You get thats right lucky me had a clamp the pull the brackets to the frame so I could get the bolts started worked decently luckily. Def got soaked from all the rain tho but oh well. Also snapped a bolt guess it was to the steering box dunno tho but the thing would come out oh well.

oh well. I need to install my durango box still, and there's some bolts I still need to get and reinstall. My front skid plate on one side is missing some, and my bumper on one side is missing a bolt as well.

Found this on the Texas shore line 8.3 miles east of High Island, TX. In one pic you can see the Jeep peeking around. It was a nice day to drive about 20 miles on mostly empty beach in the Jeep.

Also got some pics of a funnel cloud. Not that uncommon along the coast they just turn into water spouts if they stay out over the open water. This one was just on the edge of the water so it never came all the way down.

Lol I couldnt put the two bottom bolts back in my bumper due to the tow hooks being in the way. PO welded the bumper brackets to the tow hooks and brackets

ahh. I have another brace that goes with mine, but it's been fine, and I'll be getting a new bumper soon with recovery points so I'm not worried about it.

Changed the front diff fluid. Put 75-140 full synthetic valvoline limited slip gear oil in it. Helped the locker a bit and straightened out my bumper after landing on it backing down a hill I shouldn't of even tried. That's what happens when you show off for girls..

Getting ready to pull my front bumper to test for my new one that I welded up. Was looking at it and I have not a clue what this black plastic ball is that's mounted to the back of the stock bumper. Does it have something to do with emissions? What do I do with it when I install my new bumper? Lol.

It has to do with all the vacums in your jeep.i had a hose slip off mine and my heat only worked through defrost.it allows the vents to switch to floor and vent and defrost

Changed out my rear shocks and shackles. Now I just need to fix the shackle angle, and hopefully that will drop it back down to a decent height, its too high right now.
