Next I've got to get rid of this sagging rear end.
A jog for a few blocks before and after working on the Jeep will help with that.

Oh yeah I also bought some new tools and a worklight the parts guy said "gets hot enough to grow 'maters" so I guess that's good

Sounds like an Omix-Ada part number. Get the ceramic style, I don't think pad brands matter too much once you get into that tier. I think AutoZone down there has reliable ceramic pads under the Duralast brand (unlike a lot of their other products lol). At least I keep reading that people like them.

By the way tech questions aren't supposed to be posted in here.

I cleaned the battery terminals. They were so bad I was actually stalling because of it. Surprised at how much better it runs just from that simple thing.

Just to help prevent corrosion buildup on your terminals. Cheap insurance. That being said, I've never used em. LOL. Baking soda, water and a toothbrush do the job just fine.

NOOOO!!! I'm too young to die!!! Haha makes sense though. They are good for now but the actual clamps are really crappy so soon enough I think I am going to replace them. One of the bolts that holds the clamp on is completely shot so we just squeezed the clamp as hard as possible onto the terminal. Anyone have suggestions on some good replacements? I do plan on putting rock lights and offroad lights on it when the weather gets nice so is there some clamps that are easier to use with multiple wires?(when it comes time to fix this i will look up some replacements myself but I'm just looking for suggestions)

Marine battery terminals. You can fit multiple wires with lugs on 'em. For all your cables, see above...

EDIT: I also have a battery with top and side posts, use the top posts for your main cables and the side posts for accessories...

Realigned my steering wheel by adjusting the drag link sleeve. Then I helped take off a buddies front and rear sway bars... Those pressed in bolts are terrible! Saw, drill, bearing puller, torch, BFH, still had trouble! I'll get it tomorrow since we ran out of light.

Got the left front frame stiffener mostly burned in, good ol HF flux welder hasn't let me down yet...

Don't judge me about the steering box. Lol all three bolts snapped off. Thankfully before the spacer, so il have plenty of bolt to grab ahold to after I knock the crappy spacer off of them.

Debating if I even want to save it? Or just upgrade while I'm at it so I don't have to deal with the bolts. Decisions decisions. Full hydro? It'd be kind of a waste on the 30....but I'd have everything, and all the plumbing done for when I step up to full widths... Idkkkk
