This pandemic gave us a lot of self reflections in life.
The chance to keep up the mods and maintenance that we never had the time
Down deep in our hearts, it's all good!

Had to take it back to the shop after I did... I'm telling you guys you'll get the pictures when I get the jeep back
I promise. If not you guys can kick me out
The exit restriction also has its good sides. although i am still waiting for parts so i can finish my seats, But there is so much to do at the TJ that I decided to tackle my front axle.
the lower nut size 27 mm then forced me to stop. I do not have 27 mm wrench socket ☹
I ordered immediately, of course, and again I'm doomed to wait.

Modified my Thule bike rack so I can fold it up when not in use and keep it on the Jeep.....literally was 1/4" short (red), so drilled a new hole for a pin (yellow). 70 and sunny today - time to ride the bike!
Picked up the TJ from the shop. Pinion Seal, Bearings, U-Joints, Rear Diff Service. Just supporting that local business!
Now we are going down the SYE Rabbit Hole.

Decided it was time to touch up/repaint my scratched up tow hooks. Came out pretty good IMO!
made some brackets.. for some lights. still waiting on primer to dry. Here are some fab pictures
Talk to me about these Amber running lights! I’m looking to do something similar, just wanting incandescent though.
The lights are Quadratec 6" round spot lights. I've had them them about 6 months now, works great and easy to hook up! Connects right to the factory fog light connectors! I ordered the amber covers around the same time and they took a while to get here. They just snap onto the light with a few tabs and feel pretty stable. Been through storms and car washes with no problem! (Sorry, I don't have a picture on hand with the lights on with the amber covers on)
Cleaned up the new flywheel, clutch and pressure plate. I put a coat of high temp primer and paint not for looks really, but for a little corrosion control. Cleaned up the seal plate between the motor and transmission, it was really caked with oil and dirt buildup. Started pulling the oil pan. I thought I could get it off without removing the exhaust, nope. No possible way to get the oil pan off without pulling the exhaust pipe. I figured I'd have take cutting torch to the exhaust bolts at the manifold, but a little PB Blaster and they came right out. I didn't even break one. I'm pretty happy about that. I think I will drink a cold refreshing Coors Light now. Today was a good day.

I bought some Hella yellow lenses fog lights that came with incandescent h3 bulbs. Got them on eBay. They come from India and take a little while to get here. The paint is thin and the opening they the wires go through does not seal well. Nothing some paint and a different grommet and RTV couldn’t fix. I’ve been happy with them for a couple years now.

Got the Clover Patch window roll https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/trektop-nx-storage-solved.13285/post-549790
Bag is perfect size but seems a bit thin. Shall see if it holds up

Pure metal fab porn right there.
The only thing you could have done to top these simple yet beautiful tabs would be to have tig welded the sides to the base.
Very nice job indeed.
