What did you do to your TJ today?

Main power wiring done for the winch at long last:

Temp jumper on control solenoid for testing. "12 Volt Guy" in cab panel will be connected here...

500 amp fuse - I'm not enamoured of the floating connection, but it'll do for now...

#2 AWG positive lead.

Muscovite ducklings across the street.


Now I can join "Team Hero" for TJ fest! :D

Finished up painting and installed my newly built storage for the back of the Jeep.... now I can put all my shit in there and just lock the tailgate to keep it pretty secure. Also put some netting on the top to carry extra crap if needed.

This deserves a write up. I want to see how you did that.

way too much wire wheeling. got a corded angle grinder, a few wire wheel attachments, and spent a good amount of time working away at the factory paint and some rust, i didn’t have much rust to start with, but i got it all down to bare metal and then cleaned the surface, and primered then painted. here’s a pic of it before primer.

Made a holder for my 8”Tablet, it’s a work in progress. I may mount the ball in the change tray and I’m rethinking the holder, something that the tab slides into rather than relying on Velcro.

Also took my grandson for a little ride around the property in his new “big boy” car seat. ♥️

Actually it's a Samsung 8" Tab A, my original plan was to use my iPad but it's too big for the TJ. I'm still getting used to the GPS app I have, Gaia GPS, it used topo maps and you can load "tracks" on it from other sources such as the Michigan DNR, which has designated ORV Routes that are legal for vehicles 72"(?) and wider. It's way better than street based GPS.

Decided to remove the light bar over the windshield, it hardly worked, whistled, I don’t “night wheel”, and I like the clean lines without it. I also removed the rain guards on the door. Sadly there is some rust at the lower bolt hole on each side. I should take it as a win as it could be far worse. I’m a lousy painter! Can I sand down that area and hit with touch up paint and clear coat? I’m not sure I can get those parts removed. I don’t need perfect, just no rust. Really happy with the new look. Considering removing the lights by the windshield next.

I’d keep those pics handy in case you ever went to sell and found a suspicious buyer.
