Well this last week has been very busy. Let’s see.... I installed some skid plates, a warn semi hidden wench kit, a wench and a new Hf radio ( Yaesu FT 891 and ATAS antenna. Whew that was a task.
I think the wench is going to get peeved being put into that tight space...it’s gotta be some sort of OSHA enclosed space violation...plus, I don’t think her arms will provide enough reach to an anchor point to enable a recovery. A winch might be better.
Well it’s a 5000 lb wench with 80’ of master pull sun line. She should pretty content. Lol

I just installed my Genesis Dual Battery kit in my Wrangler with 2 Odyssey Extreme batteries.

I also ran battery cables and battery monitor wires from the dual battery kit to the back of my Wrangler in preparation for the galley I'm building. It will have an inverter, freezer/fridge, propane stove, 12v and 110v outlets and storage drawers. Next weekend is test fitting before paint

I also have a FSR RTT waiting for the Rhino Pioneer Platform to ship (4-6 week backorder)...

Tomorrow I'm installing the door hinge steps!!!

Used it. Nothing to crazy j...
Love those T@B trailers!
I am still on the fence about it. The wife is in love with it and she did all the homework, research and budgeting, and she is happy so I am happy. It pulls really nice. I still would have preferred the Boondock T@G *shrug*. The workmanship on the T@B is awesome. No particle or MDF anywhere.

Yeah you probably don’t even notice it’s even back there at times. They’ve come a long way since I first seen them and I still like them. Just can’t justify the cost and have no where to store it lol.

Pulled the water pump this morning and found an interesting rollmark to see on a US Jeep.

BJC=Beijing Jeep Corporation. That 01 is a build date code.
