He's fine (it's Texas), the cords (wear indicators) aren't showing yet.
That must be why a little snow shuts down the state?
What did you do to your TJ today?

Turns out the axle I bought from Facebook Marketplace.......the Gears howled after I installed
Longstory short I went to mock up one of my savvy control arms and I noticed diff fluid all under my Jeep smelled it before anything...
Turns out the pinion bearing is toast.
The pinion yoke moves a good <3/16ths of an inch front to back up&down ....that explains the even further gear howling noise I was having today....
PUSHED UP
PUSHED DOWN
It's pretty bad.....I still went over 100 on the Toll way

New weights?
Oh no I probably missed the Rogue sale becuase I was buying Jeep parts.
Today I replaced the crankshaft position sensor! Goodbye p0320. I was very surprised by the location, and also equally surprised how quick the install went.
Next up p1596.

Daughters jeep was the same way, only no howl. Also took it from Mansfield to Prosper up 190 & the tollway. And that’s the story of how I learned to do gears.
Thankfully I naturally am pretty good at doing gears,practiced on my buddies Xj then my Lj
I bought this Built axle off of Marketplace With a Locker,chromo. Shafts,regeared to 4.88s,Arb diffcover for 400 bucks so I can't complain
I only bought it cause I needed something quick so I wouldn't stress my 42rle out even further with the 33s I'm on
I've been waiting on gears and bearings to build the original axle from my Lj all that should be here next week but "most importantly" (due to my spirited driving style) I've been waiting for a reply from Jeep West so I can buy some Uca axle brackets so I can correct my geometry in the rear.....but as of now that isn't an importance if I can't get em in.
Just need a focus on rebuilding the original axle.
It's a pita. For me.....
I got big hands/forearms so I struggle to get a tiny wrench up there,it's close to the firewall,I got a Rock slider tube in the way to the sensor.....maybe it's just me

That should be it. Still baffled that these no longer come with a $1000 top!!
Yesterday...I finally took the "ROUGH COUNTRY" letters off of my windshield.
I momentarily thought of removing just the O, R and Y from "COUNTRY" and see how long it would take my lovely wife to notice. Then I realized she does not always see the humor in things like i do.

Sounds like she might like this mug from the University of North Texas:

She doesn’t want to See UNT’s campus? Or maybe see UNT play football?

No one at work gets excited like people do here when I tell them what I did to my TJ.
