And I thought our Nanny State was bad...
What did you do to your TJ today?

Blame the CCP virus. All dressed up with noplace to go.
I beat you all to it! And just to make sure he didn’t sell it to someone else I venmo’d the entire $1000 to him.
OK, I'll bite - what exactly is the "Red Pill"? Anything like the little blue or yellow pills for ED? :~)Not a lot really but my rear window decal finally arrived from the good old "U.S of A" Proudly made in the Nanny State of CA, so I put it on! lol
I have had this Decal on every Vehicle I have owned since about a year after 9/11even though I am Australian.

You damn rich people and your money.
I wanted it so bad. I could tell it was an actual Rubicon and had a LA lift installed. His details were spot on.
The terms "red pill" and blue pill" refer to a choice between revealing an unpleasant truth, represented by the red pill, and remaining in blissful ignorance, represented by the blue pill. The terms reference the 1999 film The Matrix.
A 1999 film? I thought it was like the political red state and blue state, but I promised not to go there again. Blue states meaning they have erectile dysfunction (blue pill) like their candidate. Sorry Chris.

Added the Misch 4x4 arm rests, only drove about 5 miles since install, but I love 'em already.
I mounted them with the bracket as specified in their instructions, I may switch it to see if they are any different.

Those always look like they're mounted upside down, can the brackets be flipped over?
Replaced the fuel pump.
During the last week the TJ almost left me stranded twice. Both times it eventually started, but I was close to calling for
tow. Gas gauge showed half a tank, but thought it would be doable. Got it unbolted and about got a hernia. It was almost completely full. Finally got it on the ground and hooked up a 'drill pump' to empty into five gallon gas cans. Drill pump melted down after the second can so we just decided to fight with it. Pulled the fuel pump, and it came out in 3 pieces. The main body, the bottom plate, and the 'sanitary napkin'. Being an Arizona Jeep all of the fitting 'locks' were brittle and broke, so we used small zip ties (they actually work really well). Got a little nervous when I tried to put the pump in the tank and it bottomed out before it was fully seated. After my heart rate went back to normal we realized it will collapse so the it fit. Must be made to fit multiple tank sizes. Got it back together and it started right up. 4 hours including a lunch break. SUCCESS!!
Not sure how old the pump was, but it was a Delphi, just like the new one we installed.

Received the Misch 4x4 Arm Rests earlier today by UPS; they were delivered a day late !!!
The installation took about 40 minutes including looking for the proper size Torks bit (T10) to remove the factory door straps.

Drove my TJ up to the 20 acers of land my wife and I just bought.
Yes, I flipped them over and tested them. It raises the armrest quite a bit and of course, changes the way the weight on the rest is distributed. It also makes the opening behind the rest smaller, so slightly harder to get fingers in to close. They also can't be adjusted back any further.
So, I flipped them back (only takes a few minutes).
As pictured, they are the same height as the console so I don't feel lopsided, and for me, are a perfect height for resting my arm, which is what I wanted them to do!
Got my Crown heavy duty steering upgrade installed, new Monroe steering stabilizer to. Got the front end alignment done. Drives like a new Jeep!! I knew it had some rattling but didn't realize what I was hearing was the factory steering slop.
