What did you do to your TJ today?

Those are outside of my budget. I was looking for something around $100. I don't trust the $20-30 no name stuff that I am finding on Amazon, and I'm not willing to spend $450 on lights that I may use 1-3 times a year.
Outside mine as well, which is why I don't have them yet, but I think it is worth saving up for a quality light from a company that will support the end user. I have just been burned too many times by Amazon no name brands.
I've been using my Amazon Nilight LEDs almost nightly for 4 years. I got my $40 worth out of them.
Only thing I have against LED’s is when dealing with rain or snow at night, you get way too much reflection where halogen cuts through them better.
Also if you deal with snow, like me, you want the heat of halogens to keep snow from plugging up your headlights. I ran LED’s this past winter and man they got plugged FAST.

That black grill cover is sweet. Thought about trying to find one but my brother in law already has a silver LJ with one and I don’t want to copy him

That was my other option, but in black instead of red. I still may go with those. They are on my wishlist along with the $80ish ones I linked.
installed a PSC big bore steering gear, pump remote resi and coolers.
I kept the stock housings and installed LED bulbs. Definitely brighter.
It’s not just the bulbs, change out the lens to driving/spread if you want more than throw and spread. I just put in https://a.co/d/04R1pAos
Renewed the registration on the TJ while we were in Washington.
The Wa. DOL offices are wonderful. No bullshit, the people working there dont seem to hate their lives and you, and renewal is pretty cheap. And no smog check required.
Complete opposite of the Ca. DMV experience

Damn it, there's definitely a leak somewhere in the AC system. Mechanic put dye in it and there isn't a leak on the engine side of the firewall. It is most likely in the cab which is pointing to the AC evap unit, but not guaranteed. I knew I should have replaced that last fall when I was replacing the heater core.
Getting better with the welds, first time really trying to mig weld flush-cut stainless exhaust, went better than I'd expected, still not pretty. First time trying to work from both ends and make it meet in the middle as well. I had a Magnaflow muffler on here before and it sounded like ass. Squeezed a Walker quiet flow in and it was too quiet with the intake through the cowl now. So back to an old Flowmaster Deltaflow I had laying around. Much better. I'll clamp the turndown on for now and run it out the rear when I outboard. Somehow. Seems tight.
Took it for a drive, belt squeals. It's neverending with this supercharger, not sure which pulley it is now.
Also brisket update

What time should I be there?
It's what, about a 12 hour drive from Aurora? I can keep it warm in the cooler.
Realistically it's probably got another 6 hours or so but you can never be sure with brisket. Maybe 3, maybe 12.
I love cooking brisket. Stay up all night watching it, waiting to wrap it, then taking a nap in the morning while it rest in the cooler until dinner. My wife, she hates it. She says it is a "reason" for a drinking for 2 days
What were your AIT temps before and after the cowl intake? I've been debating this for when I pull the trigger on Genright fenders with their inner fenders so I don't have to mess with remounting the stock intake.

I couldn't really tell you in any relevant way off the top of my head, but I need to do some more logging and I could probably compare to my old logs. With the supercharger it was so hot in boost it was into detonation territory so I'm spraying meth to keep the temps down. I was pulling hot air in from right above the valve cover before and I figured even a few degrees cooler before rolling onto the throttle gives the meth a head start.
In reality the methanol is doing all the heavy lifting.
