Replaced the driver side brake cylinder finally and hardline to the t box, then stabbed a huge hole in the 1/4 panel due to rust. I guess its time to do the old cut & fold! Ha.

Edit: Ordered some POR15 kit to treat the underside since its finally starting to rust from being the ski vehicle.

Bought tires. Ouch.

Went from the no-name 265/75R18's on JK wheels--with 1" spacers--that the PO put on there to Cooper ATP 31x10.50r15's with black steelies. The tires are getting mounted now and I'll put em on the jeep this weekend.

Mounted my CB and made an antenna limiter. I still need to make the harness for my CB and run the coax but it's up where i wanted it.

Installed a header to replace my cracked exhaust manifold, cleaned out the intake manifold and ports, and heat wrapped my fuel rail. Pretty good day

I don't need to limit the outward movement of my CB antenna, I need to put a bump stop on it for the inward movement that or rethink my mount. An other option I am thinking of is drilling a hole in a tennis ball and gluing it to the antenna where it beats on the side of the Jeep.
