Default if your looking for a great bumper check out nates4x4

I just got a bumper from nates4x4 last week at a great price and the build quality is amazing. I'm even thinking about getting a rack and rear bumper from there!

I even made a install video:

Good point...

JY haul a few days ago, got valve cover, EV6 connector, and found a KJ that I yanked a "BATTERY POWER" cover for the cigar lighter. Also said KJ has the 8.25 with disc brakes... and though the rims are long gone, it's sitting on the stupid shock mounts and not the rotors/backing plates in the damn mud! Going to have to go back with some help to get those suckers off.

Yesterday finished cleaning and testing as best as I can my new fuel injectors, today worked some more on custom air intake.

Put in a new valve cover gasket and throttle position sensor. Broke the damn front CCV plastic tube trying to take it off. Valve cover gasket change went well otherwise LOL. I just patched it up with a lot of electrical tape until I can order a new plastic elbow and tube. Darn plastic is brittle as hell. Hopefully now my wife can get off my case about the oil spot in our garage haha.

worked on "ALLAN" (xj#3 in my driveway) replaced the water pump, put in a thermostat (PO thought it wouldnt run hot if he pulled the thermostat. PO didnt realize that the dime sized hole in the waterpump, which leaked all the coolant out, was why it was running hot) put on a swaybar since PO broke it using the sway bar as a winch point.

all this so i can drive it to my buddys electrical class, and temporarily "donate it to science" and let them figure out the short in the dash, because im damn tired of dealing with it, lol
