What did you do to your TJ today?

first rule of EMS, don’t create another victim. I always ask my wife, do you need a snack or just the kids?
Oh, heard that more than I can count (volunteer firefighter and EMT).

My wife knows, if she doesn't speak up she ain't getting anything 😂
 
Today I figured out that the LED 3157s from SuperBrightLED.com I had installed in the front facing turn running lights were the cause for the Wonky Lighting Issue I was having.

Every other bulb is LED. Pretty sure the relay is replaced. The bulbs added so little benefit I am done trouble shooting the issue..

Made sure the new refrigerator will fit where I wanted to mount it. Amazon had these on a early Prime Deals so I couldn't pass it up. It weighs as much and has a much room as the small soft side Yeti i was using. This will have more room since I won't need ice.

I'm probably going to move the amp to the driver rear floor board just to give the fridge more air space. Also debating on to put the controls forward or backwards when I secure it. I'm debating wiring it up to a switch on my Auxbeam panel or directly to the battery. To the battery will allow it to stay running when we stop for lunch, break, or to get others through an obstacle. However, I'll have to remember to turn it off at the end of the day.

I've got to let it sit for 24-hours upright before powering it, so when I get home from work travel Wednesday, I'll make sure it works good.

My fridge has an auto shutoff for low voltage that you can set to 3 different values, maybe this one does this too?
 
Appreciate the effort, sir!

I'm currently taking recommendations on good nutsert/rivnut tools, gentlemen... :geek:

I've also scheduled some therapy for next week so I can deal with drilling holes in Tess's virgin tub... 🥺:D

I used this one off Amazon, worked great for the few nutserts I had to do for the metalcloak sliders. DURATECH 16" Rivet Nut Tool,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9S9N9PD?tag=wranglerorg-20

Just finished up this morning.

That's very similar to the one I have, it sucks. Maybe that one is a bit better.

Like I said it worked for the six nutserts I had to install, but I have no idea what the difference is between this Chinese tool and all the other Chinese tools on Amazon, but I think this had decent reviews. The housing is some kind of composite/plastic so I can see how the threads that hold the threaded insert on the head could wear out with repeated use/tool changes.

Repaired the center console to reattach the lid to the hinge. Original screws from hinge to lid had sheared off in the plastic under the PO. Used JB Weld and some 1/2” machine screws and nuts as the repair.

If it doesn’t hold, an ammo can console might be a future upgrade but don’t want the 17-year old hounding me relentlessly about that
project.
 
Nice.

Curious if you made a fix yet to the bracket that got overly acquainted with the grinder while getting that T-55 out on your track bar project?

I have the bracket in hand, was quoted $250 to replace it, but now the lower perches on the rear coils could use a replacement, so I'm going to swap out the fronts and see how they are(perches), are combine it all into one repair.

I'm also going to buy a mig/flux core welder to learn on. My daughter's bf knows how to weld, he's not a pro by self evaluation, but he's going to teach me the basics.
