What did you do to your TJ today?

Good lookin Jeep! What is tummy tuck, removing the running boards and molding?
Oops. Wasn't done. Nice low note with the MBRP setup.
I didn't put the tip on because it ends up in the crush zone behind the tire. I'll go to my local muffler shop and have a piece bent to exit straight out the back.

Well, I guess that and a few other things, like a Savvy 1.25” body lift, MORE motor mounts, MORE steering riser bracket, and a UCF transfer case skid. Prior to the tummy tuck, you can see the OEM transfer case skid well below the frame and there’s actually daylight between the engine skid and the body. Everything got tucked up nice, giving the Jeep significantly more clearance compared to the before pic:

I'm glad you said so, really happy with the tub so I'll get a small set for the doors.
Took off the soft top for the first time. Drove around with a stupid grin. Most fun I’ve had in awhile.
Wait till you take the doors off for the first time! You’ll be giggling like a school girl
Yep. I like it a lot. Besides, once I went to 35's on beadlocks, the whole thing got way too heavy to just hang off the back tailgate. I tend to leave the spare off when I'm just driving around town (got AAA, they'll tow me home if I ever get a flat) but I always take the spare on the trails.
I was just about to order. Do you think the rectangle version would be a better choice? What about a stubby?
Highly suggest you get the no door mirrors before doing so. I drove it once with no doors. Super fun but even I thought it was sorta dangerous.Wait till you take the doors off for the first time! You’ll be giggling like a school girl

I like the round but that is just personal preference, I don’t know if one is better than the other. I tightened the three Phillips head screws really tight after I adjusted the mirrors and they haven’t budged. I don’t know anything about the stubby’s

Didn’t get my diff back in yet, had to run up to Pa this morning to pick up my latest FB Marketplace find. Factory TJ half doors with Smittybilt soft uppers and a set of hard uppers with sliding glass. Not sure what brand they are yet. They were originally tan but somebody spray painted them black 
He also threw in a set of factory door surrounds, all for $500 I’ll look into having the doors painted, but they’ll match my black soft top well enough to hold me over for a little bit.

When I looked at mine this is what I found
The weird thing is that the push rod to the right of that was bent, not the one that popped out of the rocker.
Backwards....they chem dipped it then media blasted it.

Nothing major, just put the bumbers on the hood. Now back to beer and chilaxin'.
