Given the small amount of effort needed to post things on the Internet, if I was in your shoes I would. When I bought my LJ, the only thing that would have stopped me from driving up to BC was the assumption that all Canadian Jeeps must be rusty. If someone posted lots of pictures of the frame...

I burned mine up while driving back from Moab because I had a leak and accidentally left it on and must have run out of oil or something. Around the same time I did a 1 ton upgrade and my coilover towers were going to get in the way of the CU Offroad bracket. So I pulled my York and replaced it...

It was years ago, but it was $550 shipped. Also, I don't have the exact same one they have on the web page. I need space more than I need it to stay below the body line. So rather than a 16.5" tall, I had them make a custom version that is 23" tall. (Crappy picture but all I can find. It's the...

@Garza Thanks for the hook up. The soft shackle is nice, and I really like the thimble I bought with the gift card. I'd take a picture using it... but I don't get stuck. :LOL: :LOL:

It was taken at Santiam OHV also called Hoodoo in Oregon.

Thanks to everyone who voted for it. It was a lot of fun to get up to that spot to take the picture. It was also on my birthday last month, so I just consider this part of my birthday present. Lol

I'm not fully following what this is, but I'm interested. So it makes the head of the bolt tacky? Not sure how that helps. Or is this primarily non hex-head bolts with recessed attach point like Allen, Torx, Philips, etc to help prevent the bit from slipping out while you crank?

A little flexing in Hoodoo play area.

I installed a universal crossmember tranny mount under my AX-15 so I can drop my skid plate without supporting the drivetrain. It is hard mounted to the transmission & t-case and then has poly bushings at the frame. I feel like I read long ago that it's not a good idea to mix rubber and poly...

Oh, sorry, I totally misread your post and thought you were the seller announcing that it's still available not a buyer asking if it was. :-) I'm 90% sure this is only a semi-custom cage as I have the exact same cage. :-) But I bought it second hand from a guy who got it when he bought his...

Do you know who built that cage?

New shoes!! First beadlocks. But dear Lord, did I underestimate how much the torquing those bolts would suck.

I would start by going to pirate4x4 and reading through the 1 ton TJ build threads. The site in general has lost a lot of it's traffic and a lot of threads are less valuable because of broken pic links, but there's no better archive of significant. non-bolt on Jeep mods. This is where you get...

WTF. That's all I got.

lol. For sure! It's funny when non-Jeep owning friends ask me if I'd ever buy a new Jeep, I'm like, F NO! I'm taking this one to my grave because I'm not putting that time into another one, and I can't afford to pay someone else. lol
