Made my own phone mount using a strip of aluminum and a magnet mount.

I know right! It's definitely a work in progress.

How the Jeep currently sits, waiting for new fenders and a transmission.

Fall in Northern Michigan

Here's the factory rubicon wheels powdercoated black on my black wrangler sport.

I added some red to my interior.

Painted the center part of the hood today with some flat black rustoleum and added a red pinstripe to break up the two black finishes.

Took the Jeep out on a scenic weekend drive.

Disconnected the sway bar links this afternoon to see if I needed to add more bumpstop. The rocks in my front yard worked good to flex the suspension. It looks like I'll have to add a couple inches more of bumpstop to keep the wheel from taking out the fender flare at full flex.

Yesterday the Jeep hit 200,000 miles. The body is starting to look its age but it has been a reliable daily driver for the last 3 years.

Yeah it would definitely look better without all that chrome.

Found a practically brand new 2005 Rubicon. If only I had the money... Link: https://nmi.craigslist.org/cto/d/2005-jeep-rubicon-with-1102/6595981959.html

To cut the holes I found a center point, drilled a pilot hole, and used a 3.5 inch diameter hole saw bit made for cutting metal with an electric drill. A 3.25 inch diameter hole may have worked better but the teeth on the bit I had were too wore down to cut through the bumper. The hard part is...

It didn't take long to wire them up, but that's because all the wiring was there from when I had some KC daylighters on the bumper. The picture shows how I wired everything up with 12 gauge wire. I hooked the positive wire for the switch to the shifter light, so the lights will only work if the...

Added some JK fog lights to my front bumper. I already had wiring for fog lights set up, so I figured I would try to get them to work. To install them I removed the adjustable brackets, drilled two 3.5 inch holes, wired everything, and used JB weld to keep them in place. The lights are bright...

Yeah being my daily driver for the past 3 years the Jeep has been through all types of weather. This past winter we had around 80 inches of snow total. Living in Michigan my whole life I'm use to the cold and the snow is fun to play in, but it's nice when it finally warms up.

Spring weather finally arrived, so I was able to take the top and doors off.

Today I installed new seat covers to go with my red and black theme, cut down the front bumper, and lengthened the steering stops to keep the tires from rubbing.

A few pictures taken along the river while out exploring.

Replaced the valve cover gasket and changed the oil.
