What did you do to your TJ today?

[801 Driver]

Behind here, Last Thursday did part of the fluid maintenance.on my 20 year old 98 4.0 5 speed TJ Most likely some of it was original. 63K mile oil change, trans fluid, transfer case, and both differentials 30/35's. I just pumped the old fluid down as far as I could and refilled the differentials, old fluid looked pretty clean. Thanks to all here with suggestions for changing fluids, made it easy selecting what to use and how to do it.

Today, had the seats out to be recovered, gray patterned original insert design was not to be found, so going all original solid gray, pulled all the carpets and washed at least 5lb of mud out of it and vacuumed and wiped all the metal under it. Nice looking painted interior, Ha Ha. Hope the carpet finishes drying in the sun tomorrow for installation.

Found a small leak in the radiator between the top filler tank part and the fins, so that will be next on the list soon.

We have people like that we call them "Snow Birds!" They are usually slow and clog up the freeways. haha

Then maybe you should call then "Slow Birds".

The weather is still nice here. Still have the top off. 79 degrees today. Washed the Jeep today and my wife and I are going for a ride tomorrow.

Finally got my front Eaton E-locker wired up into the aftermarket stock looking switches in the dash. I know it is hard to see the but the buttons on the right say Diff Lockers, Rear diff Lock, and Front diff lock. So to activate the front or the rear I have to hit the Diff lock button then I can hit the front or the rear independently. Then if that doesn't work, I have PLAN B below it. (The Winch).

By the way that is the temp outside today at my house. That is with the top and doors off today.

Who did the front section of rollcage and how much? I thought I saw someone else ask but cannot find it or an answer.

I bought it and put it on myself.

Thanks! I locked it all up and tried to back out of my driveway. It is tore up right now, soon getting a new driveway poured. I tried to back out, and it would not turn at all. haha. That's expected, but still feels really weird.

I'll find my receipt tomorrow and let you know where I got it and how much.

Today my new Bestop trektop shipped in, plan on installing on my next day off Thursday after school. It was this or was gonna be a rear Dana 44 deal someone was offering me. I decided to go with this and take care of by far the biggest issue with my Jeep right now:

my back window is completely held on by fishing line... I know

Spent 2 Days welding drivers seat mount for Pioneer 4 Ch amp, re-wiring soundbar and front speakers with thicker gauge speaker wire and cleaning out sand that magically appeared EVERYWHERE I lifted the carpet up lol

Sound is definitely improved but the Pioneer 2 way 6x9’s dont have as great a sound as expected - any feedback on boosting bass without the rattly sound? Was thinking mdf speaker boxes in the back on the wheel tubs...

Looks like no more cages. Bumpers and sliders only. Thanks.

It looks like they are in AZ. I will hit them up if I can and see what gives!

 

[Rescue6]

I have that cage as well. They quit selling due to legal liability.

I cleaned up some old wiring as I’m installing the RC MLC6 switch pod set up. So far I’m really happy with it. Seems like a very high quality set up for less than half what an SPOD runs

Doesn't look as cool as yours, but still pretty cool, but I don't think you could fold your windshield down with this one,
