What did you do to your TJ today?

Took a very unexpected trip yesterday. Wife called me from work and crying. Her brother had a apparent heart attack at work, while talking on the phone to his wife. CPR didn't work and he was pronounced dead. He was only 62. Just such a shock. He was planning on retiring next year and enjoying retirement. He was a great guy. You just never know. Enjoy your life now.

Boogie, so sorry to hear of your wife's and your loss. You are correct, you just never know; enjoy it while you can. Condolences to your family.

Hope you guys are OK.

Washed the TJR to throw the cover on-

I don’t know why it looks lifted more to me today -

Really wasted some good driving weather to be truthful- It is gorgeous out here today at 85°.

We are headed to the fiddlers’ convention in Athens, Alabama

The gauge looks really cool. You might be interested is something like this. It is a digital gauge that plugs into the OBDII port. It can be programmed with around 70-80 gauges with up to 6 or 8 gauges per page (screens) that you can change to.

Anyone know how the two rollover valves are plumbed up? The one on the driver side was connected to a hardline on the frame rail but the passenger side just has a broken Y fitting but wasn’t connected to anything. The FSM doesn’t have a diagram that I’ve found yet.

Mine were like yours when I did my fuel pump. I got a tee and connected the two lines together and to the steel line. It's worked since 2011 , who knows if it's correct ....;)

I have one of these. I bought originally for my Subaru to be able to see transmission fluid temperature only to find out that it didn’t read that. I found it in the garage a couple of weeks ago and installed in the jeep. They are kinda cool and it has more data than anyone needs but the biggest thing I found out is that it doesn’t like the sun. I have it mounted on the dash on the driver side behind my registration sticker. After sitting in the lot at work it will start beeping and telling me that it’s too hot and it starts acting wonky till it cools down a bit.

Got an early start on some much needed maintenance. Dropped the tank to swap the pump and skid. Cleaned up some rust and put some rubberized undercoating above the tank. So far so good. Hopefully this Napa pump will work for another 27 years. I found an open short on the ground wire that I guess was causing my sending unit to act weird at times. The vent hose is broken at the T on the passenger side so I guess I’ll get into the schematic and see how to fix that. I need a few new bolts as I snapped a few off while hitting them with the impact. Also it looks like the tank has been swapped out before because it says 2000 wrangler in yellow paint pen while mine is a 97. Hard to tell how many miles were actually on it but my odometer says 149k.
