Nice! I’ve been thinking about trying to build something myself. Do you happen to have your measurements of all your cuts handy where you could snap a picture to share?
What did you do to your TJ today?

Have a Tacoma for winter to save the Jeep from the midwest salt. Yeah, the 2nd worst vehicle for frame rust, lucky me.

This is what we used. I used 2 1/2" casters instead. I get my Jeep back tomorrow and plan to pull the top for the season in the next couple days. I'll update with pictures when we do, assuming it works as planned.

I bought a welder and learned how to fix an exhaust leak and painted my skid plate.
Started installing my Yaesu 400xdr ham radio. Then I ordered the Vanco 16” big brake kit from black magic brakes along with the hydro assist steering bracket kit for my PSC hydro assist set up. Then I had to get the black magic brakes blue billet brake master cylinder covered bling to go along with it as well.

Skid looks great. What product / brand did you use? I need to eventually do the same.....but damn this isolation has made me lazy!!
Popped the driver side door panel off and pulled the window. Inspected the outside door handle sawtooth retainers and gave them a couple good taps. Made sure the spring stops were fully engaged with the sawtooth retainers. Outside handle is no longer loose. Less than an hour's work. Easy peasy,

Made a 6 hour round trip road trip and picked up a set of Corbeau RS seats with brackets for $300.

Began the project of wiring my hardtop using @Jamison C 's extremely helpful and detailed instructions. Got the dash harness done and eureka! It has power!

I did a coat of Primer and a can of black rustoleum glossy black. I banged out a whole bunch of dents and did 2 coats.
Honestly I don't think it will look good for long its skid plate.
No tricks. Super simple. I drained the radiator, removed the 2 heater hoses and the top radiator hose. The biggest pain is the plastic cover over the wire bundle next to the firewall. I'm not sure which year they started using that, my '00 didn't have it but my '04 did. If yours has it, take your time and remove it to get good access to the back bolts. AND, make sure you clean all the surfaces really well and only use a FelPro gasket. I'm putting it back together today, but the total job will only be 2-3 hours.

Yah, I noticed that’s the location for a lot of TJ’s that I see ‘for sale’ in lots, up here in the NE. Interesting how its that spot more often. Least from what Ive noticed.
Where did you find the washer switch? Doesn't look like a factory Mopar switch.

I actually found it on Amazon it's a Standard brand replacement:

Keep track of those rubber grommets. You won't find them online if you lose one.
