Well, traveled to my best bud’s place and replaced rear shock mounts on axle for his 1995 yj and replaced upper rear control arm mounts on 2015 jk. A good days work done, now time to fabricate a couple of tow bars and brackets.

Must be nice to have all that garage space (y)
I do amazing things in just my garage but i love to come to his place with his big shop just for this type work. If anyone needs upgrades or repairs, out in Monterey county Ca feel free to contact me and can get about anything done on a jeep.

That's a nice UTV you've got there too! How much time and money do you think you have into that thing.

I looked into a RZR once, but then it became apparently obvious to me after paying 30k for one brand new, I could easily dump another 30k into it in parts, which is what made me back out of buying one. As if my Jeep isn't expensive enough :LOL:

I spent about 12k rebuilding utv and so many accessories and upgrades, no one could touch it and make it like me for that cost. That is my get crazy fun machine to get places real fast to explore. The jeep will be the pleasure cruise exploring ride, although the yamaha is super super comfortable it’s crazy.

Makes sense! I always tell people one of the reasons I have so much invested in my Jeep and not an UTV is because my Jeep has heat and A/C, which I use frequently, especially out here in Arizona!
 
I know that, the jeep is nice for the a/c. The yamaha is warm and very comfortable for the cooler seasons and mountain trails. Loving both now and being able to have both worlds. And just finished the tow bar set ups for two jeeps today including mine and buddies fully loaded rubicon. He wanted me to make a super strong bar so he got it.
