My old "pup" did the same thing. She also ate full grown rats and baby chicks.
p.s. She even ate a baby copperhead snake that she found out back.

That’s a great idea. I’ll keep that one in my back pocket.
I used an old shop fan that I was tossing. I cut a piece out of the mesh.
I have a piece of mesh stainless screen I bought to reinforce plastic welds...I think I'll use some for replacing that vent... everything in that dash tray ends up down that vent when things get western on the trail.
I think I got about $5 in change, four lighters, a dozen pens, nuts and bolts out of my dash when I did the heater core.

I mentioned my fix for the broken defrost grill about 3000 posts ago in this very thread:

Not sure if this is the right sub-forum because I personally didn't really do anything to my TJ today. However, I had the good sense to have a factory SKIM module installed and in so doing had the very good fortune to meet in person one of our forum's most knowledgeable and generous members: mrblaine.
Even though I'm a brand new forum member/TJ owner and a pretty green novice when it comes to vehicle maintenance, he and his friend Mike were beyond kind, patient and welcoming to me. Every question I asked (and I asked about much more than the SKIM module) was answered with simplicity and with an emphasis on helping me to understand why and how things worked the way it did rather than trying to demonstrate how much they knew and how little I know.
Oh yeah, although I went there to have the SKIM installed, mrblaine and his friend also end up (1) diagnosing and fixing my lingering tailgate problem such that it now actually closes properly for the first time in its life with me, (2) replacing my worn brake fluid cap and (3) the crappy aftermarket wingnuts holding the j-hooks to top of the battery, and (4) providing me an extra key for the new SKIM module. Did I mention that in they did all this without any request or comment simply because they saw an opportunity to help a new TJ owner get his rig in order?
Thanks mrblaine and I promise I won't say any other good things about you

It’s called Blue Driver. I got it for like $100 on Amazon. Works though Bluetooth and it’s actually pretty decent. It’s been very helpful in the two years I’ve owned it. I just leave it plugged into my Jeep then I can check whatever, whenever.
Had a nice day off so I decided to do some stuff to the ol Jeep. I rotated the tires and adjusted my toe in. Then I got around to fixing a broken rear shock bolt. Tried welding a nut to the top of the bolt under the rear fender liner but then I just snapped off that part too. I ended up just drilling through it and running a self tapping bolt through that bitch until I get the body lift on and have more room to work around in there.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking about ....... I guess great minds think alike ! LOL !
I like that JB Weld because it sets up fast and really holds good ..... fixed a crack in one of my door panels with it !

Gave her the first mechanical polish she’s ever had in 25 years. There were a ton of scratches and dull spots to get rid of.
This pic is after wash and clay bar;
After compound, polish and wax;
I’ve always been terrified of a mechanical polisher. Turns out, it’s very easy.

That looks great! Did you wax it after the polish to protect the finish?

Ok sat with Dad and Mom all morning. Got a break about 3:30 and ran to HF.
Picked this up
Texted the misfits in our group text and told them we were now a Jeep Co-Op and any of them that need it, it's here.
Then I got to work.
Had the tank dropped and pretty much ready for the new pump, which is supposed to be here Tuesday.
Cleaned up the old pump and found this, this is pretty much Orileys house brand. I ordered a Delphi from RockAuto.
