We took my JT to the funeral of my wife's mother Tuesday. My wife's cousin Ralph, a 65 year old farmer and lover of trucks and tractors saw my JT there and walked over to it and commented on how much he liked the blue, but then he said "you know what I really love about these?" and he pointed to the door hinges and exposed bolts and such" - I love these heavy-duty looking hinges and the bolts you can see. Makes them look tough and industrial".
In other words - he really likes the Jeep exposed bolts and screws and the heavy-looking hinges you can see.
And like he said "you can actually work on these things".

My wife's Aunt Norma was also there, she's in her 70s, and she was driving her 98 Wrangler Sport with the 4.0. I commented on it and she said "it's so fun and reliable" - it was her husband's before he died and she just can't get rid of it she likes it so much.

Anywho - while some are covering up bolts and screws - some, even older than me, love the look of the exposed parts.
Sorry for the loss in your family. May your family find healing and peace as you celebrate their life.

First mod! Rydonair stubby radio antenna (Christmas present from son) to replace the factory metal rod.

As posted on the Amazon reviews, the screw on the antenna and adapter had black paint on the threads, so I buffed those with steel wool for better electrical contact. That said, enjoying SiriuxXM so much I have yet to listen to AM-FM!

Nothing at all. It was Christmas. My wife invited our neighbors over for dinner. Otherwise, it was just my wife and I (neither of us even heard from family) and our neighbors would have been alone, too. They have been GREAT neighbors (we have keys to each others shops and houses as we watch out for each other) and being in their 70s, I know my wife hated to think of them nowhere to go, nothing to do as even their families were being a bit - "stay away, COVID".
So the garage stayed closed, my shop stayed closed, I didn't even bump the heat up out there, and I helped my wife prep a great meal (and we sent as many leftovers back with our neighbors as they'd take LOL)
My wife and I can hardly figure out what to get each other any more. If she wants something, she gets it, and for me - my stuff is usually big, expensive, etc. so when I told her I had ordered the stuff for passive entry - she said "Merry Christmas". I mentioned a couple of other small things, and the wreath for the front of the JT - again, she said "Go order it, Merry Christmas".
Well, did finally get her a decent ring as we could never ever afford anything that wasn't the cheapest of the cheap so she had a new ring made and I did some projects around the house she's wanted done for months.

So the JT sat, I never even looked at it today - so what I did "to" it was keep it locked away in the garage.

Installed my Tuffy console insert. Bought it a while back but it has been sitting in my garage.

Wife got me quickfists for Christmas, so I finally got to install my recovery tool! It's a "rhino" (wildland firefighting tool) modified my by academy mate with a custom wood-and-carbon-fiber long handle. It will stay inside most of the time, only coming out for special occasions.

Installed a 2.5 inch lift up front, and a 3/4 Daystar spacer to level the rear, added 35 inch KO2 tires, and pro comp wheels. I also trimmed the fenders, and added Quake LED DRL lights to the chop brackets, on my 2021 Sport S Max tow.

Thank you. I attached a pic from the front. I am hoping to install the rear liners tomorrow, weather permitting. I was able to trim the fronts so I could re use them.
