Finally had some time to move the track bar mount upwards. It's now parallel with the drag link. I also installed the Boostwerks' Ultimate steering brace.

I had a black storage Roto Pax laying around since I didn't mount it on my tire carrier like I originally planned. I ordered it online a while back and didn't realize that it didn't have a weather seal. So I mounted inside the cargo area where the factory spare mounted.

Then I drilled a few holes and added this super-duper aerodynamic beverage decapitator. I think I gained about 3-5 horses.

Is that a homebrew HiLift mount or did you buy it somewhere?

Pulled the drive shafts and dropped the cross member in preparation for the looming TC over haul. Going back out to tinker a little more and maybe pull the transmission mount while I am out there. I figure why not replace it while I have everything else apart

That brace looks real good. It's on the list for sure. Contemplating waiting on their integrated hidden winch plate but I'm guessing it's gonna be pricey. Your rig is looking good man

Peeled off these ugly fender stickers. Removed the rain guards. They belong on Cadillacs not on jeeps.
Washed it for the first time. Tied my hammock up then took a nap.

I bought it a few years ago from Morris 4x4, made by River Raider. It wouldn't take much to fabricate, it mount to the rear seat upper latch.

Right on.... still trying to figure out what to do with mine. It's been really useful so far, but trying to find a place for a 60" on an XJ is no easy task.
