I think you would be better severed by carrying a 30’ strap. It would take up less space, weighs less, will not hurt as much when it hits you during a crash and costs less.
Thank you I appreciate it. They came on the Jeep when I got it last year and have held up well. I like the textured look, but it makes it next to impossible to touch up when you beat them on the rocks. I’d like to get some gen right aluminum Boulder high lines for the front eventually as I rub on the back corner during articulation currently. That will probably have to wait until I can afford the rear armor and sliders to match because I’m not a big fan of a bunch of hodge podge mix matched parts, at least on the outside.
Picked up a set of those $80 Amazon lights. Install was simple and straight forward. Not sure what lights the PO had installed but they were terrible. They looked kinda goofy too.
Finally got around to driving post SYE. Started leaking. A bit of flour and it looks like the leak is from the speed sensor. What a relief
The vehicle seems lighter with the better drive shaft angle. And no more freeway vibrations.

Do you have the hall effect sensor? Which SYE?
A little baby power helps find the leak. All I had was flour. It did well enough.
Replace the o ring. Make sure to lube before installation.
Will do! Going to ace for Christmas lights and o rings tomorrow. Hopefully that's all it is
Yesterday I primed and painted the UCF aluminum/ hybrid rear bumper I recently ordered. Today I installed it.
Great quality product and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

That’s cool,I would have painted the steel and just cleared the aluminum!
Cleaned with thinner, then mineral spirits, sanded lightly, then 3 coats of Rustoleum rattle can self etching primer.
Have to give credit to @Irun. I'd never painted aluminum before, and while researching bumpers, I noticed he'd installed the same one, so got some tips from him.

Thanks! Thought about it but don't have any other aluminum bits, so felt like it would have looked out of place. Also toyed with the idea of red for the D rings but decided to keep it low key.
Glad you shared "before" pics. Tomorrow they may not be so pretty.
Yep no gaudy ness with the red rings,I don’t even like the look of having d rings on all of the time.
Normally I might be on board with this but the big stamped letters gotta go. I probably would have covered them up too.
I think they remove easily with acetone and a scotchbrite pad.
