Not as exciting as Qaddiction’s 42 ‘s. But gave it a good wash and installed new Chrome spokes on steering wheel . The old ones were faded and peeling

Gave up looking for something that fit my need without spending $$$.
Need to get a quick strap for the 5lb propane tank. And put in a stud for some Roto-PAC style tanks.

Ordered Powerstop Z36 heavy duty brake kit and should be arriving by tomorrow. I know there's better options but it was over budget. Should be better than stock brakes stopping 35s.
Oh yeah , Powerstop will more than get the job done !!
I like hearing that. You using that setup? I have a buddy who is and loves it.
PO had put in new rotors and pads about a month before I purchased.
So going to wear out pads before I switch over to the Z36.
A buddy loves his . Seen them installed on Auto Edits and he gave
a super tutorial of them .Also read many many positive review. Totally sold .
No, out of my budget. If I didn't buy new tires recently then maybe I would have sprung for the big brake kit.
I am going with the full kit when I need to replace the brakes.

Last year, I switched from ceramic pads to semi-metallic. It made a big difference and Im satisfied while running 35's (D rated) Mickey Thompsons. Stops lovely.
My point being: a big brake kit is not always needed for everyone.
I removed my Hammerhead running boards to get them sandblasted. When I get them back I'm going to Rhino Liner them.

Dual purpose.
The 5lb propane stayed put on our first weekend outing. No rattles and still solid.
This extra 2.5 gal of gas will come in handy on the Dusy.

Rotopax is awesome . Good idea mounting to ladder
Gave the Jeep a good workout today . Got it nice & dirty .
Found a hill climb not on Giai maps . It is now though . Unfortunately photos level out hills so doesn’t do the trail justice . Awesome Wheeling Day

Southern Vancouver Island . British Columbia . Canada . Just past Duncan in the foothills of Mt Provost.
It’s been so hot and dry here lately forestry has limited access by closing a few gates . So couldn’t explore where I originally wanted to. But found some cool trails not on Giai for whatever reason .
The red trail circled in black. Lower portion was 20=30 degree incline , washed out in several areas.
Thinking it turns into a river during heavy rain. It was awesome

Rear Lower Control Arm Bushings. Fronts were just as bad but got those done a bit ago. Finally had the parts to finish the job.
I do believe that this was part of my steering issues, even being in the rear.
Next up, ball joint’s.

Worn out bushings, front & rear can most def effect handling .
Is it difficult to remove the old ones and press in new ones ?
