Nice rig though! I love the Forest Service Green, and the amber lights! Are the headlights stock? They look a bit whiter than normal to me...
Must really make ya jealous that it's in the 70's here then, huh? I HATE it.... would much rather be having cold weather problems.

@Basslicks if you know someone interested in publishing it let me know. I'm all ears. haha

@JeepaholicNinja They are the IPF H4 housings with PIAA Crystal IONs or whatever their branding is.


I will always prefer cold to heat. You can fix cold a lot easier than heat.

Haha the cold seems to bring out the problems with my Jeep and ATV too...ATV needs jump starts, Jeep takes a while to start and doesn't get completely warmed up until I'm half way to the destination, doors freeze shut, gas pedal gets pretty stiff with resistance, windshield wipers get stuck and the washers freeze, and, the worst by far, is the salt they put on the roads. We did a quick sanding and priming of a spot of surface rust on my front fender, and it's been about a month and the rust is worse than it was before we did that...And you can't wash your car because the last heat wave we had it was like 45 for a week back in early december...We've had people ask us how we keep my mom's "silver kia" so clean in the winter. Answer: It's not silver. It's a brown car. They thought the salt was like metallic silver haha

In Oregon all the tree huggers won't allow the use of road salts. So we don't have to worry about rust as much.

Agreed.... every time someone talks about "you should be used to the heat, you're from FL" my answer is.... maybe true, but you can put on more layers to get warm when it's cold... I can strip down to nothing when it's hot out and still be so hot I'm soakin' wet.

Best part about oregon is the seasons. rain with some ice, rain with some plant life growing, sunny with patches of rain, and rain with plant life dying. lol kinda a joke.

Anyone have an experience with JCR's rear tire carrier bumper? Or reference pics? Thinking about slapping one on. http://www.jcroffroad.com/product/XJ-R-DX.html

They're called bomb proof for a reason! A couple of our club members run them on their TJs, no issues. JCR's stuff is top notch and durable, made in USA.

Yeah my old rig had their winch front bumper and standard rear bumper. Loved it. Just wasn't sure about the tire carrier one. I think I'm gonna get it soon. Along with their sliders.

Thanks! I haven't posted any on Pintrest though. Not sure how they're getting there. I've seen it pop up a couple times as a referral in my Flickr stats and have wondered about it.
