What did you do to your TJ today?

I've got my Pinion angle set...axle rotated...so the plug is not in a good spot and below the level...any good recommendations for a weld in bung and plug set? I'd love to replace the factory rubber plug with a metal bung.

Ha, that might be the best course of action. I was cussing all over the garage.
Safety wire? I was just going to use some vice grips to hold the place today. That was one of my mistakes yesterday, also need a new crimper, one I have is garbage.
The vice grips are so heavy when you go into the vehicle to test the travel action they’re going to take up any slack
Safety wire is just thin stainless steel wire that you can twist it will eventually break but you can get it for the tight
I purchased some good crimpers and man they are really worth the money
Good point, I’ll try some wire. I just got a new cable and have it routed. Unlike yesterday I’m going to wait until I have another set of hands to lock it in. Also going to get some new crimpers.
The brand that Harbor freight sales that has the burgundy handles is pretty good I can’t remember the name- I was so stupid I didn’t realize it had an insulated and non-insulated set up and went right through some wire Insulation- I had never had a good set before-
It is a little aggravating that it is a one shot deal - A barrel nut at Lowe’s might work - But it’s going to really spread the wire strands- Typically you want just a little bit of movement in the throttle before it engages but it doesn’t need to be sloppy- They really do change the game Offroad and can make the difference in ending up on your side or not.
I am picking my getting up some breakfast but I’ve got an idea if you’ll give me a minute I’m going to look at my throttle linkage- There may be a way to do one of these were it’s a little simpler and elimiates the loop-

Hand throttles use a bicycle shifter cable don’t think? I feel like you’re overthinking this…
X2 This is why someone with a CJ-2A is content with their Jeep going down the road at 40 mph.
60 Gross hp. and 5.38 gears reel in the chassis shortcomings, ( and there are many shortcomings ).
The minute a 327 sbc is put in front of that T-90, shit becomes real MUCH faster then it should.
Sometimes we all work so hard to "improve " a TJ , the only path forward is a tandem trailer behind a Cummins.
I’m not going to be finishing it for a bit so you’re good!
Ehh maybe, I just went after it when I needed an extra set of hands and was too impatient to wait.
I have been looking at this off and on for a couple of years because they have made it so hard with that design to hijack the throttle assembly with a 3rd cable- I just took a look at mine and I’ll keep thinking on it I thought I was going to have some kind of an Epiphany -I know exactly what you’re up against-
Took the dog for a walk and ran into this beauty!!!
I have cruise and I think I put it along side that attachment
You are correct sir. Was thinking of an after market cover. I had the problem with one.
Here’s a giant 
To the teraflex hand throttle install 
First cable too long, second loop too small, third try is a charm. Can’t believe that was such a complex task for me.

Installed a new exhaust manifold on my 2.5l. Took me about 5 hours start to finish, probably an hour of that was cleaning gunk out of my intake. Also had the cut the bolts of the flange between the manifold and the down flow pipe. Other than that it was all smooth sailing. The rear bolt I thought was broke was actually just missing, but I couldn’t see due to the location. Engine was noticeably quieter when I fired it up and smoked like a sum bitch burning the oils off the new cast iron.
