Bumpers are painted.
Frame rails are happy.

Hopefully I'll get a few missing pieces for Jeep night show and tell.

Also Jeep will be getting professionally detailed shortly.

With winter coming up a nice coat of wax done by someone who knows that they are doing will be helpful to what little paint i have left.

TeraFlex Monster Rear Lower CA's, lengthened about 1/8" over stock. Reprogrammed computer for my tires (shifting MUCH better now).

Still have an elusive rattle - sounds like a loose muffler (but it isn't). Also have (what sounds like) 2-3 very squeaky shocks (Bilstein 5100's). Will investigate the noises this weekend.

Replaced driver side axle shaft - stupid c-clip...

Installed Tuffy glove box to try and keep those thieving degenerates at bay...
Pic doesn't show it but color is spot on and there is actually a bit more storage room than stock.

Mounted a Kargo Master rack to the roll bar. I wanted something that just mounted to the roll bar for extra gear for camping and what not. Can't use the soft top or hard top with this set up as that's not want I wanted. Just wanted a set up only for roll bar mounting. It was mounted in two places. I used the original holes in the roll bar for the soft top frame and use a u-bolt for overkill. It is mounted as you can see with a wing nut but that was replaced with a nylon washer.

This could go in the vent section as well

For some damn reason my Rock Krawler shocks, which I love by the way, are rubbing on the frame rail. Also my damn driver coil spring was rubbing on the power steering pump bolt which is attached to my poly upper track bar relocation bracket. My springs were bowed in so I reversed my springs and grinded down the frame rail. Hopefully this workers better.


This is where the shock is rubbing so I grinded it down. If you remember I did this as a quick fix on the Rubicon Trail but needed to make it better.


The next two pics is where the coil spring was rubbing the power steering pump bolt. Damn near rubbed 1/4 of the ****** off.




Here is the damage to the shock housing. Just scrapped up really as there is no structural damage.

You need these. Tell the wife it is a safety issue!

Used my key in the lock! This is only the second time since I bought it. I'm having that pesky no start issue so I disconnected the battery to reset the PCM. Needed to get inside but the doors were locked. My keyless entry didn't work:bawling:. Actually had to use the key, and was afraid it might not work.

That's freaking awesome!

Guess you haven't seen pics of Spencer's Jeep...... It's a 09 with 70k, on it's second motor and looks like a 87 Jeep(damage wise):D

I barely recognize my JK from just two months ago...

Finally got a front locker in, RK tie rod, steering stabilizer, and had a local shop fab up this grille guard:

OR-FAB Roll Cage

Factory Half doors (from a couple weeks ago, but I don't think I posted a pic)

Next mod... 37's. Then I think I'm done for a while. Maybe.

If you ever want to get rid of the half-doors, let me know. I might be interested.
