What did you do to your TJ today?

I had spaced my CHMSL bracket up 1/4" using a pair of big ass galvanized washers under each of the bolts that hold the thing on when I got my 31s. Those washers have been damn handy over the years, but I'm starting to get low on them so decided I wanted those 8 back. Bought a 1/4" thick piece of plastic (HDPE) to make a new spacer. Put it on in the dark at 2300 hours, trying to beat the heat. Still hot as balls, and the damn no-see-ums were still attacking my ankles. I put on a long skirt to protect my legs, but ended up having to put repellent on the ankles anyway.
I generally don't like using white plastics outdoors, but this one is completely out of the sun, so it should be OK...

You mean WinterSeems like we do weather comparisons every summer
So, it's parked?
It was 103 and humid as hell here yesterday. My aluminum shift knob gave me third degrees burns when I got in my Jeep and tried to drive it.

Nope, been driving BB daily this week.
Remember you have paper delivery and door dash hands, naturally they are gonna be tender..........
@ColoJeep this one is for you. I took this pic 2 days ago around 6pm. In the all day shade of my carport it was 95-96, and the humidity was running mid 50s-60%. (that little haze you can see comes from the humidity) Yesterday we reached 99, and the next 2-3 days we're supposed to be low 100s. Send me a big box of air.

Dude , the box is on the way . as of 0605 it's 57* F. with 24% R.H. here in the Rockies .
57 would be nice. 6:30 this am was 75 and something around 95% RH, which is pretty typical. I'm in the middle of NC with mountains to our west and coastal winds to our east. Our prevailing winds typically bring warm humid air from the Gulf/Northern Florida, so things stay a little warm and hazy (damp) during summer.
I got it out! Welding the bigger nut on and working back and forth slowly while spraying Kroil in between did the trick!

My middle finger is pretty tough from flipping off assholes that don't tip after driving 10 miles to bring their lazy ass food.
p.s. Don't you sell grills to people that can't afford them? Got any free 4th of July sales with BB delivery without fees? Not using the AC will cut your delivery costs.

Yes, upon further reflection, I agree with you. I was weirded out because I have never had that happen.
Gotta do an oil change on the JLU and then I will bypass the heater core on the TJ and see what happens.
Well getting BB ready for our community 250th birthday party for our great nation this afternoon!!!!!!!!! Oldest granddaughter will be riding shotgun and chucking candy at the innocent bystanders.
It was all worth it! 1” BL & MML. Think my 5’1 wife will notice?

It’s only 104F now but with no moisture in the atmosphere to absorb any of the solar energy it all reaches the ground. I could cook on the patio pavers.
Try to stay cool my friend ! Pray for a blessing for Willis Carrier's family . You likely couldn't live where you do without Willis hard work and dedication .
