What did you do to your TJ today?

Accessorized!
I installed the Rugged Ridge tray and phone mount, and drilled out the phone mount so I could flip it and still have some clearance from the tray and dash vents. Thanks @BigWheel88!
Installed GraBars so the wife has an easier time getting in.
Deleted the milk jugs. Whoa!

I guess you haven't heard about one of the Rules here?......."Pictures or it didn't happen ".
Sorry to tease you guys like that. Here are the money shots.
Front end showing a lot more exposed tire: :icon_domokun:
Rear end without the jugs, which were making nice little homes for Brown Widows:
GraBars installed. Not sure if I'm going to bother putting the plastic trim back on or not. Didn't have a 1/2" drill bit handy so I have some time to consider it.
Rugged Ridge tray and phone holder, with the holder flipped down:
And bonus pics of the sun shield I cut the other day from an extra large $9 shield off Amazon. Fits the windshield very nicely and the visors hold it securely. I just traced the outside window seal on some butcher paper and cut to fit, then added a cutout for the mirror.
Had the NTM rims installed this week. In the future will add some seat covers and replace the passenger side fender due to the rust belt blues. Found one on Craigslist the right color and just need to prep it before installing.
The boat in the background is the reason I have the TJ. My son was the Jeep’s second owner but after graduating college he bought the boat which he couldn’t tow with the SE. He didn’t want to sell the TJ so I made an offer and told him he could use it whenever he wants. Now it gives me the hobby I’d been looking for, some fun for my wife and I and my son can still enjoy it too.

I really want one on those!

If you flip the phone holder as it comes from Rugged Ridge, it contacts the accessory wheel on the tray.
The top piece with the retaining nut has an extra hole. All you need to do is use it as a template and drill a second hole in the same position on the phone mount.
Then when you flip the phone mount and place the bolt through the second hole, it clears the wheel on the tray and the phone mount ring barely contacts the dash vents.

Scored a really nice rear bumper off of CL for $125! What a bear getting the bottom bolts out. They are toast. Going to Fastenal to pickup some new ones tomorrow. Painted the rear cross member. Ran a 7/16 x 20 tap through the vertical mounting nuts on the new bumper because I could not get the bolts to thread in. Got some grade 8 bolts at Ace but might get some stainless at Fastenal.
Painted the front frame after removing the front Sway Bar and Painted the Sway Bar bushing clamps.
Will post pics when completed.

A stock TJ but I love her 
Took the top of today and installed a net and shade. The kids love it!
Because the top is heavy and I dont have a garage I bought a cover for it. I am leaving the top off most of the year and the doors will come off as needed. Also bought a tire cover.

Took some of the ugly out of the wheels. Now I think I can put off replacing them for a while.

My rear Warn Rick Crawler bumper has its share of scrapes and bruises so a quick sanding and repaint were in order.
