Nice job!
Where did you source the reflective material and what sewing was required? Possibly just adding binding around the edge?
What did you do to your TJ today?

Thanks, reflective stuff from Ace hardware and the edge binding from a local fabric shop. Made a cardboard template that fit the windshield with cutout for the mirror. Layed it on the foil and cut carefully with a razor knife. Pin and sew the edging and you got it, binding may not be required but I put an elastic strap at one end to hold it when I roll it up.

Got my new front axle in (2005) in my 98’...only took about 5 hours total. And a good buddie with a 750 lb cordless impact. New rear Dana 44 going in to replace the 35 next week..
Nothing to write home about, just some old bushings I cut in half to use as spacers for my d-rings
As you can see, these are fairly old, and show signs of age. Easily replaced, though. I cannot remember what these came off, just found them in my miscellaneous Jeep parts box and cut them in half. They work perfect with the Dirtworx d-ring bracket size.
New windshield appt set for Thursday for $215.
Paintless Dent Repair scheduled for Monday. Guy says he can get 90% of it for $175. He’s also going to work on some other spots. Suggested Zymol for removing scratches.
Not fun having to spend my money here, but it should be done.
On a better note my RoadPro CB holder is finally holding to the dash.

Thanks for the pictures..... Great idea! I might just put my D rings back on now.
Over the last two days, installed a sub in the rear seat. Got the idea from @JMT and his install. I have the fold and tumble seat and the sub fir without issue. I used a https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019Z3RFGY/?tag=wranglerorg-20 , it is low profile and had good ratings on Amazon.
I used a couple of steel flats bolted to the seat frame and the amp attached to them. I ran full length wiring so I could remove the seat as I do from time to time. I cut the factory seat cover as well as the Bestop cover so as not to cover the driver itself. All in all it was an easy install and as expected, made a significant improvement over the bass-less 5.25/6.5 speaker combo.
I also found that one of the cheapo Kenwood 5.25 fronts was blown so have some new Polks on the way.

Nice install. Super nice! Fantastic work and I'm sure it sounds great.
I think it's a butt massage. They're better anyway.
Yep! Had my boy jump back there with some old skool Too Short (yep, still roll with it on occasion ) and he was crackin up!

I haven't done anything to the jeep lately but seeing all the shackle posts recently I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. I took mine off other than the one I hook my winch cable to. I did it during deer season a year or two ago, I had no idea how noisy they were until I got rid of them. I always thought it was my suspension making all the noise. Now the extra one rides in my recovery bag.
What I did yesterday.....
Finished installing my hand throttle, oil change, and new spark plugs.

My partner was home the other day, so before she could find me a job, I thought i'd replace the valve cover gasket. My Jeep is the 2006 which had that stuid plastic wiring bridge at the back of the valve cover, which I removed last week. I didn't want to tackle that and the cover in one hit.
Anyway, it wasn't too bad, bit tight getting the cover off, but I got there. As my Jeep is right hand drive, we also have the heater hoses to deal with, as they go over the back of the cover. A broom handle sorte
d them out though.
