What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

I renewed my relationship with Maxx

After lifting the Jeep, I decided it was time to try the Maxx Coupler again. I flipped it to get things more level, reinstalled it, took a picture and sent it to AT-Overland saying, "did I do it right?"
In a little while my phone rang and it was Mario Donavan saying, "no; you didn't do it right..."
Thanks, Mario. My colleague and I went outside (in the rain), un-backwards it, and now I'm pretty happy about it again.

So much smoother than a lunette and pintle.

I relocated my compressor and air tank into my battery box. I had originally planned to do this but just ran out of time and the battery box was getting crammed with all sorts of junk ( not too safe with the exposed battery terminals !) you can see where the compressor was just strapped to the floor in the background.

I had to separate the tank from the compressor but the wiring was long enough and only one air line had to be changed out. It was a very tight fit but it works great.
Now everything is mounted in the box and covered. Next will be storage for all the displaced junk and tools.

I also got some 20 lt jerry cans and mounting brackets and mounted them to my roof rack. The strap down cans that I needed for the Moose on the Loose trip a few weeks ago were not the best set up and on one occasion they almost fell off !

Decided that I wasn't going to fab custom mounts for the lights I had and ordered a rock light setup from Off Road Only (LiteSpot). The ones I had will eventually end up on the M101 as area lighting.
 
New thermostat, sepintine belt, and water pump on my 96 XJ, not as bad as I thought it would be, went with Napa, new WP for $38. Also new front rotors. With 188xxx, it's fun time for J.E.E.P apparently.

After driving it with the dog to get coffee, I decided to give the inside a thorough vacuuming. It really needs a good wipe down, too. It's better than it was, though. My parents are coming to visit for a couple weeks to spend time with the baby and my dad is insistent on using the Jeep even though I offered them the BMW to use while they are here.
