You gotta eat those shells!
As for me, I drove it around and took a dam picture.
2 things....
1.) @Superjay5 - I am going to need to see more of this hood/fender setup you have got. Looks very nice!
2.) I need directions to clownworld, Westtown willy has got the right idea for a Sunday!

1) afraid you will have to wait abit, tore it all apart to get it ready to paint. They are the poison spyder 3” taper high lines.
2) no clue, but if you find out let me know!
Power washed off some mud. Cleaned it up a bit- undercarriage, engine bay, and interior. Got rid of the tube bumpers and put on some stock ones.
Decided to fully take out my carpets and clean them, they were pretty nasty. All this dirt is just from the two side rear carpets, the others had a lot more. Glad I decided to clean them
Also found some rust in the rear footwells unfortunately, it seems like there might have been water pooled there for a while- it's also visible on the bottom. Don't think there's anything I can do about it besides welding in a new piece of metal so I'll leave it for now, might be a good project if I learn to weld since it will be hidden under carpet anyway
It also looks like the previous owner cut a hole in the tub to access the rear upper shock bolts on the driver side like a lot of people on here have done, so one less thing I have to worry about. Not sure what the plug towards the front is for however, I think neither of these is factory but I'm not positive
Now I just have to clean up the tub and then get the carpets back in the next nice day I get

I also found the jack and got the back seat put back in the right spot.
Actually since this system has all the controls on the microphone i decided to mount the system out of the way, so i put it under the passenger airbag switch, and it fit perfectly. I have it plugged into the cigarette lighter for now but will eventually just wire it straight up. And hid the wires behind the center console.
I would like to have seen some PBR cans stacked in a pyramid with all them peanuts eaten instead of a single half drunk Miller

I really hate chrome tube bumpers! That’s what was on my TJ when I bought it. It didn’t take me long to get some Smittybilt 2 stage powder coated bumpers with a winch & also some side steps. I’ve included “before & after” pics.

Insulated the doors on the TJ today with Noico 80 and also got the rods in the door bent to where I could flip the door handles backward like a YJ. Something wrong with my locking mechanism on the passenger side so I’ll have to see how to fix that.
Finished installation of the Noico sound deadening material and got the front Bedrug put in this weekend. My supervisor wanted to be in the photo....

Also bit the bullet and ordered the rubber floor pan cover since mine had multiple tears/holes. This should also help with the sound being transmitted into the cabin...

After 4 cans of Eastwood internal frame rust encapsulator sprayed, I sprayed two full cans of rust reformer paint inside my frame this morning. If I ever feel rust flakes again, I will know neither work and give a shit review.
p.s. Tape every hole in your frame and that shit will still drip/pour out of the very front and rear of the frame.

What's the point of doing that on a convertible, if you don't mind me asking? NOTHING reduces noise on a TJ, including hard tops. I've had several and they aren't quiet and don't keep heat in any better than a soft top. They're good for one thing, $500-800. That's it.

Pulled the gas tank to fix the overflow valve. Will be putting the tank back in this week. No way the electrical connection at the tank was coming off. Had to cut the line and will splice it together with another connection. Will be nice to have a fix for filling the tank. I tried the GM fix to no avail.

Finally got around to installing the rear axle, but because I’m dumb, I didn’t finish. I have a Currie adjustable rear track bar and extended rear brake line on its way.
I was going to go with the X grip, but was unaware of the new one until I ran across that video. Picked up a pair of the XL for the Moab trip and loved them.
