What did you do to your TJ today?

Received my "anchor point" I'm putting in the back of the garage so I can spool on line in my driveway. I needed to drill a pair of 1/2" holes in it. Well, I learned something new today! My little Harbor Freight drill press really isn't good for much over about 3/8" in heavy steel, although it did fine up to that point. So I broke out "Old Granddad", a huge 1/2" slow speed drill I inherited from my late father. That made short work of this job! Dad bought that drill, a "Thor", for $100 in about 1949, and it wasn't new then. Best I've been able to figure out, it was apparently made in the 30s sometime.
Sounds like Old Thor is cable of giving you some busted knuckle. I have a 1/2 Inch Milwaukee that bust your wrist if you get it stuck.
 
Installed some G2 axles. Should hopefully fix my seal woes and now have a pretty bulletproof Dana 44.
