Sanded down the roof, the passenger side rear 1/4 panel, and I am now mid-way through sanding the hatch. . Hopefully we can be at the primer stage by Saturday night!

Replaced the left-hand side of the instrument cluster (the part that shows part-time/full-time indications, etc...), replaced the light bulb in the A/C panel, and the temperature sensor on the thermostat housing. Also pulled a power steering pump from a poor disabled 93 XJ Country at the Junkyard. Gonna install it within the next week.

Yesterday: Replaced the door speakers as well as the liftgate speakers (Alpine SPS-500) and the factory stereo (Alpine CDE-102). Replaced the upper radiator hose and installed a 195 degree Stant thermostat (it was cycling WAY too early before, at the 1/4 mark! see pic).

Made my rack it's 51" by 56". The top ring is 51" by 51" to mount some lights. It turned out out good, being the first thing I've ever made for my jeep.... Bumper is next!!

Used it to drag my new-to-me 1997 F150 4x4 out of its parking spot twice. Then I found the bad front axle engage solenoid on the Ford. Replaced that and now I don't have to tow it out of mud anymore.

Do you have your foot on the gas in that pic? That's an awfully high idle.
