What did you do to your JK today?

Took the wife’s JKU (and the LJ) out today on Genoa Peak Road. Peak elevation 9,300 and great views of Lake Tahoe.

My neoprene seat covers faded over time and looked horrible. Instead of buying new seat, I painted them with fabric paint and what a difference it made. Will see how good the paint holds up overtime. I ended up using 3 cans for the back seat total. I didn't paint the front covers since the driver side ripped and replaced them with another non-neoprene set.

Alright, had to run by Harbour Freight and pick up a set of drill bits, then ran by O'Reillys and got an exhaust hanger tool. Stopped by the grocery store and spent more $$$$

Got home and everything put up while the JKU cooled down.

Out with the old!

Dad was up at 7:30, boy didn’t get up till 9:00 then had to cook himself breakfast. Then had to get cleaned up to go to work by 2:00. But managed to get the radiator out, drop the pitman arm and disconnect the power steering lines to the gear box today, not too bad for 3 hours. All together replacing the radiator, steering gear box and tie rod assembly. No trip to HF 😂.

Might always be time, but not the cash 😂. Plus I hate going to the store when I am in the middle of working on something.

That's why I went early this morning before I started the job.

The drill bits were for a different job that I got my dad to do for me. At 84 there isn't alot he can do anymore, so I try to let him help me when he can.

Makes him feel useful and helps me also.
