Fixed a leak in the right rear tire, loaded the family up and went to the outdoor range at the Wildlife Mgmt area and did a little shooting. Then hit the trails for a bit. Whole family had a blast. Hope to get new tires this week (on different wheels as well).
Also (since I just got the jeep about a week ago), I put together a 'necessary items' kit to carry in the Jeep. So far I have basic hand tools (wrenches, pliers, a few sockets, screwdrivers, vise grips, etc.), tow chain, tow strap, come along, 4 way lug wrench, small floor jack, hatchet, oil, ATF, fix-a-flat, hammer, rope, knife, lighter, rags/shop towels, etc. Believe it or not I fit all of that in one of those plastic totes and have it in the cargo area and still have plenty of room to spare.
I used my last tire plug today so I need to restock those as well.
Feel free to add suggestions of any other must haves.

New window regulator, for some weird reason though it doesn't wanna roll up the last 1/4 of an inch.
O2 sensor
Tps
Map sensor
Glove box latch, previous owner broke then disassembled the original.
Overflow spout on my radiator broke off, found a threaded brass barb, screwed it in slightly and used some (I know I'll catch crap for this) JB Weld to seal it up nice.
Installed a new electric fan (Previous owner removed the original one)

I broke both lower shock mounts on the axle while doing some rear suspension stuff and surprisingly none of the upper bolts...

Just Emptying Every Pocket...
Changed fuel Filter, new plugs, wires, crankshaft position sensor, removed and deep cleaned throttle body, removed and cleaned fuel injectors, new auto shutdown relay. I just picked up a new throttle position sensor, but I'm out of daylight and its cold outside. Hopefully after that, she'll start...

Found out my rear passenger side shock is leaking bad, could that be caused by the exhaust rubbing on it? Looks like i'm going to be replacing them soonish.

I went and looked at my track bar before work. Something didn't make sense. So I went on IROs website. Apparently they sent me a bolt for the axle mount. No idea where it is though. I got that thing a year ago... and I know I didn't install it.
Any suggestions on the best place to get a 12mm x 80 cl10.9 bolt?

Hopefully, I don't see why they wouldn't. If not I'd look for a bolt store somewhere around you, or there are speciality hardware websites where you could find one.

Was that just a radiator change? Looks like you were crawling about underneath the passenger side a bunch. What did you record that with? Ive wanted to do time lapse stuff, but I generally work like 10 hours at a time when I do haha.

I want a cement driveway. Ive got this black asphalt **** that crumbles away. Cant use creepers, cant use jacks very well. Hides oil spills decently though.
