Saturday we hit the Flats Off Road Park:











Lot of fun!
I didn't get any selfies of myself, however, I'm waiting on a video of me getting 3ft of air clearing a ledge... Line was so fun I did it about 3 times that day.

This happened the third time:


Should have finished my Rock Sliders Sooner....

Well been taking care of some minor issues over the last month and got some more projects in the works:

Replaced the tail lights I broke, Cleaned the NSS so my reverse lights work again, and installed some mini LEDs in the factory bumper.

HUGE difference in light out put from the two little 10W LEDs, it's like having a set of head lights on the back of the rig when backing up. Only cost me $4.

Got to keep the rig street legal with the doors off and my old driver side mirror broke.
So made a new mount that makes it easy to attach, detach, and adjust.





Also, I've learned just how easy it is to remove the rear glass and put back so I've made it standard when removing the doors

Well the Jeep got the cancer again...



Thankfully, I've got a welder now so these patches although not perfect will last much longer than screwing down sheet metal to the floor.





More to come on this project as I've got to add seam sealer next and then I'm putting down an interior again... I've grown tired of just a bead lined floor.

While I pulled the interior out I decided to upgrade it with some more cup holders.
I know I could have done a 97+ console but figured this is a free mod so well see how it turns out.

Here's where I'm at so far on it:

Cleaned the floor and painted it.







So the front floor is now ready for me to install the thermo / sound deadening guard.


Also I re-rubber coated the rear of the Jeep. It's going to stay Bed lined:

I've got rubber mat I'm putting down on top of it.
I've only got $40 in a lol of it, so if it doesn't work I'll get some carpet to go back in it.
