I installed the Savvy transfer case shifter last night and works great
What did you do to your TJ today?

Which one did you get? I got the cheaper Pavement Ends line one by BesTop and it's held up well so far, but I have had it up 100% of the time since I got it since they are a PITA to snap the latches on.
That sucks. There's nothing like doing routine maintenance and then having it all undone by a problem. Sounds like you are on it for the fix though.

I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DR150OA/?tag=wranglerorg-20
I have the frame, so really just needed the fabric. This one had decent reviews, and like I said, only planning on having it up while it rains and probably just driving my other car around so I'm not worried about road noise or anything. I could have gotten by with a tarp to be honest, but the landlords are a bit picky and don't exactly want a tarped up vehicle in the driveway (understandable haha).
But yeah, for real! the kid who had it before me hadn't changed the oil in like 2 years and had no problems at all. New oil change (the old stuff was black and gross) and now it's gushing oil lol. I'm convinced the old stuff was just too thick to seep through the gaskets.

Finished the install of my amp! Now to order the powered sub.

Nice! I just ordered that amp as well. Great bang for buck with a lot of power for speakers. Have you used your speakers with it yet?
I didn't do a thing to my LJ today, or yesterday.
But I did take it out and use it a bit on Father's Day.

I actually have that same amp running 4 - 6x9 JBLs and aM 350 running a 10 JL sub in my system in my Toyota truck. I love them. Can't beat them for the cost.
I'm running 5 1/4" Polk in the dash and 6 1/2" Kenwoods (soon to be polks) in the sound bar in my TJ. Sound is much clearer at higher levels.

Laid down a couple coats of primer during my lunch. Give it a few hours to dry and then I’ll be spraying it with the bed-liner next.

My seat covers arrived today:
I opened them during lunch and found they come shipped inside out. It was more of a struggle turning them right side out than I thought.
Began to put it on the seat, but it gets pretty tight over the widest part even when making sure nothing is turned under and that it's going on evenly. Decided it was more than a quick lunch break project if I wanted to have time to eat. Pulled it off as to not leave it half stuck compressing the vinyl for the next several hours. Found that it left marks when it was squeezing on the vinyl sides, it mostly came off with a damp cloth. Going to try again after work. Might ask my mother to come help — moms are great at putting slipcovers on things!
I have to say I like how the spice color stands out in a yellow jeep with gray and black in the interior.

That’s why they’re inside out 
you roll them down onto the top half of the seat

I thought that at first, but the instructions started with them right side out, so I figured I would do what was on them.
They are hard to work with — the material is like the soft top almost. Need to put them in the sun.
Damn, I did not know they were made in aluminum. I have the HF steel version. Its good for what it is intended for, light duty use.
In my day it was "Boss!"

And it’s done! 2 coats of bed liner just about finished off the can. I couldn’t do much with the little bit left so I hit a couple areas again with a heavy coat. The darker spots are where it was still tacky. I left it at the shop for the night and tomorrow I’ll grab some fresh hardware and start the install

That looks great!
They’ll loosen up over time.I thought that at first, but the instructions started with them right side out, so I figured I would do what was on them.
Installed a Barnes flush rear bumper and cut 6" off my tire carrier.
