For two bucks I bought this


and made some grill inserts!



The week before I started on my in-cab winch controller. The toggle on the right is going to be for power to the winch, one red button for line out, the other for line in, only have to wire everything up!

My 06 has the same setup. Looks really different versus all of my older jeeps(98,99,00). Comes stock from the factory.

I took my trim rigs out placed them on top of what I bought and traced the pattern. I then cut them out and zip tie them on the trim rigs!

Replaced the multifunction switch so the fog lights would work. Removed, repainted and reinstalled front and rear bumpers over the last two weekends. Jeep looks nice!

Replaced Rear DS U-Joints, ordered a new 8K winch and Jeep goes to my friends fab shop for roll cage. All in time for my Badlands trip in a couple weeks.

Are those the stock bumpers? And if so, what is required to remove them? I need to repaint mine.

Awww! Thanks Mo! They are ok for my first attempt... Next time I'll be willing to spend a bit more on fabric and maybe not be stuck with paisley.... I wanted outdoor fabric to hold up to the sun, and the color matches my Sienna pretty well.....

Hmmm...I always liked paisley in the 70's...
Had lots of ties in that pattern...

That fact, however, does not detract from the way your seat covers look...I still think they're awesome!

The only thing missing is the mysterious seamstress herself...

Put in my extended bumpstops, tightened my tailgate latch, and replaced most of the defective zerk fittings that came on my Rough Country control arms. Ran out of the right ones, so I need to go buy four more.

I started the back breaking process of removing my old roll bar... got 12 out of the 16 bolts out. But when I finally get the new roll bar in its getting brand new fancy grade 8 hex heads

NEVER AGAIN TORX BOLTS!!!!!

I feel your pain. I couldn't believe how hard some of those bolts were to break. I broke several torx bits and stripped one bolt when I took my roll bar out to put Herculiner in the interior. Taking the roll bar out was the hardest part of the job.

If you haven't gotten more out of the insurance company than you deserve, then you haven't screwed them nearly as much as they have been screwing you for the past xx years.

I was just going to say "I bought it!" but after reading some of these posts I realize that sounds pretty lame. Who ever owned my TJ before did a pretty good job getting it ready for me!

<---- put all the parts I have to put on the Jeep in one room and came to the conclusion that my weekends are not long enough to even dent the amount of work that needs to be done.
