm thinking about painting it as well while it is off.
I'd take the hitch off completely, but that's me. I wouldn't pull anything with the Jeep.
Bumpers are done. It is a bit blotchy in full sun but that's the only time you can really see it.

Ok swapped the @Wranglerfix PCM for the original made a 2 Mike trip and shifted good. Parked it and then about an hour later drove it again, the CEL came on as I was Leaving the driveway and it was in limp mode again.
Going to check the wiring and make sure it's all good. Then start the process of swapping out the shift solenoid.
Summer break for the kids so I got my installs done. Much happier with these mirrors than the Amazon knockoffs.
Also snugged down my door hing boots. Closes much smoother now.
