This is a fun thread I’ve seen on a few other forums. Can be anything from mods to drives, to washes, etc. pictures are always a plus!

So what did you do to your Jeep today?
i put on my tube doors for the first time since the 35s and i love it!

I had a rigid tonneau cover installed, and love it. JFTops used my Jeep for measurements to make a 2 door version of their cover. It's made of 3/4" hardwood with Rhino lining, and includes a vertical piece that makes the back of the Jeep secure when I lock the tailgate.

My wife and kids needed a step, so I got the Barricuda rock sliders from extreme terrain.
Price is right. I was worried about the body bolts, some heat with a propane torch they came right out. Getting them back in was a littler harder, but mission accomplished. All told I removed the factory sliders and installed these in 50 min. They weigh 25 lbs each, the factory ones are 20 lbs each, so a total of 10 lbs added. Not bad!

My grab bars came today. Really nice. Well made. I didn’t put the material around the bottom of the handles. Wanted the red to pop out more.

Be careful with these. The material will rapidly deteriorate in the sun (I don't think it is UV stable) and they will tear and the handle come free.

Mine failed with my 80lb daughter pulling herself into the Jeep and she fell and almost smashed her head on a rock. We were lucky.

Many others on here have reported similar failures.

It is too bad as they look good and a nice concept but unfortunately cheap shit material from China.

Well shit.... 40K miles, and I forgot that I even had a cabin filter...I may need to check that out later today.. haha!
So I didn't even know I had a cabin filter-in my Jeep. Both of my VW's have had one. I've only had it 8 months, so the question is did the former owner ever change it out, or the dealer where I bought it used? I'll have to take a look at it.

Is that undercoated? Axle looks textured like bed liner or something?
That's fluid film that I had put on last fall, cuz I lived in VT. Now I'm trying to find a place here in SoCal to remove it.

edit: nasty sh*t

Want to get sliders that go into body bolts but very afraid of snapping them. How long did you heat?

Took it in for first free oil change (yep, only five quarts) and 5 tire rotation. They also confirmed my loose steering and got my steering box ordered. The part is backordered as I expected, but I at least wanted to get into the queue.

I also changed out my cabin and engine air filters at 5800 miles / 5 months. Mainly because I’ve done a good bit of dusty off-roading. Neither were awful but I went ahead and changed them anyway.

So it's dirt or something that has gotten stuck to the fluid film?

Perhaps a hot water pressure wash would get it off? Or make it worse.

Yep, crud encrusted. They say biodegradable cleaner or degreaser should work. I'd think a steam clean would work too, but would have to be careful of her underbits. Not something I can tackle in my buddy's driveway. lol
