Likewise. Gotta have @Wildman to get off his lazy butt and finish the “face lift”.
Kidding of course, Rick, hope your shoulder is better.
Meh, you can do a lot on the rocks with 2.5"+1.25", 33's, stock gears, and your TCase shovel! I did it, and I think a guy named @lBasket did a whole lot of stuff in Moab on a pretty much stock rig!
You can do 90% of the trails here in the PNW on 33" tires and 35" tires just make them a little easier. Of course if you add the length of a LJ to the mix you'll be making 3-5 point turns where with a TJ it's a 2 point turn.

I'm freaking OLD (turned 63 yesterday) so I don't heal as fast as I used to.
Happy birthday brother! I hope your shoulder heals. Be a shame if it constantly hurts.
I’m planning to remove the rock sliders (again), cut the top of the backing plaste flat across the top, fill the JCR logo in with weld, and paint it aluminum color to tie in with the GR fenders. I think it will improve the look, but I’m open to opposition.

Sounds like a lot of work just to change the color of that part of the jeep that gets most of the abuse on the trail. Your bumpers are black, so it ties in to that part of the jeep just fine. If you paint them aluminum, it might be tougher to touch up than black.
Just the backing plate. The slider itself will stay black. It is kinda a bunch of work for no functional advantage.
I don’t see being able to really match the aluminum with paint. But I do wonder what it would look like with a red color matched backing plate
If you need a project, you can surely find something more beneficial that all that.

If you are painting the backing plate .. paint it red.
