What did you do to your TJ today?

Wasn't today but Monday. Finally pulled the trigger on Bartact seat covers, took advantage of the minimal savings for Cyber Monday. UPS says they're in Illinois today, with expected delivery to me in Michigan tomorrow. I wanted to recover the seats with original color Sahara tan and green, but the cost from the local upholstery shop was out of range for my TJ, since it's not my DD.

I bought a set two years ago absolutely love them… money well spent
 
My new hog ring pliers showed up around 5 this morning. But because I’m lazy I didn’t put them to use until almost 8. (I love being retired.)

Anyway, after exactly 35 minutes of leisurely work I now have new seat base foam in the drivers seat. The remaining three foam pieces are obviously a bit worn after 26 years of use, but not much. The difference is truly amazing. No more sitting at a weird angle and I can now see my whole hood from the drivers seat. I even had to adjust the steering wheel tilt up a bit so I could again see my gauge cluster. Best $90.00 I’ve spent in a long time. Summit Racing for the win!

I may need to try these. I like the idea of seeing my bonnet and gauges and I can then get rid of my booster seat.., 😂
 
Installed the JKS rear trackbar relocation bracket this morning.

I know @Weasellee warned me, but I wanted to get the trackbar off the fuel tank.

I will keep an eye on it and if it gives me any trouble I will replace it with a Rockjock.

It will be fine. The only time I had one fail is when I got hit in the rear wheel by a car traveling 50 MPH. Lots of other stuff failed too.
p.s. You might need these though. ;)

Bartacts are hard to choke down but no one ever complains later.

Their customer service is bang on too… I was calling them up regularly and nothing was too much of a hassle.
BONUS - they also sent me stickers !!🎉
