What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[Advtres]

Managed to do a small portion of a black diamond run in Hollister Hills with the help of an excellent spotter… was feeling, well pretty accomplished- consider when I first came up to it I was like Heck to the NO!…

Finally replaced my busted taillight (Mounts broke when the bumper flexed up into it). Somehow the gorilla tape survived 4 weeks of Sleet, Slush, Rain & Snow. Glad I had packed it for my LBL trip.

Mounted my new bumper today..

That bumper is the benchmark for all bumpers in my opinion. Just simply bad ass.

Agreed, I just don't want the weight on my front end like that. But Looks great on that Xterra!

I can handle the weight, just not the price tag...ahahahahahaha. I just ordered a Westin HDX without the bumper part and will make my own. Took 3 months to make that decision. I just could not justify a $300 1.25" die for a tube bender just to fold up 2 tubes around the headlight. So I bought the hard part. LOL

I totally get it haha. I myself am about to order a Southern Style Offroad tube bumper, no protection cage above the Grille, but only adds ~60-70lbs. I don't believe I'll get the light bar cutout, I'm more of a fan of the Light Pod/Bulb housing look.

used it to go buy groceries for the week....

Nice pics. I have passed on buying (another) tube bender. I'm 65 and don't have many bends left in my life...lmao. I like that Southern style. Simple, effective and cool. I could bend 2 of those up a day and make some money but that's a lot of work and I'm ready to see more country.
Can't wait to get back to work. This cold is rough. Mocked up a radio console today. Final will be Wed. Got some doctor stuff tomorrow. Take care, be safe

Ran some forest service roads through Linville gorge (about 20 miles). Some pretty good weather-ruts and mud.
Came across a jeep parade . Pulled over to allow around 25 go by.

Do you have some tracks or good locations out that way? We did a small drive up there and hit the usual spots and ended up on a FSR off of Maple Grove Church Road but would love some more places up that way for an overnight or 3.

Don't have any tracks yet, but this Lat, Lon, 36.00053, -81.87585 is the beginning of a 9+ mile FSR. At the end make a left. Go about 1500 ft on blacktop, make a left on FSR Roseburg Edgemont. Goes another 5 miles.
Some of the spur roads off of these are closed till April 15.
There are several campsites along both roads.
Near the end of the Roseburg trail, just before the bridge is a dirt road to the right. Roseburg Gragg, 4 miles, very narrow with a lot of obstacles. Nothing a mild lift and good tires can't handle.

That drops you out near 221 crossnore area.

Hope that gives you a good start.

Gave it a flex test. That'll do.

I bought new full rubber floor mats for the brand new to me 2018 Jeep grand Cherokee limited and transferred all the camp gear from the bronco sport to Jeep WK2.

Holy twist it up! That's pretty epic. What tires are those?
Nice rig Sir.

I'm going to Toyos myself this year. Between the RT and the AT3.

Unplugged the cable under the steering wheel on my 5th Gen 4RNR. No more door chimes! This cannot be done through Carista.

> Installed my Lic.Tag relocation from behind the spare - NC State Police were not happy with it hidden. :/
Installed my GRMS and WeBoost antennas.
Removed all pinstripes and door guard moldings.
