Replaced my failing heater core. After all, it is a rite of passage in TJ ownership. All in all not a bad job, but certainly not a fun job.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Aimed my KC H4 housings for better lighting and changed out the spark plugs. Still have the P0301/43 CEL. She drives much better though. Cleaned out the clear vinyl on the rear and side windows. Man what a difference!!
Fun day in the garage on Sunday. Oil change, New oil sending unit, Wire repair and Kicker amp moved, installed a Homelink system for the garage door. Added pic.

That is a good idea. I'm going to do that as well.
Installed my new license plate. It finally arrived from the DMV.
Looks good. Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking? I would like to do something similar.
Can you tell me more about that homelink and programming it? I have a Sears Craftsman 41A4315-7D garage door opener and I am trying to find out if it is compatible with the homelink system.
Finally took the time to black out the chrome. Wasn't fully committed to covering the white ring around the knobs until now. I slapped a matte black decal on the left one as a test run. I like it! Now to just pain the white rings.

My quick Jeep Project, the Jeep is in storage for winter, but I can still work on it in the garage
Bought it on Amazon. Install was straight forward. found power at an unused connector to the right of the steering column.
After install, I couldn’t get it connect. Went to the website and they had a video to walk you thru It. I have a craftsman unit also. Not sure what model I have, check the website for a compatible chart. If you have a car that uses a home link, I would think it would work.

I finished up the back half of my bedtred this weekend along with more killmat and noico foam.
Lots of trimming to the the fender pieces to fit worth a shit.

Did you use decals for all of the chrome? Where did you get those? I used a paint pen for the horizontal trim parts between the buttons, but I was hesitant to do the same for the knobs.

Stuffed some 35's under the old girl.
Gotta love Discount Tire (at least my store), they gave me full credit for the 33's I bought in November and waived the mount/ balance fee.

Seized my rear axle since I never put in fluid in it after the install. crap
I'm a day late on posting this, but my driveshafts came in the mail this weekend so I installed the rear, front will be put in its place possibly this weekend. I finished slapping the rear brakes and rotors on. Got the e-brake cables installed and dialed in. That was trickier than I had planned. Jeep is now "standing" on its own weight since about Oct.
Last week I got the 5.9 set in where it's going to live for the final time and mated to the trans. Just need to finish putting all the extras (alternator, steering pump, ect) put on.

I didn't. Everything except for the white ring was painted. The decal was just temporary. It's just a cutout from some automotive vinyl wrap. I tried using it for those little chrome strips between the buttons, but it was a pain in the ass. Gave up and just used painter's tape to mask off everything. Then scuffed the chrome with some fine grit paper (3000-5000, I think). Then hit it all with a few light coats of spray paint.
I will be painting the rings though. I have a plan in my head, so it should make it pretty simple. I'll let you know how that goes.
Here's a closer picture to see how the strips and knobs turned out.
