thanks, kinda scary cutting the braces out, used some self tapping drywall screws to hold the new steel in place, being twice as long I'm hoping the bow doesn't come back.
What did you do to your Mopar today?

Picked up a new Battery Tray for the Charger!
It didn't have one in the past, just some old jury rigged piece of rusty sheet metal that was sorta welded on there.

Strapped up all the fuel lines today after lunch. Fuel system is complete now, ready for test and leak checks.
I also put my gravel guard on the 3/8 CUNI hard lines running under the chassis. Like I told the fellas on the 1st Gen site, I used a 1" Electrical Shrink Tubing for that... the Heavy Duty stuff with the adhesive liner inside for industrial/Outdoor buried connections, etc...

Set the rear end under the chassis on jack stands for now. I'll get the leaf springs installed tomorrow if I get the chance.

Changed the turn signal switch, while I was at it decided to see if some quick elbow grease could revive the stalk.

New shocks on my 115k mile wrangler.
First two bolts I touched - top of the right rear shock, above the tailpipe, and 3" from the fuel tank - snapped. Didn't want to use the torch that close to the tank....but I did on the left side so nothing else would snap. Carefully. And it worked.
I had to hole saw thru the trunk floor to drill out one of the broken bolts. I matched the size of existing floor plugs elsewhere in the Jeep, and put a plug in it when I was finished drilling and tapping.
Had to use the torch on the front tops as well, stupid threaded-rod-with-a-top-nut design.....but finally managed to get it all together and it DOES ride better. We'll see if I get the death wobble again....if I do, control arm time.

Installed the drip rail trim that was just fixed and polished.

Dropped off a BB motor plate at a local water jet for them to connect my center punch marks. This plate is for my Dirty B1

I fired the parts cannon at the Grand Cherokee hoping to resolve the annoying evap system small leak code. I put in a new PCV while I was at it since it's at 76k miles. What a PITA on a 3.6. I stuck a 3/8 bolt in the end of the new PCV to get enough leverage to twist it in.

I got the fenders gravel guarded and painted last weekend. Been working on masking the body so I can shoot some paint on it sometime in October.
