Nothing but I did bedline my sisters Dakota and straighten out the bumper+fix the mounts. Used roll on duplicolor. After I was done with the 6 hours of work I put it on CL and it sold in 30 minutes! $1,500!!!

It all started with the yearly inspection, I had to fix my exhaust. I went to the Jeep shop, who sent me to a special exhaust shop (it was so bad I needed to replace most of it), who told me the engine is not running properly and I have to fix it before he puts in the new exhaust with new catalytic converter would "get burnt" in a matter of weeks. So he sent me to a special shop that checks the gas coming out of the engine. They confirmed the problem and told me to go to another special shop to have it fixed. They changed the sensor that was dead (O2 sensor?) but told me that the exhaust problem took some of the bolts holding the manifold out, so new threads had to be made. Then back to the exhaust and finally after all that was done (days...) I took her (the Jeep) out. She runs ever so smoothly now, feels like having a new engine.

Photos of the trip are here if you are interested, not Jeep only, but including the Jeep

I haven't done much but drive it back a forth to work. I did remove the fender flare so I can cut the fenders a 1" or so.

Default Injector cleaning tool

made from 1 1/8 acr tube plugged on both ends and the inlet fitted with valve and air chuck fitting. The outlet is fed from the opposite end internally and feeds the injector with solvent. The steel bar stays on tube permanently but can move around for ease of injector change out. I want to change the needle valve for a ball valve and make an easier way to fill. It works great, it cleaned up two sets of injectors for my xj so I can do the upgrade and the second set I will keep as spares or give them to a buddy. My local junk yard had no shortage of these I may go and get more.

I used rustoleum professional and it sticks pretty well, I didn't scuff at all before painting over the red and it still sticks really well. With some prep it would be even better
