Went into the woods Sunday. Did some trail riding in N. Georgia. Didn't run into any technical stuff this time, but spent 2.5 days out of cell range.

I know the (off grid)feeling.

Now that I have my firewood in I got back to working on the rear axle. Stuck in some chromoly shafts and installed the BMB rear disc conversion. Next up, Atlas 5:1.

@Tejasol where is this at?
I think you have those on the wrong side don't you ??? Mine have the calipers trailing not in front . You would have to have the cables loop around for the parking brakes. This is my passenger side backing plate.

The parking brake cable comes in from the front as shown in this picture.

Also as to calipers the bled fitting goes to the top , so this will tell you which side and as for the pads the wear indicator should be were it would be pushed into the pads not dragged away . This way they make the most noise and they really should be on the inside pads as they wear first.
For some odd reason Centric chose to put the indicator on the outside pad and only on the driver side , I am running the same Centric Fleet Para-aramid composite pads . These are the best for sure , police and emergency vehicles use.

@Hog suggested that I paint the headlight bezels stone white and I really like it-
This stubby bumper will get its next coat of paint tomorrow.

White too?

I pray for winter and snow to get here so I can take mine out in it.put her into hibernation mode for the winter; dry/salt free roads permitting I'll run her for a half hour +/- drive through the country roads every weekend from now until spring, otherwise this is how she'll sit.

p.s. I originally bought my first Jeep to make sure I didn't get stuck in deep snow. My "self-employed" job requires me to drive 100 miles at 2am on back roads (unplowed), 365 days a year. My old Subaru AWD got stuck after only a foot of snow.
I'm in full blown preservation mode, the future owner of my TJ will be very pleased , & my subie is unstoppable in snow. Though, for all of Pennsylvania's faults of which there are a great many, PENNDOT is crackerjack on top of their shit when it comes to snow removal. Given a few hours every street I drive on is clear. Of snow anyway, left behind is a quarter inch of salt... but for my purposes I've never come even close to getting stuck in the Subie, probably the deepest I've driven through virgin snow in it was around 10 inches give or take, effortless.

The other part of the truth is I'm not that in love with driving it top up/full doors & windows in, just doesn't do anything for me anymore. I've become way too spoiled driving this thing for fun only, I really only associate it with good weather drives through the country, getting to/from bike trails, bars, and anywhere else where relaxation occurs.... this is more like it:
