Helped a friend change the ball joints on his TJ today. Also started the camera install on my son-in-laws Jeep. Hope to finish that tomorrow.
What did you do to your TJ today?

put the old wobbly jalopy in heated storage last week, for the winter. I put a battery tender on it.
Its going up for sale next spring. Sadly, at 70 YOA, I'm getting to feeble to get in or out of a Jeep that is 30+" off the ground. I went and bought a Chevy Colorado Z71 to replace the TJ.
So, Im getting out of the Jeeping business.
You guys have been great when I had a problem, I wish all of you great fun, and good luck

This member invited me to a party in Blue Ridge-
Him- “We gonna smoke smoke, we gonna drank, shoot guns, fight, have wild sex....”
Me -“Uh, ok, what time should I get there?”
Him- “It don’t matter, It’s just gonna be us two”
One of my dad's favorite jokes, he told a slightly longer version.
I once forgot one of those harbor freight led magnet flashlights inside the frame around the engine of my wife's suv. Starting missing it after a week or so, and there it was, still there
Have no idea how many miles it has on it now 
Can you post a few more pictures of how this mounts? I have an aluminum Cold Case radiator that is thicker than the OEM. I'd like to get this to protect it, but want to make sure it will fit before I order it.

Was this a double post??? or did you get invited to 2 parties ? LolThis member invited me to a party in Blue Ridge-

I went nosing about on eBay, there's dozens of them for sale there, so I bought a smaller one. Apparently Craftsman eventually took the design over, and I've seen a picture of a Stanley that appears to be the same idea. In any event, I like them a lot better than the original "Vice-Grip" style - "Stop Screwing Around" was the tagline back in the day, which is a bit of a white lie, you still have to adjust the tension, but its fast and easy by comparison. Highly recommended.

I don't know how you made from Huntsville to Blue Ridge in 2 hours for that party, that's normally a 5 hour trip !

Finally received the silicone hose kit from Amazon. Fixed two obvious evap leaks, one at the purge & one at the vapor canister. Having a downstream O2 sensor code, going to replace the pair. Gotta pass emissions but that damn CEL won't stay off.
Where did you put your Jeep?
Its in a heated barn/maintenance building in Traverse City MI. I put a Battery Tender on it to keep the battery fully charged.
We Workamp at a campground in Traverse City, The management asked us to return next year ( apparently, they love that I am an expert at Plumbing, electrical, and vehicle maintenance ) so the boss let me put the Jeep in the barn until next year. We will be working from April thru November. Next April its going up for sale.
Then, I think in 2026, we may try an Alaska Run, up through Canada. Not real sure yet? we'll have to see how the economy goes, and hopefully we'll have the funds to try it
Mounted my anti rock sway bar today. The way people talk online I though the road handling would be somewhat compromised but honestly it was barely noticable. I do have it on the stiffest setting for now though. We have a small motocross track at the shop so I tested the flex on a few of the dirt jumps and it seemed great as well.
I think @TheBoogieman meant the actual address. Knowing it will be left all alone for months gives him plenty of time to come by with a trailer and take that jeep off your hand's.

my bad, no problem. The barn/maintenance building is fully secured and has CCTV surveillance, there is also a Ram 3500 and six golf carts in the way. It's parked in the back corner. Its going to take a monumental effort to get to it. But if you're really brave, I'll shoot you the address
good luck.
I don’t think it’s turning over faster, but I’m convinced the stereo system (amp/sub) sound cleaner
You aren't crazy. The radio does sound cleaner with the cleaner power. Unfortunately the ECM controls the voltage. With a new alternator, my voltage stays between 13.4-13.8. The corroded OEM cables were limiting.
It will get better once the ECM learns the cleaner power.
