What did you do to your TJ today?

Finally got around to installing my Noico sound deadener in the LJ. Haven't been at highway speeds yet but so far the difference is amazing at 0-30 mph!!
Started tearing the Jeep apart for my big brake kit this afternoon and decided I needed balljoints so now I gotta wait on those to arrive. Couldn’t find the good ones in stock locally. Bummed

I've got my "like" button and I ain't afraid to use it. LOL!!
Looks good, can't wait to do the same.
Looks awesome! I did that this past summer, and the sound improvements have been amazing! Used the same brand, but I used the black sound deadener, and then covered that with the Noico waterproof sound deadener, and then covered everything with BedRug in the front and in the back. Road noise has gone way down, especially at highway speeds, even with my soft top.
The LED light i used was a cheap day time light kit that I bought off Amazon i believe. I bought a handful of them as they were so cheap. I Iiked the possibilities these thin yet bright lights offered. At less then 3/16 thick, you can mount them just about anywhere.
I installed an adjustable pin switch mounted in the hood. This is what the ground wire attached to. As the hood already has a grounding strap installed, this makes for easy ground connectivity.
I ran the positive wire down the hood brace and connected it to a power wire off of my 2nd battery. I'll add some wire loom or may change the wire out for a black wire to hide better later.
The lights blend right in under the hood and aren't in the way at all.
Very simple but will answer any questions.

Replaced an ugly head unit for a used classic.
Spent the last few weekends prepping and POR-15 some spots on my frame when it was raining. Finished up today by putting the wheels back on and noticed the boot on my right front linkage arm is torn. Pretty obvious when greasing my lube points. See picture. Wouldn't it be easier to just replace the boot vs. change the bushings/linkage?
couldn't do much on TJ today because of the rain,
put the brakes together and painted my new ranchos.

Finally got my matching spare wheel . Have had the rim for a while but with all this madness, couldn’t get around to have a tire put on it. Not a matching tire but it will get me out.
Notched my flares to go over the rockers.

I was thinking of doing some type mod that will make use of an LED strip running off the wiring that is already there
You can but you need to a manual or LED switch...or hot wire the crappy OEM one.
Exactly what I'm envisioning of doing. Did you run off the stock wiring location/cabling?

I can post a close-up of the switch panel. I did find this post where someone else on the forum had the same setup. (last post at this link:

There is a thread here somewhere w/ an Ebay link that I couldn't find either that has a mercury type switch.
