What did you do to your TJ today?

[psrivats]

The new seats are in much more comfortable then the old ones.

Those look great. I've been contemplating getting new seat cushions in the front. Could you please share what model these are? How do you like the comfort compared to a typical modern car seat?

I ended up out there when just driving around a few weeks ago. a hidden gem.
the way i ended up there was less fun. Went out for a dive in the sun after work and drove straight north then went straight west, ended up passing nexteer (not familiar with the area) and ended up in the slums of saginaw, my way out i went south and stumbled across it. nice place, roads were all very narrow and dusty out there.

It is a beautiful place. If you go shortly before sunset you'll see alot of deer. It's nice to see something like this so close to home. If you ever head up again, take Dixie hwy. Up to Curtis Rd. It takes you right in there.

Took my gas tank skid plate from thisView attachment 112741
to this.View attachment 112747View attachment 112751
I'm going to assume the skid plate and tank have never been separated so that's 17yrs of accumulated dirt, rocks, sand, and vegetation.

how was the access to all the bolts ?

how was the access to all the bolts ?

I was able to access all the nuts easily. Be sure to spray them a day before and unlike all other fasteners on these TJs, these fasteners are SAE. Takes a 1/2" socket or wrench.

At this point I think I have removed and reinstalled about half the fasteners on this TJ.

Installed my roof rack... F@!-i°ng pain to install btw but couldn't expect more for the price.
No rattling though and now I can go get anything I want from Home Depot/Sears without having to worry if it fits!

Previous owner had a full spool in the Dana 44. Not good for a mallcrawler and a dirt road rig. So I pulled the spool and replaced it with an open carrier. If I decide I need it later I’ll drop in an Aussie Locker.

My “shop” and work space

 

[tomtaylz]

How much did that cost you?

About $300, mobile detailer he came to me. I was happy with the price especially in the Bay Area.

As said on the other thread, this is useless without pictures.

Gotta have pictures

Finally got around to a few maintenance items.

• R&R'd all four O2 sensors
• R&R'd the transfer case switch
• defeated the beverage warmer feature.
• Slurpee run (Faygo Orange!)- maintenance for myself and to test bullet #3.

My transmission floor pan cover/gasket is in need of replacement, but that wasn't the reason why I sipped hot Mountain Dew the other day. A couple months ago while changing the trans and t-case fluids, I found a plug that I couldn't locate the source. . . until today. The mystery plug was for the rear/main catalytic converter. The bung plug was likely removed when I had the new muffler welded in. The bung points right at the front cup holders, which no longer will instantly melt icy drinks.

Reinstalled my gas tank and skid plate. Looks a little better now.

 

[jeepndogs]

Made the decision that since I can’t drive it I need to sell it.

 

[smokediver1081]

Installed some more lights. Flush mounted the rear lights with some round LED’s and an LED reverse light. Just FYI. The YouTube videos don’t show the problems you run into doing this. With that said they look great IMO.

Making this DIY Tailgate Video

I spent a little bit more than advertised. Dunno how he got that price but I paid around 50 bucks for everything I used. I'm also drilled in cupholder holes into the table and stained it grey to match my Jeeps interior. I could have just stained the wood but I wasn't fond of the whole school desk look. In any case, I'll have it completely finished tomorrow for a final result and breakdown of everything I did.

I envy how clean your garage floor is. With all the disassembly, grinding, welding, and random parts from my project my work space is getting hard to work in. But I'm coming into the home stretch so a lot of the random parts floating around are beginning to find homes.

I got 35s (wheels and tires) for dirt cheap so I couldn’t resist throwing them on. I used some adapters thar kicked them out 1.25”. I don’t have a lift but they only rub on the control arms at full lock. I have 4.10s and it honestly runs down the road fine.

I like to keep things tidy. Nothing worse than rolling around on the creeper and getting stuck on random debris.
