Put the swaybar to use and did some laps at a concrete go-kart track with banked turns. The tires were making all kinds of noise being locked.
Blew out a bumpstop jumping camel humps on the beach.
Drove off and up sand ledges 3 - 4 feet high.
Hit 50 mph on the beach.
Drove through reeds 8 feet high, like a corn field.
Did not even make it to the trail.

It got dark. The forest trails were further south and my buddy had to drive a long way home... If you make it up her we can have some fun.

Fixed that pesky cooler line that leaks. My jeep leaks so much sometimes I think it's trying to kill it's self.

Filled it up, used it to deliver pizzas, then filled it back up. 13.6 mpg. :/ is that common? 90% city driving. I guess it ain't to bad cossidering I sit and idle when I get out and givem their pizza and then have to start and cut it off when I get back. After 10-15 of doing that on a shift. Burns the juice.

I finished up my upper/lower Adjustable Control arm install along with upper axle bushings , and Iro tierod . On the test drive I put 80.00 worth gas in it. Cause my wife loves to run it dry ! Then I took it to work and tested the flex. I was not able to flex it out cause I could not move further forward. But I can say I had all 4 planted solid before when I tried the LR would lift when I was 4ft from the fence
