Washed the undercarriage of my TJ.
Yes sir, I trimmed the plastic windshield trim and had to trim the door surrounds also.
hhhmmm.... I want a set but I'm not keen on cutting up the door surround.
ATP's product description says...
This is a bolt on product, no permanent vehicle modifications required
Was there something rogue about your door surrounds that required you to modify them? Can you share a pic of what you needed to trim?
Took it on a real shakedown run on Denver Creek today out of Pinehurst, ID. Everything worked as it should. Got to use the crap out of my 103:1 final drive ratio and it blew my mind. We ended up at an old abandoned silver mine for lunch and then drove a real tight creek back down to pavement. Still need to get the pics my wife took but I do have a group pic of most of the rigs at the mine.

All together we were 15 strong. Also some decent art at the mine.

Did that run last weekend. I am very much looking forward to lower gears and lockers, since there is only one spot right after the second water fall that I have to bypass. Glad you had a good time!

Replaced all of the control arms. No more wandering around and wondering which way the Jeep will bounce after every pothole. Pulling to the left on braking is significantly reduced but not eliminated. Steering wheel is also a bit straighter.

I was going to tackle the valve cover gasket within a couple of weeks. I am going to hold off on doing the VCG until I am ready to do the rear main seal at the same time. That should fix both oil leaks in my Jeep.
My next big project is fixing the transmission leak. The puddle of trans fluid on my garage floor is much, much bigger than the puddle of oil.
I keep saying that one of these days I'm going to pull the steering box and replace the input shaft seal to fix the leak, but as long as the chicken bones, blood, intestines, midnight nude dances with a spear around the bonfire while chanting to the great ancestral god of Jeeps, Eugene, keeps working why bother?
Although the rest of it is entertaining, I think the Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak is probably doing most of the work of keeping the leak to a minimum. Still I do need to replace that seal someday. Especially since I've already purchased the seal/gasket kit.
Prepped my Jeep today to pass state inspection this Wednesday. I needed to take a picture of my current mileage and registration so they could fill out the sticker.
I grew up in VA and remember when my dad got his license or whatever it was to do state inspections (the "sticker guy"). He became the most popular guy at the shop real quick.
So true! My mechanic knows I take care of the Jeep, so I make his job easy. He said the "sticker guy" might be leaving before I get there. He will fill it out ahead of time. I've only driven it 1,500 miles since the last inspection.
