What did you do to your TJ today?

Oh it would be cool.. but I get nervous when I find wires left in a vehicle from PO.. I would start from scratch if you want it done correctly
Thanks, once I figure how to put pictures up I’ll show you what I got.
There is a link that you can use to input your V.I.N. and it will show you what your Jeep came with from the factory. I don't have to.e this morning to look it up but if I believe it is in the resources section of the forum.
Yes. You remove the two bolts at the front of the seat, slide the box in, line up the holes, and put the bolts back.
Installed my Savvy Under Armour last night. It was quite challenging installing the outer Cs. Required 2 large C clamps and some vise grips with a longer bolt to crank down and close the gap to attach the inner C uppers to the outer Cs. When @mrblaine says he made the outer Cs tight and curses every time he installs them, I know exactly what he means now. Nevertheless, it is mostly installed. For some reason, the holes on the skid for the lower C bracket bolts to recess into only align on passenger side. It seems as though I'm going to have to ream out the driver side so the bolts can recess when installing the skid. Anyone else have this issue?
By the way, I had zero clearance issues between the tub and the transfer case. Go figure

That's one of the challenges designing for the TJ. The frame rails move around a bunch and those holes are not a snug fit, there is some room in there and it's still not enough. Just so you know, I've put on several where the bolt heads hit dead center in the holes.
What is your rim tire combo? Been considering those rims. Is your LJ stock height? Are you running spacers?
I'm diggin that look. Very nice Jeep.
I get it. Hardly anything on either of my TJs has been consistent other than inconsistency. Interestingly enough, I have at least a half inch of clearance between my transfer case and my tub without having had to dent my tub or manipulate it at all. Same thing with my exhaust, no manipulation or rework needed. By the way, love the design of the crossmember and skid system.
Was going to install my MCE's today, but it looks like it's gonna rain...
Soooo I did a rear fender delete instead.
(Will clean everything up after the primer dries)

Drove it to work, to lunch, back to work today while it rained overnight and all day so far. Dry passenger floor. Yay!
Thanks! I'm liking how its turned out so far!
I have what I think is a 2" skyjacker lift that a previous owner installed, no spacers, the tires 32x11.5 Falken Wildpeak at3w and the rims are 15x8 steel trail masters with a backspace of 4.5"
Wish I had smaller hands when bolting the skid to the cross members. Not looking forward to removing it when I finally add a Rubicrawler. Like the skid setup once installed though.
Me too. I found putting the flange nut on the crossmember rail, then putting my finger on top of the flange nut and sliding it over the hole, and then running the screw up into the flange nut worked better than trying to fit my entire hand up in there.
Not all in a day but this month anyway... New JCR Bumpers and sliders as wells as some new shoes... Before and After
Dropped the LJ off at a shop Chris recommended for a Sye and new rear drive shaft. Hopefully that'll cure the vibes in the rear after installing the lift.
Ordered a savvy engine skid today! Time to really play in the rocks come April!
Thank you, I purchased the Jeep in January with all the Smittybilt stuff and 20" rims, the rims were the first to go.
Found the link for you just in case you haven't yet... Make sure you use all caps, no lower case letters, when you type your VIN into the search window. It will pop open a PDF page showing you everything your Jeep came with when it was built.
