Swapped out the bent factory tailgate for a car-part.com one (thanks to @Chris for the link) and installed the MORryde kit, very stout!
Thank you! Not in those photos. I had just removed the hard top. I put the soft top on after I had driven around a bit. They’re in now
Tank is in. Trailer harness is in. Took one of the flares off to see what it would take to get the previous owner paint job off and what could be done to make it not look bad. Still working on options.
When hubby power washed under my hood, it blew out my underhood light. For the life of me I can't find the other bulb that came in the 2 pack I bought. So I ordered a 2 pack of LED lights. Well, that didn't go very well. LOL I didn't pay attention to how it was made and the light is actually facing to one side or the other instead of out like it should. Oops. I thought of maybe putting the other light in facing the opposite way but I am thinking that may not go well either if they touch each other.
So much for Bosch fuel pumps being reliable. Installed the Bosch #69316 December 12th last year and it left me stranded in the middle of my mail route yesterday!! Luckily I still had the cheap pump from a kit I bought for the filter screens and rubber grommet. Took about 45 minutes to swap it out!! Also decided to do a little carbon removal on the IAC and it's housing, didn't bother to take pics of that since there are plenty on @Chris how to clean the IAC thread.

Get this style, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073VFDFN7/?tag=wranglerorg-20
The twisted ends will put the light shining in the right direction.
Thanks. Should have asked before I bought. I am lousy at figuring these things out. LOL
Installed new battery cables from custombatterycables.com, cleaned up all the grounds and installed the under hood trouble light, with LED bulb.
What LED bulb did you use? I ended up buying two - one that was brighter that wouldn't fit under the lens, and one that did fit that seemed to be about the same as the incandescent bulb...
Is this one of the ones that pull out so you can use the light in other areas? I was thinking about getting one of those types. Need to remember to look for one next time I go to Pic n Pull.
They make quality custom cables. That was the first thing I did when I bought my tj. Factory cables are barely adequate when in excellent shape.

I did the same thing when I first changed that bulb to an LED.
Just get the one from the link that somebody posted, it's 10 bucks on Ebay. My kid and I have checked literally over 100 early model GMs at the yard, it's like a needle in a haystack.Is this one of the ones that pull out so you can use the light in other areas?

Removed the A-pillar-to-roll-cage bars, cleaned off all the junk (stickers) put on them by previous owners as well as rust/crapped out paint, and repainted them in preparation for installing the new SRC 7-piece roll cage kit #76900 when it gets delivered.
My jeep has obvious signs of having the Rockhard 4X4 cage kit on it in the past (including Rockhard 4X4 stickers on above-mentioned bars) and, as far as I can tell, the SRC kit is the same RH4x4 kit, just sold by Smittybilt. I base this on the fact that they look as close to identical as twin babies from a single egg and the fact that (according to RH4x4), their 6-bolt compression clamps are patented and those are definitely used in both kits.

Didn’t do it today, but I bought the Trucklite knockoffs off of Amazon and upgraded the headlights. It’s nice being able to see ahead when driving at night!
Installed a backup camera. And then drove into the office.
