What Have You Done For Your G-Wagon Today?

I looked and didn't see another thread like this... So I thought I would start one. I figure it is my way to let other see what I do and to generate new conversations or rehash old ones.

So... this past weekend I installed a new grill...


Yesterday I installed new rear side markers and new rear tail lights. The tail lights were working but really cloudy... Just old plastic. The new ones are LED with dynamic turn signals. The side markers and tails are error free thankfully!

From the back


From the side

I'm not a fan of the caged turn signals plus I will be replacing those also this weekend with a lower profile LED turn signal. I saw on another post where the person plugged the holes with rubber grommets. So I ordered some 10mm rubber grommets off of Amazon.

Plugged!

This weekend, hopefully, I will be swapping in new headlights with the DTRL feature.

I am building a stockpile of parts that I either know that I will need... Or think I might need. I bought a crankshaft position sensor to keep in the drawer along with an oil lever sensor... Even though it was replaced not too long ago. I have already stocked enough oil for several oil changes and bought 4 K&N Oil Filters.

Other stuff on the way... No more need for the 6 CD changer so I will install a 1,000W pure sine wave inverter. I'll set it up with 2, 400W outlets with covers, 2 USB outlets and a cigarette lighter outlet along with a master battery switch to shut everything off so there is no power drain when it is not being used.

So... What have you done for your G-Wagon today?

Added a canvas bag off of Amazon. I doubt the sticky pads will stay and I will need to find a different way to affix it. But this carries my Viair compressor, tire plug kit and some basic+ hand tools and sockets
