That's not a rock light. That's a backup light

Wash and dress tires. Finally, found the radiator leak....its the plastic neck below the radiator cap. Debating on what to do.

Drove for the first time down to Quadratec, like a kid in a candy store. Had a friendly Convo with a guy behind me for a bit plus the guy at the parts window. Great atmosphere to make you feel better about dropping damage on the bank account.

Unfortunately I've been borrowing my friends ZJ and on a later trip to my local auto chain the rear hard line blew out from rust right at the mounting plate before the rear axle. So I have a fun day ahead for tomorrow.

Ripped my sunroof shade out after a couple days of fighting with it trying to get it off. One step closer to finishing up redoing my overhead consoles and headliner. Also ordered some relays and a fuse block for my roof lights

Took mine out to test out the new suspension parts. Works great, flexes a little better than before. Stock steering seems to be the only thing left limiting my downtravel, but that's getting replaced soon.

Got some new trail rash too, slid into a tree on a tight section of the trail.

On the way out I got a flat tire (bent wheel, lost air around the bead of the tire), and discovered my 33x12.5 spare on a stock wheel rubbed the control arms too easy to get me back to the road. So now I've got 3 33x9.5 BFGs, and 1 31x10.5 Treadwright Guard Dog lol. Looks kinda funny

Have you clearanced your shock mounting plates? I'm stock with bent LCAs, and my shocks plates are still the limiting factor for downtravel.
