I did the Valve cover gasket and painted the cover while it was off. The original gasket was rock hard like plastic, the back 6 bolts were completely loose. The hardest part of this job was cleaning up my dirty valve cover and painting it.
I also did the valve cover mod per cruisers write up.

When I bought my Jeep they told me it had no rust, but it turned out the rocker panel was halfway rusted through and was really a giant hole. It was covered up with tape that matched the paint. Cut the rust off and my father welded a patch on from a rocker panel I got off Rock Auto. Took a day and needs to be painted but it's much better now.

I added a little more to the cage.
Tomorrow I'll bend some tube for the top half of the B pillar, and a stretcher between the shock hoops for a high lift mount and to keep my spare tire in place.
