Hah, yeah. Mine's lasted longer than most in my area. Just one of the blessings of the rust belt. For the BMB dust, I've put close to 10k miles on them since install about 3.5 years ago and the Jeep has bounced in and out of daily driver status. I'd say the dust is marginally better, but I'm...

Been a minute. I guess life, uh, happens... Not much going on over the last few years with the Jeep. A few rides with the extended family and one water pump later and we've arrived at the end of 2025. Haven't installed any of the fun things (still!) due to poor excuses and frame getting...

You can do it without removing the shroud. Takes a bit of wrangling around the AC lines, but it can be done.

I was referring to the flare extensions along the body. I don't believe those were a factory Rubi item.

Also a Rubicon with the front lower flare trim?

My tj splashing: Where we parted ways at the end of the day. Ended up about 70 miles of backroads and cruising and wrapped at 3:30. All in all a good trip and looking forward to making it a yearly thing now. Even made shirts featuring my two jeeps and parents' (which I've been pining for...

Hey all. I organized a fall cruise with our family of Jeepers through the local Missouri River Valley backroads. The hope was to time it with the color changing leaves, but the weather hasn't been cooperating lately and has been too hot without rain. So, it just turned into a cruise instead. As...

I'm assuming this won't apply to a TRE line and thimble that's never been installed... ;)

Appreciate it Mike! I've followed along on both of your build threads and have been much inspired. Very nice build and one I'd love to one day replicate (at least your first build anyway, HAH).

Hah! Appreciate it. I've submitted a few times, but if you're not on a boulder or out in the mountains, you're pretty far down the list. My barely modified Jeep in my woods just can't compete (rightfully so. there are some pretty epic scenes that come out in ROTM).

Finally got a radiator to last more than 6 months! LOL. Not much happening on the '04 as I've focused my funds on other projects around the house/garage. The BM brakes are great, but they have got to be the dustiest set I've ever had across all of my years. Minor gripe. Anyway, been mostly...

Hope you get that for it. I sold one last year for about 160 and had lowballers on that!

Yeah. I found a set locally from an '03 that had the dark inner panels for mine. Khaki outer, so I had to get them painted as well. All in, I'm at about $1500 to buy them, get them painted, replacement weatherstrip clips and rekeyed. Love em tho.

Those are nice! GLWS!

When out surveying, we typically use bright pink. Flagging and paint stands out on construction sites and in the woods equally.
