Plasti Dip the grille and cleaned up my chop job on the bumper. I actually wanted to cut all the way up to the flair but i didnt know if cutting that clip would cause an issue on the bumper.
New tires go on Wed.

Did the HD cooling setup. Had the HD electric fan/shroud already, so I put on the fan clutch and nylon fan blade this afternoon. Started it up and wow, what a difference! I could feel it pushing air over the motor! Hopefully this will be a huge benefit while towing.

Bought a used ****** with 50,000 miles on it and a (small) warranty. The Jeep had been rear-ended and the fluid was nice and red. Hopefully, will have it by the weekend but probably early next week, then I can start reassembly - finally!

Hot water and a rag then shop vac it up

That is what I did. Just waiting for it to dry completely to see if it is stained. I dumped the shake at lunch and just had paper towel and a few rags to try and wipe up as much as I could. So it sat for about 5 hours before I hit it with water and shop vac.
Hope it's not too bad.

you may want to try and take off the seat covers and toss them into the washer i have been told that they are somewhat easy to take off i just have not gotten around to try myself i have a few seats out of a few KJ's to play with

I took a water hose to my back seats.....they are clean now. Dried in a few days. No smell. But that's extreme. I also have no carpet

Today I fixed my passenger side window that had been zip tied up for two years. I used a $25 metal part from autoandart.com off ebay. Worked perfect. Wife is sooo happy now. Only if I could find a low priced ac compressor for my 06......only if

Got the Powertrax yesterday. :D My second order from RRO without incident.

(Thanks UPS for taking an extra 12 days past the 1st delivery attempt to get it to me :manos:)

Its beefier than I thought - for a Dana 30. I have a pretty large hand.

Finally all the parts are here and I can begin installing:
- powertrax no-slip (ring gear has to be demounted)
- differential housing-end seals
- differential housing-end needle bearings
- new intermediate shaft
- new CV shafts
- RRO arms & balljoints
- clevis spacers (2" locknuts)
- cradle drop (uni-strut washers - square, 1/4" thick)

:banana-mario:

Why do you have to pull the ring gear to install the Powertrax?
