Feel like I am way behind on knowledge but after going down the whole "Toyota headlights for cheap" thread, I got the parts on order for $30. I, personally, don't like the looks of 99% of the led headlights on the market for TJs, but would like better output than stock. Local Toyota stealership said they should be in tomorrow so we shall see!!!
What did you do to your TJ today?

I don't either which is why I bit the bullet for Holley Retrobrights. Had I known about the Toyota headlights beforehand I would have gone that route and saved myself some coin.
I was looking at E-codes w/ quality bulbs, the Holleys, and the KC options then found the Toyota option. Worth a shot at the pricepoint. My brother has the new style leds in his 06 TJ and they just look out of place to me for some reason. A little bug eyed. Lol.
Since you are not using LEDs I would highly recommend installing a head light wiring harness with relay so the current doesn't go through the head light switch which is a chokepoint. Installing this harness is easy and will make your lights at least 50% brighter.

The Toyota lights come with a relayed harness as well. Another reason I went that route in the event I want to run 100W bulbs instead of what comes with them. I believe 60W comes with.

That's why I jumped on the ones that @red02tj had posted for sale!!!!
Now I need to install them, probably Saturday, since last Saturday was spent wheeling with my friend @tnjeepguy
I expected about $50-60 from the local spot here. When the guy said $30, I said, "sign me up". Lol.

Installed my old VHF radio. ICOM IC-F320MN-6. With thousands of miles of private logging road 5 minutes from my backdoor, it's a safety measure. If you've never seen a Hayes/HDX or a Pacific P loaded to the nuts ... 16ft. log bunks (inside measure) they are big! I loaded these trucks for 4+ decades. Google up HDX or Pacific logging trucks, also known as 'fat trucks' . . . you'll see! 
They sounds like a good one - turn it up.
Looks good. Be sure to put down a good coat of wax on the paint because you will accumulate dirt and want to protect the paint.

When I first read your post, I only skimmed it and thought you were referencing the bumper 'floaties' since you have those off. As a warning, if you offroad near rocks, please protect your corner.
These were mine and did major protection of the tub.
Just passing forward a caution if you do use your Jeep in rock environments.
Helping my buddy Dave with a transmission solenoid and sending unit bung -he did a killer gauge job.

If you're looking for replacement milk jugs, I've got a full set you can have for free...I believe you're in the PRoMD, if memory serves...
Not clean enough to eat off of but still a big improvement. 
spent most my time/can on the IAC intake while idling and revving, but also dipped into the TB a bit too, at the end.

"Major protection of the tub"?
A shopping cart in the grocery store parking lot will flatten those "milk jugs".
I did that harness upgrade on my XJ and it made a big difference, even with halogen headlights.
p.s. I still miss that Jeep.

I thought they only had those carts at the Va Walmart's.
My wife always comments on the people that always use them.
