I have one of those!

Used it as a deadweight to test my new Rhinopull 1000.

@Roots66 this was standing deadwood left over from the 2011 fire.

Got my TJ torn down to do some much needed maintenance. New brakes all around with a dual piston caliper in the front. Steering torn apart to make new tie rod and frag link with a heim kit to get rid of the tie rod ends that just don't last.... also have an air compressor to mount in the back, some wiring to clean up..... gotta pull the axle shafts and get measurements for spares, do an oil change, and diff service....... then I need to start building my trailer lmao.

Began Gear swap in the H2 from 4.10 to 4.88

Put a Midland MXT 275 with ghost antenna in the truck

Finally, got back to work on the YJ. Replaced the rear shackles with stock units and lifted the tank back in. After messing with the connector a bit, got the pump to energize and the Jeep started with 29ish PSI at idle and almost 40 with the FPR unhooked. About perfect by the book. I pulled the fan, fan shroud, belt etc. to prep for the timing chain/sprocket replacement. I've got to work tomorrow and out of time today, but good progress made today after almost 2 weeks of none.

So much room for activities.

Installed a fold down cutting board to one of the back doors.

Last minute decision today. Using only what I had laying around the house, I built a rack to carry the recovery boards.

And, the other door.

After a little back and forth in the old brain I installed a Decked system in the back of the truck. Not necessarily the best option, especially with a short bed truck, but it does provide security for your stuff. I also had to relocate my propane and water and ended up going from a 10 pound tank to a 5 pound tank because it wouldn't fit under the tent. I used Rago Fabrication mounts and some 3/4 thick UHMW as spacers.



Fancy hi-tech mounts and spacers

I also upgraded my OG sPod Source to a sPod BantamX with touchscreen. What a pain in the *ss removing everything and reinstalling it...ugh

I added this last weekend. I can't wait to try it out.

 

[Uniquely Us Adventures]

Did a little project work…. First added 120v plug in center consul then remove the seats and built a box for additional storage and the dogs to stand. The goal zero will be able to plug in to that outlet so that every time we’re driving he will have the option to be charging. :-)

 

[Christophwest1978]

Well I didn't do this today but the last thing I did to my trucks was finally getting around to installing my cb radio and antenna.

 

[eagle_A40]

Started fabricating a brush guard to mount to the winch bumper.


Test fitting one upright.


Temporarily installed both uprights to take measurements for the crossbars.

Had to remove the skid plate to access the mounting hardware. I'll re-install it after I'm done.



A rough draft of what it should look like.

 

[eagle_A40]

Managed to find time to continue work on the winch bumper brush guard today.
Welded cleaned, primed and painter with Restorium textured paint, to match the bumper.
I also re-installed the front skid plate.


Angled view below.
If I get time, I'll try to begin fabricating the horizontal headlight protection bars next week.


I added a disconnect switch (orange lever) in-between the battery supply and winch motor.
Also added a winch control extension harness. These are located at the base of the right side upright (left in photo above).
