Light bar ( the ski racks that came with it modded to have lights. Not quite finished I'm gonna rob a plug from the parts jeep so I can make the light bar removable in case of an enclosed trailer or fitting in the garage. Garden trim fender flairs for five bucks couldn't beat em . What y'all think?

nothing really new to report my grandfather passed away he was like my father, in total of 7 months from diagnosis of carcinoma lung cancer to death at 64. so as you can tell not a lot of time to work or play with the jeep as well as all the extra hours after work, working for my father in laws big rig body shop for extra money that never seems to make it to the jeep.

It is great ! I can't wait till I get my axles and lock them front and rear then I could go to 35s . It makes a big difference !
