Nice, Keith!
What have you done to your Jeep today?

Used the new water setup on the beach this weekend. Definitely an awesome mod and I highly recommend it for anyone who has the stock bumper and goes on the surf.

Going to pick up a transcooler thanks to Pep Boys...

Replaced the ac compressor on the little ladies XJ. It's like driving a refrigerator down the road now.

My cheap arse finally won a low bid on a rci 2161a fuel cell on eBay.

Just did a 3" lift on the 96 xj. Does anyone have a set of 31x10.5x15 mounted on 5x4.5 lug wheels I can use for a test fit?

My 2dr wasn't really big enough for surf fishing supplies so we found a hitch carrier we no longer used and a pole holder my dad had bought used. He had rigged it up in his truck but it didn't work that great. We found some aluminum plate a buddy had collecting dust, some nuts and bolts and some paint. Now I can throw my cooler on there and equipment to drive on the beach whenever we go surf fishing. Also will be nice whenever I need more storage space.

Last night I spent a few hours getting Chloè ready for inspection. Tonight the wife helped me get the exhaust wrapped up. I still need some exhaust hangars welded on to button everything up and then she'll be all set.

That heat wrap helped a buddy with underhood temps from a turbo on his autocross car. Data logger showed a few degrees cooler intake temps because the top mount intercooler and piping wasn't getting heat soaked *quite* as quickly. Would think same applies here. If you take manifold off you might as well wrap what you can of that too.

I added some differential cover guards for the Big Dogs trip. I've only been to Rausch Crek a couple times, but already I've seen differential covers are very vulnerable.
And I started working on a skid plate for the gas tank.
In between that I started on this.
This will help a lot, there's not a lot of room in the jeep! -

And I started working on a skid plate for the gas tank.My XJ is heavily armored, and I don't have a gas tank skid. (Not yet, anyway. I have one in my garage awaiting install.) Since you've already started the gas tank skid, by all means have at it. But I would recommend other things first.
IMO, rocker guards and belly protection (oil pan and transfer case skids), and bumpers, in that order, are higher priority than gas tank skid. I know you already have the bumpers and rocker protection. If you already have the belly skids, then never mind and and don't waste time reading this post.

practically speaking, id do the gas tank before the rockers. a hole in a gas tank will leave you stranded, a dented or scratched rocker still gets you home. (that being said, the gas tank is easier and cheaper to replace than having a shop do body work if you decided to get a mangled rocker fixed.)
-
I agree with all of that, and thanks for the input!
I already had the bumpers and rocker guards so I'm good there. I have a stock skidplate under the transfer case, but it isn't all that.
I did these other items because they are what I would worry about every time I go through a mud puddle full of unseen rocks!
I have a plan for a pretty good sized belly skid, but I only have so much time...
I also need to make thicker u bolt plates, mine are stressed. The new ones will incorporate a HDPE skid covering the entire plate and the nuts which hang down, but that time thing again... -
...and the nuts which hang down...Don't know 'bout y'all but this is my biggest concern and first priority.... :o
