I saw this on another board and thought it was cool, maybe worth being a sticky... if people want to post up... I am always doing small and large stuff to the Jeep, but many times it is not worth starting a new topic...
What have you done to your Jeep today?

I guess that I should start this off...
Today I dismounted 10 tires from their rims and put my 305's on my rubi rims, I like the black look of the steel wheels, but the ride and style of the stock rims is what I decided to go with. now I have 5 wheels and tires sitting in the garage, along with a set of stocker wheels and tires.
Friday, I fixed my front axle leak... tore everything apart and cleaned it out very well, only to find that my inner axle seal is a-okay, I guess that the way I had it sitting before and maybe over full, some gear oil leaked into the axle housing and the first couple trips caused it to leak out.
I installed some Alloy USA otter dirt seals and put everything together, I am happy with it and the security it gives me if I have to go thru some deep water or mud.
Last week was Ball joints, track bar and steering linkage, along with a shade-tree alignment.

oh and I did a seat lift, using bump-stop spacers and longer bolts that I had in the garage... this is a really awsome mod, sitting 1 3/4" higher really makes driving a newer TJ much better.
-
installed my new 15x8 crager soft 8's
-
My whole past week was spent doing an NV3550 swap, SYE, rear adjustable uppers, driveshaft, and shock relocators.
-
put a fuel pump in and changed the oil. Not vary exciting
-
control arm bushings, tie rod ends, rear sway bar links.
-
i moved the spare parts around the garage since i dont own a jeep anymore...

i moved the spare parts around the garage since i dont own a jeep anymore...dayum, no more YJ already....

Made "For Sale" signs

Removed my light bar & gutted it. Even though its chrome I decided to paint it (chrome is rusting). Before painting I figured I'd redo the light mounts (custom) to hide the wires more. I'll try to rewire it tonight. Instead of making my own harness I bought a kit from Quad.
-
I got new tires (31s) & a new battery. Exciting, right? I have to start looking for a replace a top. Mine has about had it.

so I was drinking beer and dicided to try something I had seen on another board,
<img src="http://www.delawareja.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=14827" alt="Copy of P9290019" />oh and I got a toolbox/trunk thing that holds my hi-lift, bolted it to the floor, ,I want to paint it, but it will stay shinny for now.
