After the Rubi flares were a bust yesterday, the deal with my friends Walt and Susan visited forum member @Chief1942 out in AZ and picked up a free Warn Bumper to bring back to me in TX. What a deal! Great friends and a very gracious forum member!

Well I failed at getting all the transfer case bolts removed. 2 of them were just spinning in the frame!!!! Off to 4Wheel Parts I went. They had a difficult time as well but got the job done and my Rubicon Express transfer case lowering kit is installed and what a night and day difference it made with my Lift Kit. It is so smooth now and the dreaded tj lifted vibration is gone! I'm one happy person.
Congrats on no vibes! Those nutserts do strip out. @mrblaine sells those. I keep a couple on hand. Not difficult to replace. He gives good instructions on how to make the tool to install.

For the first time since I've owned it (just about 2 years), I took it through a car wash.

Well where's the picture of that nice clean TJ?
Ive always wanted to see a hard top with the insulation installed. Any chance we can get some pictures?

Cleaned up my stinky rear seat and is almost dry now too....Hoping the weather holds long enough to take the Jeep and my kids and one of their friends into the city to watch the fireworks tonight, set off from our sky city tower (similar to the one in Toronto) Will take some pics if I can.

Started to replace the front axle pinion seal, got the pinion nut off and drained the oil and cleaned up the cover, will do the rest tomorrow. I don't need the Jeep for a few days, so slow and steady.
Good Morning Jeepers,
It's not even 9:30 am and I've already been cold at play. Current temp 7 degrees here in lower Michigan. I picked up a set of stock 2017 Wrangler wheels and tires, slightly used, for $350 yesterday. Of course, I couldn't wait to put them on, so I made a pot of coffee and put my big jeeper pants on. Below are pictures of the before, current, and now running wheels and tires.
The before wheels and tires when I purchased the rig. 30x9.5xR15's
Currently running stock 16". 225x75xR16 I believe.
New wheels and tires. 245x75xR17's
The new set had less than a month's use on them and the spare tire was brand new with the red and blue lines still on the rubber. What a difference a simple swap makes. Now I have a whole day to play with them in the snow.
Happy New Years All.
