Not today, but I did it this week:

I finally fixed my hi-beams. After a whole summer of troubleshooting, I found a damaged pin on my headlight harness. With the help of my flexible hands, and some super glue, I repaired the connector pin.

Now I flash my hi-beams to let people go; not just because it's the nice thing to do, but because I fixed those headlights myself and feel a little proud of myself in doing so.

Being polite because you're proud of yourself. That's something I can relate to

Peep XJ is in drydock awaiting surgery and many fresh parts, a fall project.
Been preparing the WJ and ZJ for winter duty.
I hate working thru dirt so power wash, full lubes, and under scrape n paint, U Joints, shocks all round, transmission flushing, exhaust systems.
All bearings, brakes and heating systems are mint and good to go.
Will hold off till November for the snow tire sets.
Insides cleaned, vac, fresh mat sets.
Maybe too much. Now wife wants her car detailed.

Looks much better with the new shoes. Not familiar enough with ZJs to know about the plastic liner. Is it an insert in the fender to keep crud out of seams and the like?

Did the 4 pintle injector upgrade Friday. Bought a matching wheel for a matching full size spare-$50. And did the Spectre cowl intake last Saturday.

31s
Can't really tell a difference looks-wise, tbh. But your front bumper... a common mod I've seen is to cut the lower "Valance" off - just below that first bumper line up. Little more asthetically pleasing and gives you a smaller "profile" bumper with added benefit of additional clearance for the tires.

It raised it about 1.75 at the rockers. I think it looks better, fill the wheel wells up. I did some trimming but am thinking of doing more. Here is what I have done
