Got my new Sierra twill trilogy top.
Someone previously said they got one too and it fits the earlier wrangler model.
He is correct. Mine is an ‘02 and this is suppose to be for ‘03 and up

Added backlighting to my GCD fog light switch.
I had extra bulbs from fixing my airbag switch indicator and repurposed a kids dead toy charger that had a pin just the right size to fit into the pigtail.
Backlight on switch off
Backlight on switch on
It’s looks better in person without the camera artificially magnifying the backlight.

Take the switch toggle out of the switch and paint the bottom fully with black touch up paint. It will eliminate the on indicator showing when the dash lights are on. I've had to do this with all of my GCD switch toggles.
Thanks…I spent 30min looking for the damm spring after it went flying and I dropped an upper bezel screw in the dash…it will be on the list the next time I open it up.
Or maybe a Dremel tool with a cut-off wheel to the head of the bolt because of the tight space?

Yep its cracked, Yep it sucked, hands were a little greasy and it got away from me, luckily my Kwai Chang Caine (google if younger than 45) Like reflexes kept it from landing on me, for those that are interested it is a ford drive side drop NP 205
More likely. I have the typical rust on top of the fenders, and have primered replacements waiting in the pile o' parts. If I bite the bullet and do the passenger side, I'll have plenty of space to get at it. This is getting ridiculous, though!

David Carradine. Man I thought that show was the stuff.
Early on in the series contract negotiations broke down- show was a success and they just kept going.
At one point David wanted to do something, and they said “Whoa! , better take a look at your contract buddy”. He said ...we don’t have one. He got his way.
Just a killer 3 day binge with @Hog -
We wrenched, we chased parts, wrenched more, ate out, checked out my parts hoard for another project, painted half doors, ate at 2 Waffle Houses, fixed a winch , set up 3 wire led turn signals, got his onboard air fired up, put a flip cover on his in cabin winch toggle, fixed his windshield washer tank drama, installed half door door cylinders, installed door panels, installed the footman loops on the doors, new lock cylinder and module, replaced his side mirrors, flipped my rack back and removed my hard top, cleaned up and installed my half doors, checked my rear gear oil, planned my in can winch switch set up, went to a massive tool place, wheeled hard, ate out again, drove home 50 miles give or take, then had an awesome time hanging out tonight-
Beautiful weekend.
Great times

Replaced the front sway bar bushings and brackets. The installation of a winch previously removed the plastic cover that was hiding them. The old ones were pretty rusty and not pretty to look at. New ones are black and shiny.
Before
After
Now I need to touch up the paint on the bolts that attach the hooks.

Gathering all tools and parts for the job, I'm driving home and right front caliper seized up.... Added front calipers to the job too!
.
Front upper and lower ball joints, both sides and calipers. Never been done before.
That nut on the bottom of the lowers was a 32mm, (I had bought a 28mm socket) New nut is a 28.
I need more ibuprofen LOL

Would be if I was.
Actually it was a joke pic to my buddy about ThunderNail, my legendary hammer. Sort of a running joke-
“.... it has unemployed more Mexicans than Donald Trump”
“it will knock a house off the foundation if you aren’t careful”
“It is the father of Thors hammer”
Yada yada
