What did you do to your TJ today?

[RangerTJ]

I found WALL E but cannot find IRobot or RoBo cop

There's a robot from iRobot in there, but since Robocop is a cyborg I don't think he'll be in there.

Some really obscure bots in there too.

Surprised to see the robot from Heavy Metal and the bots from Disney's The Black Hole.

Edt: @Paparock1

They also did one for cyborgs

Vincent and Max are there, but Old Bob and the soldier robots are not. The "Silent Running" robots are there, "Muffitt" from BattleStar Galatica, "Jinx" from "Space Camp"...

Steve Austin.

When I was a kid, he was the man.

Gort, Klatu mirada nicto!

Steve Austin.

When I was a kid, he was the man.

Me too!

So, me being me, I thought. "Hey! I'll grab the Six Million Dollar Man and let me boys enjoy it too!"

TLDR, it hasn't aged well.

Both of my boys are like "This is lame Dad. Was this considered good when you were a kid?"

Weeeeelllllll, not really?

The original Ultraman has aged much better, but then it was campy from the start. They actually enjoyed that when they were little.

It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized Ultraman was a sadist.

He always beat the tar out of the monsters for a while, and then when he got tired he zapped them with his specium ray to finish them off.

And as to what I did to my TJ today, I looked at it.

Going to be putting the half doors in storage and installing the full doors this weekend.

Can you find your favorite robot?

I don't see any of my favorite robots there.

Ok, back on topic

I put the aluminum armor on my 1/2 doors and new door keeper straps. I don't like nutserts so I just drilled the holes and put fender washers with a lock nut on the inside of the door skin. It will be spring before it warms up enough for me to paint them outside.

Now I just need the Motobilt tub armor and the Genright windshield armor and I should be fairly protected.

Got bored and didn't want to deal with the raw aluminum until spring. So I fired up the heater in the garage to get it a crisp 70°, taped off what I didn't want to paint, and spray bombed the aluminum.

Amazing match

Top close to finished

Amazing match

It's the same matte black I used on the aluminum rear armor and MC fenders. It's still got the new coat sheen in the picture. The only thing that is showing the TJ's factory black is the front part of the tub (where the decals are) and the hood. I'm thinking about getting the Motobilt front tub and cowl armor so they'll be covered too.

Looks like a fun rig man

I enjoy it, but most important my passenger princess (my 9 yo) enjoys it.

I stopped putting it off and flushed the radiator, heater core etc today…
Then the sun came out packing some heat so decided that today was the day for the new Bestop…
Not sure if I like the way the left-hand rear quarter window goes on they’ve changed the zipper configuration… loving the crystal clear windows tho’
Added a couple stickers too.

I'd try to get a refund since it's missing the much loved tramp stamp. @John Cooper would be disappointed.

Took the TJ on an early morning drive to celebrate my birthday today. Now, I'm off to work.

So the big question is, what does a 125 year old want for their birthday?
