What did you do to your TJ today?

Took it to Firestone for an alignment. It was off a hair, and has been ever since I've owned it. Now it isn't.

Is that moss growing on your engine block?
Lol just dirt n oil all good now
That’s the plan. $5 momentary push button from Amazon and I have a handful of relays and pigtails that I’ll make work. The horns are a year or two old so I’ll just reuse them as long as they didn’t get fried because currently there’s no sound even though the factory relay will stay energized as soon as I put it in the PDC. I guess I’ll figure it out when the switch arrives
Finally got around to installing my HomeLink garage door opener and put in a couple of switches. The one on the right is for the KC Main Beams and the one next to it is just for the amber accent light/back light. Was fun but took way longer than I thought it would.
I bought a new 1997 TJ for my wife. It runs and i love it but it need a ton of work and bits. Would 02 wheel arches go on a 97 ?

I finally got the billet grab handle mounted.
I bought it a year ago. Finally painted it a few weeks ago and got in installed today.
Now I need to take the upper grab handles off and paint them to match.

I looked at that billet grab handle on Amazon and wondered how well the paint would stick to it… looks good

I didn't do anything special before painting it, but I did give serious consideration to powder coating or anodizing it.
The upper grab hoops are anodized, but I dislike how black turns to brown when exposed to UV over time, so I didn't really want to make this match them.
Instead I considered PC for all 3 items, but this textured paint is what I used on the bumpers, side steps, and front side flares.
It looks good enough, and I can always touch it up if needed.
I'll end up painting the upper hoops now too, or having them all PC'd at some point.

I did my grab handles on the A pillar in the blue body colour and they seem to be holding up well… thanks for the advice
How often do you run as Haspin? I was out there for the first time a couple weeks ago. Looks like it could get wild.
This will be my first time. So I'm taking one of my Heeps that I would not be too upset if something happened opposed to my LS swapped TJ. I would have brought my other fomrerly 4 cylinder now 3cylinder Heep thats not rusted out where it matters, but bought it with a hole in the block and I made the hole bigger with a full throttle send off lol
Not today, but my annual summary since buying my TJ October 2021:
Cost, net of sold parts ~$2,500 not including any tools I designate as “also for the house” like the Milwaukee ones…
current mileage 37,950.

Added 3rd brake lights behind the wheel, shining out the empty lug holes…
Took him over for an emissions test. I like to get in early to avoid a line.
Tech running the test has a Cherokee on 33s. Recognized the 35s right away.
Soft top coming out of the basement today so this was first topless drive in... years.

Notice that my radiator was leaking when I was doing my oil change. So I got my spare Mopar radiator out of the attic and changed that too.
