What did you do to your TJ today?

Bumper refreshed… and me too 😋
New black slimline numberplate that just disappears into the bumper much better than the big ugly white one that hung down below the bumper like a buck-tooth.
( I just need to source some better bolts than the ones that came with the new hooks)

Used my lockers last night for the first time since getting the front axle seals replaced. BOTH locker lights constantly flash now. I'm sure there's nothing they could've done to screw up both of them. They both worked fine last time I used them. I need to see if they're actually working later today.
 
Yeah, just starting to feel old early. Sit on the concrete floor, get up to go get the right tool, lay down on the concrete floor, get up to get a different tool cause the bolt is stuck......add variables.... rinse and repeat.

Man, I know how you feel! I installed the Savvy body and motor lifts, and started the Savvy transfer case cable installation this weekend. By Sunday night, I felt like I'd been dragged behind a horse!

Been there, done it....too many times.
Getting down not so bad it's the getting up over and over that gets ya...lol
 
Ordered up replacement rear spring perches from Ballistic. Looked at Artec (took freaking big), GR (meh on their design for me; I didn't see where they space down to account for the stock centering bump area), RC (it's the same GR product), Dorman (Stock shape - I really wanted these and couldn't find them available anywhere).

I like the idea that the Ballistic version include the clamp to hold the spring in place and add back to stock spacing that the OEM bracket has for the bumpstop.

Evap codes P0442, P0455, P0456, and P1494 and misfire P0303 successfully solved! Found this cracked
elbow off the intake and followed that to see these two evap lines looking a bit wet. Bought some 3/8" evap line and replaced them, as well as crafting a jerry-rigged replacement for the elbow with 1/4" line to a hose barb and a 3/8" elbow that I think is meant for the PCV. After a short drive the CEL turned off! Such sweet relief.
