You might want to flip those bolts attaching to the tranny skid so the nuts are topside.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Where them OEM fogs at? you need to send em to me since you got the Led,s lol
You need the 4 1/4 Rubi or Sahara flares they are a bit deeper on the sides as well as wider so they hold their shape better at the bends.

D’oh! On my phone without zoom they looked stock. Looks good. Nice and clean.
Forgot. I always hated the TJ shifter. I put a YJ shifter knob on and i love it FYI give it a shot

Working on my new sound system... Day 3
Rockford Fosgate in-dash and in the soundbar. Alpine CDE 172BT. (Now to find the brackets to mount that in properly.)
Again, I am mechanical... I'll work on motors, but electrical and I don't get along.

You should have shopped at Crutchfield. It took me around an hour to install everything (stereo and 4 speakers). All plug and play on mine though. All Hardware and adapters included.
Drove it around. Hosed it down to take bird crap off it and cleaned the Bilstein 5100 shocks with this

Spent most of the day grinding off the head of the forward recovery hook bolt that spun its nut inside the frame. The objective was to get the rear bumper off, so I can do some cleanup/rustproofing of the rearmost part of the frame - which is the rustiest on this Jeep. Not bad, but needs attention. Then I can install the rear bumper braces (Next Venture Motorsports), and put the stock rear bumper back on for the time being as I'm not quite ready to get the new one fabbed up.
Note to self: 3 inch hoop earrings are a nuisance when working under the Jeep. Wear something smaller next time!
Good point Zorba , Additionally was the face shield just an afterthought or couldn't you find an ANSI approved Veil ?
Hope things go smoothly with the bolt removal !
Fresh out of ANSI approved veils, damn it! Sometimes ya just gots to do whatcha gots to do!Good point Zorba , Additionally was the face shield just an afterthought or couldn't you find an ANSI approved Veil ?

All bolts off, bumper on the ground. Wire wheeling is next...
Great news! beat that rust back before it beats you!
Good move on using the outboard bumper braces: simple , strong , easy to install.
I've got 99% of what I need to fab my own rear bumper - but as I haven't run a bead in probably 40 years or more, somebody else is going to do the actual welding. But I'm tired of looking at these braces, so I'm going to get them put on.
I got her caught naked in a thunderstorm today...It was fine as long as I was moving, but I got caught behind someone afraid of driving in rain so I got drenched LOL and it's all good

Replaced rear sway bushings with some white lithium grease. Hopefully stop the squeaking from the rear.
Also put some stuff on the back of the front brake pads to stop them squeaking too.
Did some more online shopping and got some LED driving lights from Australia. Hopefully get them next week to install. A brand called Stedi if anyone has heard of them. Pretty good quality
Then took the Chevy out for a drive

Trying to convince Buddy my maniac Blue Heeler to stay out of it.

Probably from California. The instant a drop of rain falls from the sky, Californians invariably slow to 20 under - and that's the good ones!
Thanks; I think I just might do that on my next set of days off.
