I think we can work something out. You buy the parts for the carrier and I can glue them together. At $600 I may have to hold off for a bit though. I still got to finish the shop build, that's killing my fun money for a while.

I'll send you a few Benjamin's for your fun money if the tire carrier thing actually becomes a thing I don't even have a spare anymore so I don't need one anytime soon.

This awning is awesome. I got it for 120 off eBay and it's a 8.3'x8.3'.it came with a broken bolt on one of the poles, so i contacted them and they just gave me a full refund instead of sending a new pole out. So I fixed it and I have a free awning now.

Rear shackles, rock lights, sway bar disconnects, and rear lower quarter armor installed on the misses, she's 1/2" taller than me without the tent and I'm a bit upset.

Low CG rigs are all the rage these days. You win that battle.

If you want to go 10" of lift and 40s, lemme know. I'm sure we can sort something out.

I see some of you guys doing this from time to time. Being mine is just a DD never really thought much about it.
But it just occurred to me. A more permanent light source under the Jeep for when I am working on her.
I am finding that the older I get the more important proper lighting is when I am working on something.
How stupid an idea is this?
Things to keep in mind is that I power wash before I apply Fluid Film in October and again to wash it off in April.
