What did you do to or with your CJ today?

After spending many hours over the last couple months looking for the stupid dash grab handle.....

Was gathering headlight buckets and such, and stumbled across it -

Mounted a CB antenna, and ordered seat covers. My 2 and 4 year old love to "help" with the jeep. The original seats need a little help with there help.

Where did you mount the antenna?

The Firestik CB antenna is mounted on a bracket that attaches to the right rear tail light. Its a . Ran the cable around the top of the fuel port using the screws already there to hold the cable with a cable fastener. Cable goes in the tailgate, under the carpet and, as of now, come out of the center console. We have some ideas on where to mount the CB but really need to get it and play with where we like it. Also excited about the bestop seat covers coming in.

I received my new grill mount park / turn lights. My passenger side turn no longer worked and was diagnosed as a housing issue. Wired them up and put them in, and all is well with the world. I rigged up the hatch latch cable, it had been pulled out of the handle portion somehow. We'll see if that'll work. I also put the seats back in so I can move it around to do some much needed power washing of the under carriage. Then, when all that is done, I'm going to give my daughter her first lesson in driving a manual Transmission . WooHoo!

Picture goodness :-)

Nice improvement - I'd say that was a bit overdue huh??

Maybe the light was actually coming on but could not be seen through that lens! Just kidding. Nice improvement.

Way overdue. I'm in the process of paying for years and years of neglect.

That's definitely a possibility They're in a box now, so if I have issues in the future I can cannibalize them, but the lenses are gone.

Today started with power washing the under carriage, then flushed and bled the brakes, then started teaching my daughter how to drive a manual. That was great times. Then I found my radiator is leaking. It's a bummer, but it's not going to put a damper on my day. Just look at this smile

Nice! My son learned stick in my Scrambler. Well, tried. He was too worried about it. Although he was fine. He thought he was going to kill my clutch. Instead he got more practice in the JKU

That's what she keeps telling people She's got a brother to fight about it with. In the meantime I'm going to work on it and drive it myself.

Her goal is to drive it her last day of school, it's her senior year. She's pretty set on it to. It may just take us that long to get it ready for her and get her ready for it. She was stressing the clutch early on, but I told her if it goes out we'll just have to replace it. It would be well worth the money, not that I think she's going to hurt it any.

My daughter drove a manual mini in HS and she killed the clutch in one year. She is better now

When I was younger, I always said my kids would learn to drive stick before they got their first car. Life got in the way, and we ended up getting a good deal on an auto, so it just fell to the wayside. I'll do better with my son, assuming life doesn't get in the way

How could you not smile when driving a jeep. Even more so when learning the dreaded clutch. Today my Bestop seat covers came in. Pretty happy so far. The front seats were easy, we will see how the back seat goes. I could only find the flip/fold seat cover, however ours does not flip or fold. We'll see how this works out.

got my seats back from the upholstery shop,gonna install them next weekend.

Finally replaced my manual brakes with the power brake booster from my parts Jeep. My manual brakes worked perfect, but I figured I might as well switch to power, because why not?... Every thing swapped over perfect but now my brake pedal sets about 2" lower then before, and it only has about half the "throw" that my manual had. I guess this is normal?
