Not sure if there’re tariff free lol
Ok, so I had to wait an extra day. LOL
I went out yesterday with the intention of driving it to the store, and with the sun shining on it, I quickly saw that I need to do some evictions first. LOL That and give it an all around bath because the windows were really bad.
Gave it a bath yesterday afternoon and today I took it for a short drive to the gas station.
This is just ridiculous.
When it is going down the road, the pressure gauge is just above the 40.By the time I got home (maybe about a 10 mile trip to and from gas station), it idles just below the first line. See pic.
So far it isn't going down to the 0, but time will tell. I will know more after I drive it to work and back sometime next week.

More work on mounting the OEM lights.
The new bumper is double-walled where I want them, so it makes it nearly impossible to access the nut.
Might just run the drill all the way through and then enlarge the lower hole just enough to get a socket up from underneath...
And then there's the wiring. I need slightly longer than the original harness, but I want to keep the factory connectors.
I'll pull the wires out of the main harness and then replace the split loom to reroute the full-factory wiring.
Then I can see if extending the pigtails on the lights is necessary. This approach will require the least amount of re-wiring since it will use everything as before.
Then I can run wiring from the new 'bumper blinders' to a switch that can literally replace the rear wiper switch in the factory bezel.

Recently helped Blaine dial in the Pro Rock 44 housing install and body armor install. I learned a bunch and likely missed way more than I learned. Watching him cut and weld in the lower shock mounts exactly where they needed to be on the replacement housing was a master class that deserved a better witness.
The rig steers and brakes really well again. This is especially good since the LJ’s perfect steering and brakes were really rubbing salt in the wounds.
Also had a chance to do a quick tour of Sri’s rig. Photos don’t do it justice, and that’s a gross understatement.

After much internal debate over which way to go, I opted for the Wolfbox over a double din as my backup camera...for now.
I didn't realize it had a different angle on the rear camera when not in reverse. I like it.

I am trying to decide whether to leave my BU Camera where I like yourself have it, in the spare spoke, or to take it to the bumper. Having it up high doesn't seem optimal for using the lines while backing up.
That's where the different angle comes into play for me. If I use the whole mirror as the camera, it doesn't have the right zoom or something, IMO.
Both pics are from the same spot, about 3 ft. from the truck, and the smaller view just seems right to me.
They are on the shelf in AZ next to the reverse lights.
Just installed rockjock steering. Moving onto control arms. 4in springs and new 5100 shocks are on the way gotta get rid of this 6in lol then off to an alignment shop

I feel mine is too high up to use as a backup cam, as the lines (while I can move them) kind of seem really off at that extreme angle. I may try both mount points before getting it all perma mounted.
Gave it a bath. Also rekeyed the tj half doors I bought a couple years ago.
Picked up a winch off marketplace today. $250 all in couldn’t pass it up. Put it on the bumper as a test and the jeep went down at least an inch. Rugged Ridge trekker 10k with synthetic rope. The factor55 ultrahook was a great addition with it. Really happy with the find can’t wait to bolt it up.
Aired out my roof top tent. Washed the mattress cover and aired out the mattress pad. Also swept out the tent.
Smells a lot better.

Works GREAT from that location, IMO.
Different camera, and it’s going through the Android HU, but same camera location:
I even added a few stickers to the riser so the wife could tell if she was leaving enough room for me to back the bike in.
