Sorry, but only the hardtop photos are mine, the other Jeep photos are from other members here. @UND_Sioux is the owner of the black LJ with hardtop (3 photos), I think he's running 33" tires but can't say much beyond that. I've tagged him in this reply so maybe he can supply more specifics on the tires.
Swapped the soft top for the hard top and put the Boom Mat headliner in the hard top and Rugged Ridge top to tub seals. So far, the Boom Mat makes a huge difference. I haven't driven it much, but the radio is a ton better. It fits very tight with the RockHard Sport Cage in it.
Unpacked the Woodys for “Bens Deployment Build “ These puppies are pretty.
Also got a call from the sailor. I’m going on a Tiger cruise. If you know you know! It’s 3 days 2 nights on an active Navy ship.
Fuck yea.

Acquired and installed N.I.B. / N.O.S. Mopar corner guards with rub rail for LJ and added a RockJock Currectlync steering system up front. Thanks to Ron at Red Scorpion in Tampa for doing the heavy lifting on the installs!

Had a pretty day alone in the garage. Away from everything. Installed a new LDP, fuel tank, sender with a pump, evap lines, and a purge valve. Was able to get it down only snapping 3 bolts. two on the ldp and one on the tank but its running. Hoping those evap leaks are gone for good
Checked into how hard it is to replace stock control arms vs bushings only. I'm afraid it will be over my head and I'm a pretty good mechanic. Advice?
The difference in price is negligible - just replace the entire arm. Except the front uppers with the bushings stupidly pressed into an axle holder. I replaced those arms as well, but I ended up having to have a shop replace the bushings on the axle end.

Being in Ohio, I would look into getting some control arm bolts as well. If they're rusty, the bolt may be seized to the metal bushing and you may have to cut the bolts off. Not trying to be negative but that is just the way it is in the northern part of the country where we use salt on the roads.
Picked up and installed a new JKS rear track bar. The RC one was hitting the gas tank skid, limiting my down travel on the driver side; much better now.
And a sneak peak at what should be on next weekend.

The fire extinguisher thread motivated me to finally replace the wiring for my fog lights. I was using the 16ga relay kit that came with an Amazon LED special but I’d swapped back to some KC100w halogens. Now running a proper relayed 12awg kit.
Finally got around to relocating my Rubicon OEM locker compressors.
Also finished painting and installing my son-in-law's rear bumper. Haven't wired the lights yet... Will probably do that when I get around to installing the backup camera.
I took the screw out of my tire and patched the hole.
I looked at wiring a kill switch for the fuel pump relay. I'm going to have to some digging to find a good spot to splice in the wire.
My jeep spent most of its life in Virginia and it's not rusty at all. I've never had trouble breaking bolts loose at all, but you never know. Thanks for the input!
How long did it take you? I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing.
Around 3-4 hours or so. It's not difficult, just a lot to do. Next on the list is either a bypass switch, or bypass and direct individual locker control. Haven't decided which I want yet.
