I'm probably going to have somebody else do this - its a simple enough job, but messy, cramped without a lift or pit, and its heating up here in Florida. I may change my mind after I call a couple of shops though.
What did you do to your TJ today?

LOL, you might. When I did mine, I thought to myself that it could be costly to have a shop do it.
Ordered 67 designs roll cage mounted phone holder and another for a GPS holder.
then got my tires rebalanced. I’ll adjust my parking brake and begin my big brake install tomorrow morning.

It wasn't cheap but the old seats were in really poor shape, only thing holding it together at the time was a seat cover haha. If I remember right it cost around a little over a $1000 for the front and rear seat
Check post #15,540.
He has links to the parts in his post.
I need to change my valve cover gasket, Just curious, did you use any gasket sealer?
Get a FelPro VC gasket. Comes with the gasket and grommets. No sealant is required.

@Cooz always FelPro gaskets. Came with the grommets @Fonz54 mentioned. Ordered from RockAuto.com The job took just over an hour, most of it spent trying to remove the wiring harness from the plastic housing over the back of the valve cover. I didn't have any issues with the heater hoses as others have mentioned.
I just did the same, finger crossed
And removed the snake oil CAI the PO put on then installed the stock air box. I also added a rubber bumper to my hood so it doesn't make me cringe everytime I rest the hood on the light bar.
From what I understand the CAI filters are not very good at keeping the fine particles out of the engine. There is a study out there that shows just how ineffective a K&N style filter is at actually keeping dirt out of the engine. Sure it flows well, but doesn't do its primary job correctly and that's to filter the incoming air.

I just happened to look down and this was the mileage today.
Which means the new engine has almost 4000 miles on it. Runs awesome. Oil changes have looked great.

If the weather allows. I'm giving myself a full day just in case. The current fenders on the Jeep are very rusty. Probably a combination of the average TJ cancer and the poorly applied bed-liner on them. I want to clean up and reroute wiring and rust proof as I go. Have an idea for the side marker and need to see if I can stretch the loom under the battery trays. Fingers crossed.
