What did you do to your TJ today?

Since you have the skill set, do it yourself.
When you are ready to spray, go rent a self storage unit for a month and not worry about the fumes. You can make a suitable compressor from a harbour freight compressor and motor and use an old water heater for a tank. When done throw it away because it would only be a couple hundred bucks. Or check Craigslist or Facebook marketplace for a compressor.
A shop will be at least $500 and probably would not let you in the spray booth to ensure the texture is what you wanted. The top coat is the easy part.
All the breathers are up high, I didn't raise them, they already were.
I am glad I relocated the locker pumps now!!!!! They are under the hood.
Thanks. Also did the inside of the top while it was painted. I thought the white just looked out of place. SEM Landau Black.
Rebuilt my rear drive shaft with Spicer u-joints.
I really wanna do that….i bet it was worth it?
Started repainting a rear bumper for my son-in-laws TJ. Pics once we finish and get it mounted.
Celebrated getting my new registration this morning. Somehow, I felt like the country celebrated with me.

Did @AndyG skip that trip or did he swear you to secrecy with his no cell phone (death duck) clause in his new contract?
p.s. I love VA red clay mudding, but quit doing it after taking 12 hours to clean my Jeep on my last trip.

He was there, but was very quiet for some reason.
Oh and he didn't break anything this trip

I'm guessing his Uber driver did.
p.s. Don't tell me he winched you out in that pic. Uber driver, not @AndyG.
For one, I drove it in today, because it's PATRIOT BLUE! And I felt pretty patriotic today. Also, put on my new BOH. For you autists, I'm putting all the Texas ones across the top by the Trail Rated, so the unbalanced (for now) presentation might trigger you. Lastly, new door straps because I had one fail.

Tom Woods Shafts arrived today and new rear axle retaining plates. Will press on the bearings tomorrow after work, wedding Friday night and Saturday we will ge “Bens Deployment Build” to test drive. Or at least that’s the plan. If all goes well exhaust shop next week and new tires mounted same time, they said drop it off when ready. Getting down to the wire deployment ends December (i hope)

Question, what’s your go to tire shop around the area ? They are all hit or miss by me
Got into the Christmas spirit a bit early today, and after 115m of tinsel and some leftover baubles, we’ve got the wreath spare tire done!
This set we purchased offline and will be mounted and balanced at Paul’s Motors in Poughkeepsie. The guys there are top notch mechanics and “good ole boys” too. I never question pricing because I m always satisfied.
Cost aside I always the guys at the “Armonk Garage” were good people. They are close to you.
But if you need a large tire shop I just don’t know.
Hi! can you tell me the complete size of the tyre? Thx!! (sorry my english)

No shops around me will touch 35's, so I have no problems traveling to find a reliable shop.
