Novak Conversions Jeep Wrangler TJ engine mounts

What did you do to your TJ today?

Picked up some Purple Power for a deep engine bay and underbody clean this weekend.

Replaced the light in the auto shift indicator.

Ordered NOS Fogs, keeping our TJ Nostalgic


NOS KMC Fogs, I’m a sucker for Amber Lights.

I ran some very similar to those on my 1979 IH Scout II back in the early 80's... I like the old school look.
I miss that ride, but sold it for a down payment on a house..

Went to Home Depot to find something to use for my grab handle I made that the uppers hold in place. Saw the line to get in while I was driving down the road so I made a u turn and went home. Went to the garage and had a look around. Found a couple bolts and washers and now I can take my uppers off and still have my grab handle. :D

I never understood why fog lites went away from amber - anybody know? I always thought the amber color helped (slightly) - if you've ever experienced Tulle Fog in California's central valley at nite, you'll know what I'm talking about! My old MBZ has (stock) amber fogs on it too.
 
Finally pulled the trigger on an SYE and some adjustable arms. Only took 18 years!

Went with the Advance Adapters kit, Adams driveshaft and Savvy upper rear arms. Only have a 2” lift so I’m hoping to get away with just doing the uppers.

Once I can ditch the t-case drop I’ll install the UCF transfer case skid that’s been sitting in my garage for a year and a half!

My spirit animal, apparently:

 
Not quite what i did to my TJ, but what I did for my TJ. I freed up garage access by building a trailer parking pad off the lane and getting the trailers out of the front driveway.

Room for 2 or 3 trailers.
Plus a senior friendly FLAT back yard.

Lord knows when I'll be able to get rid of the demolition shit on the trailer, right now the dump is only taking household shit. Demolition and yard waste are not classed as "essential dumping".
That is a great view you have there of the mountains.

A couple of months ago, I installed an Atoto A6 Pro Android head unit. I liked it well enough, but the UI was dull, and the sound wasn't very good. It lacked any bottom. Today I installed a launcher app from Agama, and the Poweramp app for a music player. More way better. The UI has some pizzazz now, and the player work very well. I've actually got some bass.
I installed one of those upgraded headlight harnesses from K Suspension. We'll see if it makes a difference on my drive to work at o'dark thirty Monday morning. I wasn't too impressed with the strand count on the hot lead. The insulation is thick, leading one to think that it's a heavier gauge wire than it really is. We'll see.
Oh, and I washed it. :-)
