No start this morning. Attempted to change the crank position sensor this afternoon, but my patience just wasn't there. Will try again tomorrow.
Topped off fluids and cleaned the engine bay to feel like I accomplished something.

This past weekend I painted it from yellow to black in my backyard, today I touched it up and finished the second coat plus I had ripped out all the carpet in my cargo area so I sprayed it with bedliner.

Wheeled it for 7 hours today. Added a few new dents and scratches but broke nothing. Also had a small problem with the trailer I was pulling that had my brothers rail buggy on it. Now my hatch wont latch closed.
The bolt that holds the locking mechanism in the tongue came loose. Tightened it and backed the buggy on to the trailer and had no more issues.

Today I drilled small holes in the sides of the frame rails just above the bolts that hold the rear bumpstops (mine are busted off) to the frame. Then I used the straw to hose the bolts with PB Blaster.

i waited all day long for my KOR tb conversion. fedex decided to toy w/ me a little. it started @ 10:30a when i saw the fedex guy walking up the walkway towards my apt. as he walked past me to the apt. next door, i hung my head in disappointment. i waited until 2:15p, when i heard a big truck pull into the parking lot. it was fedex! my front door was wide open, my building & apt #'s clearly marked, yet they didn't even get out to look for my apt before he started up & took off! i chased after him for about a block, but he was gone. after checking the tracking # online, it said that "customer was unavailable/business was closed". i immediately called fedex, and they said that there was nothing that they could do other than "attempt" to deliver it again today or wait until tomorrow! it was a beautiful day here on the far north coast of cali, but i didn't get to do anything but wait. i watched 3 more fedex trucks go by & then i had to go to work. 
(guess i should've chosen a better shipping option....but @ least while i was waiting i found my soldering gun & solder to hard-wire the new turn sig. mod. & stereo amp leads.)

Replaced the entire rear brake system from the master cylinder to the drums. Every single piece is new. I took a lot of pictures and may put together a how-to as I searched and didn't see any for the 8.25. Jeep stops wonderfully now. Crisp pedal and very little pedal movement required.
Also found a fuel return line, I think, that is in the same condition as the brake line that blew out so I'll be cutting that out and replacing it this afternoon.

Started ripping out the carpet to fix the floorboards. Tried to take the seats out, but the bolts are very, very rusted and I stripped one bolt. (even after shooting them with PB blaster for 2 days) Ended up cutting it, but my grinder is too big to do the other bolts....Anyways, I sanded whatever I could and then put bedliner on it. I will patch it up in 2 weeks or so.
