What did you do to your TJ today?

Pulled off the fender flares on daughters 97. I guess my other TJ’s don’t have inner fender liners on the rears. I didn’t even know they were a thing, but man they’re a pain to deal with if you have to get behind them.
Left my Jeep parked at this guy's house for the last 4 days. I came to pick it up and it had been "overshined."

Yep I usually take them out for the process.a good ratchet wrench and some antisiez also.
Cool. I thought the link looked too short but as long as the sway bar arms aren't sloped downward when sitting on a nice flat surface you're OK.
I was on a time crunch and it wasn’t immediately obvious how to remove them.

Ordered a NTK O2 sensor. Really a fuel sensor. Trying to get it to pass emissions. If the NTK #23160 sensor doesn’t fix it I’m taking it to a Jeep dealer to get some wiring done pursuant to TSB 25-005-13-A where a rewire needs to be done when the CAT, 02S, and the HTR won’t clear out on the I/M monitor status

Did he run it thru the mud and then clean it back up?

No, he cleaned all of his vehicles with some new ceramic coating and tire protectant. Then he figured he'd try it out on mine.
p.s. I kept the keys when I left it there.

I can't wait to get mine detailed. It needs it. Then I'm going to paint the bumpers black and put Cerakote on all the plastic trim to really make it shine.
This is after two coats of Cerakote. Rubbish product that didn't work for me. I bought all new flares and now it looks great! See here for a pic: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-tj-today.1784/page-2549#post-1486710

Picking up my OE front bumper from the powder coater. Had them do the tow hooks and 6 bolts. What do I coat the bolts with so they don't rust in place? Anti-sieze, thread lock, nothing? Should I torque them?
Also putting new bleach bottles on. Any advice on that hardware?
Once I get that in place, mounting new Rigid 4" fog lights. Found a good price at jeepandtruckparts.com. They had great service.

I did a routine oil & filter change today & I also lubed the chassis. ‘First time I’ve used my new Lock & Lube grease gun. I love this thing! It’s easily the best grease gun I’ve ever used. ‘Very clean. ‘No mess at all & VERY easy to use.
Everyone should have one of these.

Installed the Baja Designs S1 wide cornering LEDs on some cheap Amazon clamps and positioned them on the tire carrier. Wiring them in was super simple since I spent so much time organizing the aux power box.
I also did something I thought I’d never do: install something made by Rough Country. I was tired of using a shovel handle as a hood prop—the stock prop rubs the Mishimoto radiator—so I installed their gas strut hood prop setup. Not happy with how to bends the radiator supports when opened all the way without supporting the hood: they kind of flex. May need to adjust them a bit.

WOW that is a clean engine bay!
