Two of the easiest and most productive things I have done so far lol. Adjusted the TV cable and put in a putco harness.

I finished up my basic front winch bumper today. Basically, it's just a box mounted on the front. There are so many winch bumper threads on here, I just couldn't bring myself to make a build thread on it. I got the drawings of the extended frame mounts off of here and used 3/16' plate, 2" angle iron and grade 8 bolts and bolted it all together. My welding skills suck and this way, as I work on building the rest of it, I can change it to suit my tastes as I go because it's bolted and not welded. I'll post photos when I finally get it all finished and then, if anyone is interested, I'll post how it was done.

Moved my speaker to the brush guard for the siren unit. Also, made a fuse box outta a fuse holder from napa and a project box from napa. Almost done, just have to add some more coil for tomorrow and I'm set.
**Edit**
I lied. Just added the look. Much better.

From those pictures it looks like your engine bay is muddier than my whole jeep.

Use dielectric grease in the plugs, and use a dab of RTV to keep them from sliding apart. I lost my headlights in the mountains one day because the connector had slid apart and corroded.

Well I finished buying the following:
Rear main seal
Oil filter adapter O rings
6qts of oil
Seafoam
Valve cover gasket
Oil pan gasket
And some other misc. Stuff to do all of the above. Of course I went with all the Fel Pro permatex gaskets.
Plan for tomorrow is have all of that done in one day. If I have time iv got a new set of LCA to put in also.

Got home from my trip to find my drives rear tire flat with another stupid screw in it!! So I drove the comanche and also had to deal with a low tire. Passenger front likes to leak. Was debeaded when I bought the truck. Tires have 80 percent tread but are cracked to hell. Thinking about getting some MTs when I can afford it and swap my ATs to the manche and use the factory xj rims I have in the back after I get them cleaned up or powdered.
Mine have been gone a year now , is there any places you've patched up to close off ? Or are ya just on top of the dirt and rust near the rockers
