Had some views of the sky today . Have to get a new head unit with 2 camera capability . Need a cam in the front .
@Speartip So jealous of your adventures! What awesome views!
Thank You . It really is amazing what one can find out here .
Washed the Jeep today .
Now preparing myself mentally & physically for the new Steer Smarts track bar install .
It’s on route . Hasn’t gone threw customs yet . Hopefully comes in this week .
This is in reference to thread I did about a month or two ago
Core track bar hitting diff corner when flexed out .
Will do a new thread comparing both side by side .

Took a fairly short overnight jaunt. Picked up a little pin striping. Beautiful weather at 8,000 feet.
Western Nevada, Pine Grove Hills, near the Wovoka WIlderness. The day before smoke from the Mosquito fire made things miserable, but over night things cleared out.
Did some googling . That area is stunning ! The old mine looks like a cool place to visit . Amazing trails and views in that area . Added to my bucket list of places to go down south.
That list is long . From Colorado , Utah,California and Nevada . Everything in between. You guys & gals have a ton of options for wheeling

Removed my hardtop using and stored it on my friend's storage and install soft top I bought here https://www.moparonlineparts.com/sku/82213651.html
So far looking good. I have the same yellow-colored JK but with personalized decals.

I installed new RainX wiper blades. Rough day.
I also installed gizmos on my garage door openers to make them work with Alexa and Siri. Indirect Jeep install.

New bushings and adjusters on the track bar. Had close to 1/8” of play in the old bushings following the Dusy trip. Surprised it didn’t go full death wobble on me.
Next up I have to repair some wallowed out control arm holes, that’s for the weekend

I had a rear lower control arm bolt that was way over torqued. Couldn’t get it to budge with my 3ft breaker bar. Used this new tool and it got it loose in 1 to 2 seconds, wow!! The 1,400 ft lbs of nut busting torque is no joke 
They should use that way n their advertising
Haha
Finished the son’s bumper / winch install today. We are missing one nut to bolt the winch down, so will need to order one.

The factory bumpers on our '15 have faded terribly and TBH, both of them had been banged up/dented/etc anyway.
I finally decided on the following replacements.
I seriously doubt we will ever need more than what these versions offer, and they actually match each other pretty well, so it will keep a consistent look.
I'll probably wire the inboard pair of lights in place of the factory fogs, and add the large center light and outboard pair to an accessory switch.
Rear lights will be likely get wired to the reverse circuit.
Can't wait to get them installed.

The front bumper is from a private sale, but it looks like it might be this one:
Hooke Road Climber Bumper Full Width Front Bumper w/D-Rings & LED Lights Compatible with Jeep Wrangler JK & Unlimited 2007-2018 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0747MZZZ2/?tag=jkforum-20
The rear is this one:

Scored some 16in new winter tires today on clearance ( DOT is 4420) but they smell fresh. Not on the rims yet. $50US each. My Goodyear All Weathers are pushing 7 years now, lots of tread. But I need fresh rubber for the coming winter ice here. Good Times.
I guess on the front bumper it bolts through the front so the bolts are exposed? My son’s homemade bumper is like that I think it looks pretty good with the gold colorish grade 8 bolts.
