All I did was get out of the groove and push my skid plate up onto something solid, which kept my tires from being able to dig. I may get another chance at this same mud puddle this weekend. When you call this a light Jeep it piques my curiosity. I've wanted to weigh this Jeep at the local truck stop for awhile. Everything on this Jeep with the exception of the factory seats and the dash pad has been replaced with something else. 99% of the replacement parts are made of steel. Maybe I will cruise by the truck stop today to visit the scales. |

Getting the Jeep ready for my yearly trip to Ouray and Moab this July. For the long drive out there and back I've always wanted a way to carry my handgun without it being on my hip the whole time. I stumbled across this mount for the 2d JK from Molle Platform Solutions.
Attached File I then used the QLS detachable mount system from Safariland to be able to quickly attach/detach my holster to the mount. So far its a very sturdy mount, and even with the huge holster nothing gets in the way of the transfer case lever. Attached File |

In the last 2 weekends I’ve personally put in BDS 2.5” coils, Fox 2.0 shocks, Currie antirock sway bar, poison spyder BFH bumper, and 35x12.5x15 tires. It had a ford 8.8 Rear axle swap out of an explorer in it when I bought it. (I started with those mods, because I picked most of it up second hand from some buddies) Still need to do control arms (either bds or Currie) a Fox steering stabilizer, and maybe a super 88 rear axle kit.. I’m still between putting in a 44 front axle, or a super 30 axle kit with chromoly axle shafts.. Then I’m into deciding on either selectable lockers, or possibly a Detroit locker truetrac LSD. Oh, and also kicking around the idea of a Currie currectlync steering system. Stupid expensive hobby. |

No pics of the whole Jeep but part of it, Found my exhaust leak(s) was expecting to find a cracked header (because Jeep) which is why i had already ordered up a new one. So i guess ill put the old header in the attic as a spare. I had put this gasket and header on about a year and a half ago.

Only had 7800mi on my '18 jkur when I spotted oil on the garage floor. Required a new timing chain cover re-seal. Not a big deal but it gives me pause.
Still within the 3yr/36,000. If the new bronco doesn't wow me enough to trade in, I'll probably extend the 5yr/60,000 portion of my warrantee. |
