Pretty productive week for the Jeep. I have a bunch of pictures, but I need a computer to upload them. Here is what was accomplished:

Patched crack/hole/rust in frame
Custom differential guard
Went wheeling
New O2 sensor
Oil change
Seafoam

The new O2 sensor made a noticeable difference right away.

I've been tinkering on the jeep a lil bit, and I have some pictures to prove it. I just don't have a computer to upload them haha.

Went wheeling once with my 33s. Looks so much better than 31s, plenty of room in the wheel wells. Need longer rear bump stops.

Made my disconnects out of GC end links.

Relocated my brake line brackets in the front because now I'm disconnected on the trail haha.

Got a fifth 33x12.5 tire from a friend to use as a spare

Should have a computer to upload pictures by next week.

Snow day today. I made this in my spare time. Only expenses were the hinges and latch.

Added a mat to the bottom and foam to the sides. All that's left is cover the outside and fill it up.

Thanks for the reply. It's really just a tool box. The front is on a hinge and can swing open so I can access the inside while things are loaded on top. I'm keeping all of my recovery gear, tools, and emergency type stuff inside. It covers the entire rear floor, but it's still sturdy enough for my 100 lb. dog to sit on it

Went wheeling with a friend who has a 95 wrangler on 33" federal couragia tires and a powertrax in the front. Tons of fun

I purchased a 16 gallon gas tank Skid from a member on here a while back, and I cut it to fit my 20 gallon tank and painted it. Installing soon. I also installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge because the electric one is unreliable. I run 50-60 psi.
