Looks good, I did the same for a while but as soon as something rubs on it like a branch or something it peels. Hope you have better luck than I did

I would but have my little boy. There is an area on SouthWest side of Carova that looks like innocent water puddles. These are holes and can swallow your jeep and send water over the hood. The 'deep water' signs seem to keep being removed from that spot.
Are you going solo?

Let me know if you find the banked slalom trail and hill climb. There is an area on SouthWest side of Carova that looks like innocent water puddles. These are holes and can swallow your jeep and send water over the hood. The 'deep water' signs seem to keep being removed from that spot.

I'm just going to be driving on the beach I'm not going to try and go through any water holes without another vehicle. Also is there an air station down the road so I can air up my tires?

There is a gas station 1 or 2 miles from the beach access. A rickety air pump that costs a quarter to start. There is a high pressure hose also but it is hidden somewhere for the locals. Time for on board air.
Guess I couldn't go anyway. Discovered two bad motor mounts, only six months old.

For now I will reinstall the old mounts which may be factory, they still look good with no cracks in the rubber.
The 'Anchor' brand mounts are what split and cracked in six months with abuse.

The BrownDog mounts shift the weak point to the mounting plate and bolts. So I would likely need their mounting plates as well. $350. Ouch

You could just buy the motor mounts right now and the super brackets later. That's what I'm doing. It's not like the factory brackets are flimsy. You're just making the mounts stronger than the bracket until you can afford the super brackets.
