I took advantage of the same rebate and need to do this.
Hopped in Tess this morning and would you believe that damn Jeep took me directly to the gun range...again...

Up here in Ohio when we wash our vehicles, we include the tires
I washed them, just didn't use a tire cleaner.

Well then sir, you have my humble apologies. I just thought that rear one appeared to be a little sketchy.
No apologies needed, I'm sure once @AndyG see's how I have been treating BB, he will probably try to reposes her!!!!!
I washed them, just didn't use a tire cleaner.
As much as I like to put tire cleaner or shine on them, the dang thing just doesn't last that long. Maybe a few days.
I need to get him his centercaps. They are in my truck.
Simple things this weekend:
Rotated all 5 tires.
Lubed the steering and sway bar end links.
(I tried to adjust my almost right-on driver half door. Busted another T40 bit. Got 1 of 6 door screws loose. Had a couple screws start to wallow out. I figured, it close enough, I'm not dorking with this anymore.) .

Getting prepped to mount Rubicon Rails. Scraped, wire brushed, mineral spirits, and now Rustoleum Rust Reformer. Every damn spot weld rusting. 24 Hours and then Rusty Metal Primer and a top coat.
Are these what you call torsion boxes? What are the big boxes up in the fenders? Like the one the battery tray mounts to. Are those just part of the fenders?

Damn straight. On a 3/8 breaker bar no less.
All told I broke 1 non-impact and 1 impact bit; and bent 1 non-impact and 1 impact bit.
( I can't wait to take them back to O'Reilly's because those guys were shocked I broke the non-impact bit. They up-sold me a whole set of impacts and said "These will get the job done". This will blow their minds.)

It's hard to find decent hand tools today
I found out after I broke a T 40 torx with a breaker bar, that if I used a 3/8 air impact or a 1/4 cordless impact with a 3/8 adapter, that they didn't break as often or at all.
I did exactly the same thing last fall. The torx part broke off in the bolt head. Tried to drill it out, no dice. Those torx bits are very tough. Fortunately it broke flush with the bolt head so I just painted over it with touch-up paint. I hope I don't have to remove the half doors for any reason .
I was dousing them with Kroil, heating them and then spraying Deep Creep even.
I probably didn't wait long enough, but yeah. I'm done with them (for now).
Kiwi, I noticed you're from New Zealand. My uncle lives there.
