I think I put a spy sticker and a fox sticker on the back window.
Then I removed the bent up front bumper and replaced it
Then I replaced the entire Stereo
That was all pretty much within a day of buying the Jeep LOL

Put gas in, put the doors back on, then put a switch on my roof lights so I don't have to twist the wires together like the previous owner did.

Keep in mind it was $500. It was stock with a 3" suspension lift. My neighbor bought it from a girl at his work to make profit. After telling my friend about it he sold it immediately it him. He doesn't wheel, but nearly drove it til it died, but I said I would like to save it. He just never did any maintenance in the 3 years he drove it. I replaced the starter, radiator & a few other small things before I bought it.
Knowing it needed some work. I Replaced the water pump since it decided to go out on the way to my house. I replaced the clogged catalytic converter. You could hear it ping and pop in there when you gave it some gas and it wouldn't get up to speed & was choppy up slight hills at hwy speeds. Although I found out that the downshift cable was frayed so that turned out to be the main culprit. It would barely start in neutral so I rebuilt the neutral safety switch. Then I did a complete tune up before I did a compression test to find out the head was cracked between the intake and exhaust valves of #1 cylinder. Swapped it with a salvage yard head. After replacing the head I found that the exhaust manifold was cracked. I had it welded. Finally taking it up to get an inspection it failed because of the lower ball joint. Since it was something of simple maintenance & not emissions I was relieved.
