End of the season sadly. I never felt so claustrophobic

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you all got something good. I got the Boostwerks ulitmate steering box brace from my in-laws and I ordered Meanlemon's battery cables for myself.

Sorry I'm late to the party but I've finally made it! Jeeps coming around very nicely. You're starting to deviate from mild but haven't quite encroached on wild yet. Better watch it.
Do you carry a spare on the trail? I've been thinking about a spare tire solution a lot recently. Really don't want to do a rear tire carrier. I'm envisioning swapping to Grand Cherokee rear seats and only using the long section and building a mount for the spare behind the driver's seat. Not sure how well it will work but I would like to keep my rear visibility and not have a full size spare cantilevered off my rear unibody rails. |

I have 6 tie down points in the back of my Jeep. I drop my rear bench and strap the spare down upside down so i can load tools and such into the backside of the wheel. I could figure out a swing out attachment for my bumper if i wanted to. The spare fits at angle with the rear bench up but I haven't tested it on the trail. Thank you, i think I'm finally at the state where I'm happy with it. Aside from some minor things I don't see me going bigger tires and I like the mobility on and off road with the stock axles.

Finally got to installing my Boostwerks steering brace that I received as a Christmas gift from my in-laws. The thing is a piece of work for sure. I can tell it stiffened the front end even over bumps. I don't hear as much creaking from the front anymore on the same normal drive I take to the gym and such. Overall it compliments the rear towers and the seats that made a big handling difference prior. I also added some nice Pioneer 6.5" speakers to the front doors to help with the old beat up Sony's that have been in there since high school.

Need to get in one of those rubicon express track bar brackets and track bar brace and it'll really make the front stiff.

Planning on some fab work soon for the Jeep, keep an eye out. Still just driving around no issue aside the cooling system not allowing my engine to get up to 210. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...907a45c5e2.jpg
