Got my gas skid back on after painting the underside. Got my sway bar links fixed and worked on getting the hitch on. I'm going to have to drill the holes on the "frame" out a little.

Installed a Wix inline transmission filter on the cooler return soft line. Going to do a flush soon and want to preclean the crap so it doesn't get recirculated.

I fixed my broken headlight bezel with some liquid cement, replaced my factory markers with clear ones, finished installing all exterior LED lighting, and washed and waxed her up real good. Removed a whole bunch of tar splatter and baked on bug guts that have been accumulating for years now. Took about four hours of washing, but so worth it. So clean.

Me and the boy put new plugs, wires, cap, rotor cleaned the battery posts and put on new terminals. Filled up the tank for my boy and he's gone again. He really is loving this jeep. I may have to buy a 99 sport I came across. I don't know if my wallet can afford 2 yeeps.

Yes sir. Side markers were a little tight getting the bulb in there, but I managed. Only thing I don't like is that my tail lights don't get very much brighter when the brakes are applied. I ordered some different ones and will get those LEDs next week.

The Trucklites are awesome! Definitely don't regret buying them. I haven't gotten around to properly aligning them yet, but I'm sure they will be even better once I do.

Diagnosed a squeak squeak. Heard it when coasting to a stop with engine off in neutral.
Squeak is in the cardon joint on front driveshaft. Never had to replace a centering ball before.

Attempted to replace my UCA bushing. My old bushing came out with ease. I go to install the new bushing and it was the wrong size. RE sent me 4 of the same. Well 2 fit the LCA but they are too big for the uppers. So I guess my jeep is in pieces while I get another set of bushings which I'm sure they are closed Monday and I need my jeep. Maybe I'll just run on the bad bushings for now
