Replaced my rear leaf spring bushings and shackles.
Looked at the "new to me" jeep. Just purchased a '92 Laredo for two half drive impact guns and an air saw. 210k and a bit of rust, all power with working a/c and cruise! No death wobble!
Needs tires, so happy I kept my 235's, it's got the 215's on it now. So frikkin happy!!!

Got a lot done today. I finally cut in the hood vents that have been rolling around in the back for months. I also did some cosmetic surgery on my ugly tube bumper. It looks do much better now. To top it off, I had the cooling system flushed and filled.

Washed her with the pressure washer and tons of soap... Windexed and vacuumed the inside. Also cleaned the inside of the gas cap cover thing. Looks brand new haha. A clean jeep is a happy jeep! Or is it a muddy jeep is a happy jeep...?

Super easy. There are two triangle brackets that bolt it to the frame rail. Each of those brackets have three bolts that bolt it on. There's also a vaccuum canister on the passenger side of the bumper that uses two torx bolts to hold it to the bumper. You can relocate that inside the engine bay. I put it back near the ac.
alright sweet, thanks. ive been spraying the bolts down with PB blaster. i need to get the right size torx head for it too. i lost my vacuum canister, ripped it off when i was wheeling i guess

Moved my gas can off the roof rack and onto the rear swing away, and changed my oil pressure switch cuz I thought my oil pump was out, thankfully it seems to only by the switch. 17$-79$ difference and a whole lot of time I didn't waste, easiest part I've probably ever done on it so far lol.
