Did it come with a handle on top? If so how did you remove it? Came out nice!
What did you do to your TJ today?

Looks good, nice and simple. Maybe use some outdoor carpeting? Wrap it around and staple it.
I have some from another project. This could be another "no cost" addition.
I like it. I have 0 issue with the back deck/utility trailer look. Maybe add a few tie down anchors or tiny rocking chairs.
One thing that might be nice if it didn't let rain between the boards to help keep stuff in the back dryer.
Agreed. I have been thinking of covering it with a heavy vinyl black diamond plate look, or carbon fiber look. I don't want it to be difficult to dismantle. Now, I can unscrew 10 screws and remove it very easily. The tie downs will definitely be added. Thanks for the suggestions.
Actually, I lied. I neglected to add one last thing to the bumper to make it actually complete:
You missed it! The rear foglite was on it yesterday - but the bumper sticker was not...

D…all of the above lolAmmo or snacks and alcohol? They all go hand in hand here.
Replaced passenger side front axle shaft. Was leaking gear oil recently, replaced the inner seals, same side was still leaking. Hopefully this takes care of it.
Changed the fuel pressure regulator with a Mopar one, was getting extended crank and fuel pressure was bleeding off, sometimes instantly after shutting it off.
Changed the rear diff oil, it's a Dana 44 with trak-loc limited slip. The oil looked pretty nasty. The Jeep has 160k on it and the gears looked good, but the oil had a silvery look, like liquid anti-seize almost. No rear end noise or anything, so I assume it's from the clutch packs in the LSD.

Replaced the old OEM front shocks today, front ones had a little life left but the rear ones were totally shot. Rancho RS5000X I also highly recommend, the ride quality is just better than I imagine it was when new using OEM shocks. Fixed my tailgate not closing correctly, replaced a dead bulb in my third brake light too.
Next up is Valve Cover Gasket and when my tax money comes in, gonna replace the track bar. While I had the front wheels off, I did check the pads and they have lots of life in the pads.
Added a pic of the rear shocks in my scrap metal box. First pic was very early on the first front shock I did.

Attempted to adjust toe today. Had a really bad death wobble after installing lift this fall. Had a toe in of almost an Inch. Wasn't able to move the tie rod sleeve at all. Soaked the threads but probably rust welded. Currently shopping for a replacement tie-rod and tie-rod ends. Only busted one bolt.
I think he told me he was going to only install the 6 Jerry can mounts and 4 KC Daylighter backup lights , (with covers of course).So you are not going to install the hi lift mount ?
