Haha.... alright guys, let's not turn this into a tool thread. I'm all for a tool thread created somewhere else though. I go ape nuts about tools.
Back on topic - I started measuring and planning things out for a custom hi-lift mount for my front bumper. Even ordered a Versa-lok for it, which came in yesterday.
Pics once I get more progress (FWIW, I could probably get this done in an hour, but my next day off isn't until like next weekend).

Made some new sway bar links, painted the crossmember/link mounts, tapped the inserts in the frame for the cross member, and didnsome more work on cutting the lower control arm mounts off.

Kinda figured there was, but didn't care enough to check this time.

Saw your post on IG and got pretty excited. E for effort on wanting to do it yourself.... but A+ for realizing when to throw in the towel and let the pros handle it.

yea my dad talked me out of it lol.
hes been a mechanic for 40+ years now and he would touch it either
transmission and t-case are back in, shifter linkage is re attached, new relays are rewired, waiting on my -6 hose fittings to run the new cooler lines
Finally removed my headliner and soundbar. Can anyone here tell me what was the purpose of the burned out portion of the rear dome light pictured here? It turned on fine whenever doors were opened but not rear hatch. Could that have been the issue?
I think that's the switch that changes whether the hatch activates the dome lights. It probably actually was a bad ground or something that caused it to burn up.
Damn rear O2 harness came loose again and was rubbing on the drive shaft. Thankfully no damage this time, ziptied the bejezus out of it.
Discovered the source of a mildly annoying exhaust leak I've been hearing lately. Lol, muffler is coming apart at the seams. So I'll need to address that, and as good a time as any to install a hi-flow cat I've been sitting on. Muffler... I want a more aggressive tone, without being obnoxiously loud or sounding like a fart cannon. Open to suggestions!
