Low effort, high satisfaction. Had a nice 18650 battery headlamp but the headband disintegrated. 1 ziptie later, I have a really nice adjustable brightness and aim able rollbar light.

Thx, it’s the Bartact one. Officially discontinued but when I called last year they still had a few on the shelf.
Haven’t done it yet, but gonna have to put the top and doors back on tomorrow. Rain forecasted for the next 6 days, then temps in the 60’s after that.
Gonna take Mason for his weekly come tonight while still topless.

Decided to fix some deferred maintenance. The rear axle developed some rust from launching our boat in Baja. Por-15 took care of that. Still have the bottom of the axle to do. Springs repainted too.
Tire Rack delivered tires for my Sons build. This will happening real soon. He’s expected back December.

Got my LJ back on the road this afternoon. New Alternator, belt, idler pulley and belt tensioner. Then took it for a test drive to the next town over and it ran great. This was after a run through the field behind the house.
I'd almost forgot this little project I started about a year ago that kept getting put on the back burner due to other more pressing concerns. I got another transfer case shift lever, cut the top bend off of it, welded on a straight section, then welded on an old M10 bolt with the head cut off so I could put a matching shift knob to the one I made last year for the transmission shifter (only a bit smaller). I like the old school T/C shifter sticking straight up instead of hiding in the side of the console. Plus it's easier to reach.

Nothing like letting the dog out at 3AMish and finding your Jeep is not where you parked it. After my test drive late yesterday afternoon, I parked it under it's carport next to the house. Then when the dog woke me up, It wasn't there. I did a quick look around and no sign of it anywhere else on the hilltop where our house sits. I went back in the house and called 911 to report it missing.
While I was waiting for the deputy to show up, I went back out there with a brighter flashlight. Behind the house is a gentle slope going down to where there used to an old pond that had been drained about 40 years ago. Guess where I found my LJ. On the other side of it. Apparently I didn't leave it in gear like I normally do and it decided to go for a stroll down the hill, over a large rose bush, going between some good sized trees, past a phone pole and an old satellite dish, under a clothes line and across the old pond bed. I called 911 back and told them that I found it and it had went walkabout behind the house. No apparent damage and I drove it back up the hill to it's carport and set the e-brake this time.
I guess the carport isn't on as level a ground as it looks like it is.

Best outcome possible
Good on ya, mate. Quick - go buy a lottery ticket!
Don't you hate when things like this happen , and you're behind it ?
We've ALL been there in one way or another . Glad it wasn't much worse !!!!!
No damage is a win.
And dodged some good sized trees, a phone pole, an old satellite dish, and a clothes line.
You better be VERY careful for about the next year and a half - you just used up ALL your luck for quite awhile!
