What did you do to your TJ today?

I didn’t know either until seen them called Adel clamps in FABTECH manual and ones I selected to use are marked ADEL

Inventors Name is Adel?

Between games I dipped the other clamp instead of brushing it on, I like this encapsulate, a foam brush works well too, ran out, can be sprayed but I’m not equipped for that. I roughed clamps up and cleaned with brake cleaner before application.

Nice change weather, some sleet and a rainbow to end the day, no smoke!!!!! Have not watched the news yet on any slides.
 
Finally got the Crown OPDA swapped in that I have had since I bought the Jeep last year. Not difficult at all other than reinstalling the little tab that holds it down. A little cramped in there.

Also, took rear sway bar out. It has been clunking a lot lately since it got nice and cold in my neck of the woods. All bushings were shot and unfortunately, even after a week of spraying with penetrant, several bolts were beyond stuck. Nothing a sawzall and cutoff wheel couldn't handle. Plan is to replace with all new and a bit of anti-seize.

Have you driven it without the rear sway bar?

I'm not saying you have to give that a try but I do wonder how much of a difference you get with it missing.

I didn't notice any difference to be honest aside from the clunk being gone. And if I do start to notice it being an issue, it is relatively cheap to go back in with all new hardware and sway bar if I choose to do so.
 
Made the call of shame today after it died in the middle of the street and would not start. Come to find out it was a badly split ignition coil, tossed a new one in and good to go again .

Don't know why that's shameful. Shit happens. Glad you got it fixed.
