Looks good, gives me hope for some touch up paint I need to do on the JK.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Drove mine this evening for the first time since replacing the exhaust manifold on Friday. It's unbelievable how much more pleasant it is to drive. I didn't realize just how loud the leak was until it was gone. Glad I didn't put that one off any longer.
I’ve looked into it when I was building my last one. That’s actually a good idea that I had forgotten about. I’ll have to check around for parts availability. I can’t remember off the top of my head what crank they use to stroke the 2.5L.
Hope you did it in the back yard
Absolutely lol I used my new lawn ornament ( my trailer ) for a workbench in my backyard lol
it looks like the Outback Adventure Products table

1. Solved the mystery of the toggling ASD relay in friends XJ; cam sensor had frayed wiring.
2. Re-troubleshot friends ‘01 TJ’s AC and determined that the compressor is getting 12V & solid ground but still won’t turn on despite the computer turning on the relay. Conclusion: bad compressor or clutch or something therein.
3. Finally got around to resolving the P301 in my ‘02. Put in a Bosch iridium gapped at about 0.032 & took it for a nice 20 minute test drive. Code is gone, just need monitors to be ready so I can pass my inspection. I should probably do the other plugs as well but I wanted to be sure it was the plug first.
4. Went on a nice night drive on the north Texas backroads in my ‘97 with my friend with the TJ from #2 above. Weather was fantastic after the storms today. It’s been super hot and I’ve hardly driven either TJ at all over the past several months.

Thought I had fixed my dash light problem but while bouncing around on some corrugated gravel roads on the weekend it happened again…
Didn’t stop me going for a nice drive out to a surf beach called Raglan about two hours south west of me.
Waterfall is 180 ft tall
Finished off the day with waffles,peaches bacon and cream
(this was the first of way too many lol )

A little maintenance that I've been putting off for 3 years ...valve cover gasket.
Went ahead and cleaned the cover up real good too, before installing new grommets and CCV elbows and orifice.
The heat shield under the injectors was crumbling so I'm at a standstill until the new one is delivered tomorrow.

That's some fancy food.
I thought only Canadians called that bacon? It's called ham in the US. 
p.s. This is bacon.

I think it's called the "widow maker". Wives make them for their husbands when they want the life insurance money faster. My wife puts cheese and mayonnaise on mine, then deep fries the bread in butter. I guess I should have told her that I left all of my money to my cat. He supports WTJF and he got into this country legally. He got a FJB tattoo after the Vet cut his balls off.

Thanks. I thought about using an old ac compressor. Is it quick to fill a tire?
My son's 2003 TJ looks just like that and my daughter's 2004 TJ is starting to look like that.

What gasket did you go with? I used a FelPro when I changed mine in 2017.
Haven’t tried it yet. I plan on doing that soon. I’ve only owned the Jeep for about 4 weeks now. The PO says it’s fast. Ive started it and it was up to 80 psi in no time. He has a connection routed to the front and rear and a tank mounted underneath the Jeep. Overall it’s a nice setup. I have to think its faster then my portable I use in my JK.
same, Felpro. I actually bought it for my '99 and never got around to it, have had it in my toolbox and moved with it twice. I've been waiting for an opportunity when I was due for an oil change and had the time to do it. Not sure I really have any more time than I ever have but I finally got tired of adding to the filthy oil and dirt layer encapsulating the back end of the cylinder head.

Mine isn't that bad, but it's doing the same thing. It may just not look as bad 'cause it's red instead of black and I've avoided waxing it to not fill all the cracks with white wax residue.
Not today but yesterday….. Got it dirty!
