What did you do to your TJ today?

I got one of their ends for my Milwaukee M18 grease gun. It is the cats meow!I just did a normal oil & filter change along with a lube of the front end parts.
‘No big deal, but I’ve got to say that this “Lock-N-Lube” grease gun is a total game changer. The end is locked onto the zerk so you don’t have to hold it in place. It also never leaks at the zerk & you don’t need 3 or more hands to get the job done.It also seems much cleaner because grease doesn’t get all over everything.

Got the second, passenger side, Summit replacement cushion in. Waiting for seat heaters to get here then putting on Some Bartact’s
I ordered a set of the rear wheel arch covers for the LJ as soon as they were released and got them installed today. Really went together way better than my TJ. Had to make one cut to fit around the seat bracket but its finally nice to have the full set!
I've got the one on my old grease gun, it's going on the new dewalt!@!

‘Time for a new battery. I got an Odyssey AGM 48 month battery so I’m good to go for awhile.
These things are HEAVY or maybe I’m just older than I was the last time I wrestled one of these.

I had one of these on my old ranger
I'm convinced it helped me flop it on its side a couple times

I bought the LockNFlate locking air chuck for my tire inflator. Works great. Now I'll have to buy one of these.
Last week I ordered the MetalCloak 13" sway bar links that I am going to use once I get the long arm kit and 4.5 inch lift added. Today I ordered the rear link kit so I can make shorter links in the front to use until I get the lift and long arm kit ordered. The kit is $50 plus shipping. I can cut to the correct length, thread an end and have spares for repair.
This woke me up on this mornings commute… big enough to see it streak through my headlights and whack! Half my commute is through or by construction sites…

The red Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) indicator illuminated on the lower right of the instrument cluster.
Soldered in a 12V 25ma incandescent mini lamp for the Passenger side air bag On/Off switch.
This is the 2nd time in 4 years I needed to replace that bulb.
Several years ago I purchased (2) Radio Shack 12V 25ma mini lamps (272-1141A), but discovered they have gone the way of the Unicorn and are no longer available.
Decided to purchase a package (10pcs) of Motoku 12V white mini LEDs and will try using them if this problem reoccurs.

Started getting in parts for the T-case overhaul.
Figured I would check the 2Low kits as they go on sale every so often.
It’s on SALE $115

Started prepping the LJ for some overhaul this weekend. Going to finish up my DIY rear wiper, install my new Sony CarPlay radio, and replace my skid plate bolts. Starting to consider a 1” body lift too, down the rabbit hole I go.
Can anyone confirm I don’t need a skid plate drop for a 2.5” lift on an LJ? @Chris I saw your comment on another thread, just want to double check!

I'll have to agree with the above, as our '03 TJ has a ~3" lift and there was noise from the driveline when the lift was first installed.
The transfer case had to be dropped - according to the "experts" at 4 Wheel Parts that installed the lift.
They did the work and included the spacer kit for free and I haven't had any issues.
Not really relevant to the LJ question, but it does confirm that some TJ's are ok w/o the TC drop and some are not.
A TJ never needs a transfer drop either. You're supposed to install an SYE
The PO had it installed when I bought it, I hate how it looks. Didn’t want to have to buy longer bolts if it’s not needed.
Went down the rabbit hole last night of body lifts. If I lift the body with the black magic 1.25 kit will I get interference with my manual shifting and the plastic bezel inside? Deleting the skid drop may help avoid it but I know in my TJ, that also has a skid drop, I had to remove the boot on the stick since any time I shifted into 2nd/4th/ reverse the interference with the bezel would push the stick out of gear into neutral.
