What did you do to your TJ today?

Paint. Easier touch up

The Sahara's are fender flair paint matched. I like them. I just hated the green seats, so I got the Sport. I had my top paint matched from the factory to go with my white paint, and I love it compared to the interior sand color match or black, but I do agree that too much paint matching can be overkill. Paint matching the fender flairs looks nice, like on the Sahara's. But, paint matching the bumpers seems overkill and gaudy to me. In the end, it is up to the artists perception, and basically you are the artist making those choices.
 
Finally got around to making some adjustments on my cable shifter. Feels a little better and more positive going into 4L.

Also did a cruise underneath to revisit some known issues and keep an eye on them. Nothing too concerning and everything will eventually be repaired as part of other upgrades. All "leaks" are really only weeping to make things oily and dirty, not dripping.

-Front pinion weeping will eventually get fixed with axle regear and upgrade.
-Oil pan gasket will get replaced at same time as RMS.
-Plan to do transmission pan gasket with SYE.
-The 231 seems to be weeping a little around the full plug. Will revisit with SYE.

Oh and there was evidence that the rear track bar was ever-so-slightly touching the gas tank skid (3" lift with relocation bracket). Put an adjustable wrench on the edge that was rubbing and created roughly an extra 1/2" of clearance.
 
Any specific brand? Got a link?

That's a lot more LHD vehicles than I was expecting. Are there many in NZ?

If they’re originally from the US 🇺🇸 then yes they’re all left-hand drives… ( unless you imported a postal Jeep ) 😉
All new cars in NZ or if imported from Japan are right-hand drive.

Just installed a BTF dash bar I acquired off market Place

Whoa mate what’s with the pillar box front windshield 😮 is that legal to black out most of it over there?
Down here we are allowed about 3 inches of dark tint across the top but that’s it.
Did you paint the bar to match the dash ? looks good.
