I hope the recent head work did the trick and it didn't piddle like a 75-year-old kitten...!
I made my last payment!

Winch and quick sway bar disconnects installed
I'm all for environmental friendliness and instant torque, but the auditory experience is something BEV's just can't replicate. Glad to hear you're enjoying the new manifold.
So far so good. And the new exhaust manifold makes it sound much better
I just got my daughter a compass she loves it! Her poor JK has transmission issues and it was her DD so RIP.
Yesterday I had to replace the main battery. The Start/Stop @! was still showing on dash. Went to replace the aux battery today. It is actually pretty easy. Anyways, took it out, tested it and it was 97% fine. Reinstalled every thing and the light is now off and the start/stop works.
I finally fixed the license plate light that I ripped apart at Good Evening Ranch. It was much easier than I expected. The replacement wire routes behind the plate to a connector in the driver's side wheel well. No need to remove the rear bumper. The hardest part is pulling the 7-8 christmas trees that hold the harness in place.
Local dealer quoted $130ish for the replacement harness.
Found the part number for just the damaged plug, it was $60 or so.
Found the full harness with both ends from a dealer on ebay for $34 with free shipping.
part number: 68414892AB (for those JLs without the backup sensors)

Installed a spiderweb shade and drove it to the meeting. Super easy install, took the soft top off to get the full experience.
Found a drill bit in my tire on the way home from the gym this morning. I was able to swap my spare on quickly, and my kid still made it to school on time. Time to go get it patched.
Edit: Costco patched and plugged the hole. All good now.

I moved mine home from the (work) shop so I can start working on it again. Just waiting for construction to be done at the home shop then its game on! The pile of boxes on the left is everything I need to finish it. Now I just need to find the time!

After bending the factory rear sway bar at GER and half fixing it, which resulted in spicy highway driving evidenced on the trip to and from Killbuck Jamboree, I bit the very pricey bullet.
RockJock Antirock rear sway installed. Long term planned for but timeline moved up.
Easier with fenders pulled which of course lead to another upgrade.
Motobilt inner liners be here Saturday, then get it back on the ground.
Expensive week.

Let me know if you need a hand. I will be around this weekend, but fly out again Monday
