Back from LineX. Haters need not comment 
Got it back from Linex. I paid the extra for the UV protectant. I went round and round on whether I should do it based on the pros and cons, but it does look nice. Even the wife commented on it. She even said, "why don't you just do the whole thing like that". My son wouldn't mind either. "It's not my Scrambler", but I don't think I'd like it forever so we'll stick to painting it next.
I did a lot of extra prep myself and wish I'd done a little but more, but the only problem I've noticed so far is the threads for the door strikers. Going to have to clean them out.
Oh, and another "problem" is that I'm going to have to powdercoat or paint the seat brackets, parking brake, and heater box so that they look nice too.

Assembled paint booth/summer (possibly winter) home for CJ/extra space for parties if it rains/etc... Maybe should have got a little smaller one. Going to try to hide it behind my shed, but may not succeed...
Got it from Costco. Very good instructions for something from China.

I had one of those when I was stationed in Hawaii. It worked very well but it's life was ended in a wind storm blew through(50mph - 65gusts however) because I couldn't anchor it too solidly on the grass.

Took the top off completely, which hadn't happened since I put it on however long ago, for some topless driving and photos.

Couldn't help myself on the boat ramp. Would have gone out farther if I had proper attire to wade back in.

Installed new marine speakers in the dash.
Installed an OEM clock and wired it up.
Also fried something in the dash. Tested the dash lights and I saw smoke. No idea where it came from. I love electrical gremlins.

Looking great, Eric. It's amazing how much different these look with the top off.
I just picked up 2 more of those Costco sheds... Craigslist deal for $100/pair. I'll have three of them lined up out back...hope the neighbors don't complain.
Pulled my fenders and flares for re-powder coating. Forgot how much stuff was installed after the fenders. Ugh. Also masked off and started repainting my firewall. Should have just gone with satin black like I first intended.

Headed out this morning with no real destination in mind. Just needed to drive my jeep. Drove around for a couple of hours. Came home, grabbed my Chevy to take my grandmother to the store, and see cute girl in a baby blue 8. This is the only other cj8 i have seen in Boise, ID, but never seem to see it when i am in my 8. Just my luck i guess.
Is there a missed connections section in this forum?

Yeah, but that would just be ammunition to convince why wife we need to add a third bay onto the garage

Mine held up great through torrential downpours/floods and heavy winds when just staked into the dirt....into a hard surface like yours it should last through most anything. My stakes just came out during that freak wind storm and the thing flipped over, if I had it more secure to the ground it would have made it.

no idea where it came from... It was probably after market smoke since not much is factory on the Jeep.
removed clock. it was very noisy and was at least 5 minutes slow per hour. Actually saw the second hand go back in time a few times.
also fixed the passenger front turn signal that hasnt worked since I got the Jeep. Needed to sand the connectors, lots of oxidation. Now all my lights work!

Once the magic smoke gets out, things don't work anymore.
