What did you do to your TJ today?

Replaced the passenger sway bar link. I also forgot to take a wrench off of the front bumper. It came off about 1/2 mile down the road on the way to dinner. Recovered safely...stupid lesson learned.
Plans the next few days:
Wire powered sub and reassemble consol.
Drill additional holes for new bumper
Weld nut plate to secure new bumper to frame
Wheel it at Topless Day in NE PA

Twas a 'Dingo' like that stole my baby !!!!
Today I finally replaced my front lower control arms, which involved cutting out the 100% seized axle bolts with a dremel and sawzall. Replaced bolts with grade 8 pieces and used the Black Magic Johnny Joint washers. Continuing the journey to replace all the old rubber on this 15 year old beast.

Repainted the fenders and made some new door straps since one was useless Velcro.
I did that with a Makita cordless drill (set in behind a Warn 8274 winch mount) and another time with a snap-on ratchet and 10mm deep socket
Unfortunately neither time did I find said tools
ok glad I’m not the only one getting 130 out of a tank! Hahaha
Filled up at 176 miles. Still had almost 4 gallons left. Which is what I'd been getting for most of the last year.

If those photos were taken about 10 min apart that fuel gauge seems about right ....
Love how your "Extremely Rightwing" sticker is on the left side of your bumper
Bring a pop-up bar of soap!

I did something very similar last week. My favorite 1/2” ratchet and my extensions made a 35mi round trip on top of my winch
When I see these wrenches show up in peoples tires, I now know who to blame.
Fixed my 1494 code, thinks it's why I got a good deal on my Jeep, just plugged the hose back onto the pump
That is one beautiful engine bay

That should be the OEM version to be honest.
Nice work!

Definitely something to look into. Any cooler air at all, or just cleanup of the engine bay?
