Just finished wiring up my 04 TJ with my buds man relay box that I wired up to the greatest switch panel ever from OTRATTW! Took me forever but it turned out great!
What did you do to your TJ today?

This was pretty simple, just four 1” sheet metal screws for the brackets (drill pilot hole first if you still have carpet in your Jeep), but I found a perfect spot just on the left of the driver’s seat that makes the Element fire extinguisher very easily accessible. This thing is tiny and super light compared to a traditional fire extinguisher, plus it never expires. It’s not exactly cheap but still not nearly as expensive as a H3R fire extinguisher. In case of a rollover, I feel much safer with this little flare size Element than a big metal fire extinguisher potentially bouncing around the cab.

Nice! Aside from the bouncing around in the cab during a roll over, with space being the commodity that it is in our TJs you could have a few of these in the same space as a 2.5lb dry chem. extinguisher.
Not sure if it's every state, but Pep Boys in AZ is closing down the retail side of operations and just leaving the service side open. Pretty much everything is 50% off. I went today for various parts and items. I saw this steering wheel cover for less than $10 and threw it in the cart as well.

Thanks. Jurassic Park has always been one of my favorite movies. I was around 13 when it came out, and we watched it at the drive in. Nothing better as a kid than seeing a 30’ tall t-Rex.I recognize that paint designMine's on it's way there too. A little ways off yet but getting there lol
The bedliner looks awesome!
I got the flares, bumpers, door surrounds, and a bunch of other little parts all raptored today in standard black. Popped the drivers side flare on to see how it looks.

Headwaters seat covers with a pistol pocket, pen pocket, big map pocket on the back and single gun scabbard for my pre-64 Winchester Model 94. Takes a good hour to install one but then you never have to adjust it again, it fits like a glove!

Since I took the pic of the seat cover, I also thought I would post a pic of the PowerTank in the Kidde fire extinguisher mount, bolted through the floor (not going anywhere, definitely wouldn’t want that sucker bouncing around the cab in a rollover). You might also noticed the Silky Saw 330 ZÜBAT Arborist behind the PowerTank, which pretty much replaced my Stihl chainsaw, unless I’m specifically going for a trail clearing trip where we will cut a bunch of wood. PowerTank adds weight, Silky Saw saves weight...

Replaced the spark plugs today with some Autolite Iridium versions. No idea how long the old plugs had been in there, but judging by how big the gaps were, it was way too long. Seems to run a little better now.
OMG , some of those are uhm, just, uhm...
Seriously, that looks like the kind of stuff I ran into on one of our ATV's years back....total shit storm caused by someone who thought they were qualified to work on...anything. Might have been the PO, might have been a shop "technician"...who knows.
Good job replacing that lot!

Finished up main install of Currie/Savvy lift - rear bumps, HD springs, adjustable rear track bar in today. Now to torque bolts, adjust pinon and install Currie steering. Then off to get tail pie re routed and alignment. Then to the hills!
New shocks in box waitng on suspension cycling to verify correct length.

Installed my grab handles and took off the Poison Spyder roll bar mount Velcro handles. Those are always in my way getting in and out. The front mounted metal grab bars are much better located.
A few pictures..(as if no one has ever seen them before)
