It’s always been on the list, it’s just been busy. I was just laughing the other day looking back at this year so far. In just the last year on my rig I’ve done:
Front axle swap
Front 3 link
Hydro assist
Front shock relocation for 11.5” shocks
Rear axle swap
Rear midarm
Rear 12” shock outboard
New wheels
Then on my dads rig I’ve done:
Hydro assist
An auto transmission swap
And a tummy tuck
Body mounts fell down the list quickly

So you don't like the cheaper things as much
Body mounts are definitely on my to-do list. I think both centers are pointing rearwards and one of my isolators are completely torn.
OP
Apparently not
I figured these stock mounts would keep bending out of my way while I finish the big stuff

By most standards, that is an admirable amount of work!
OP
Bundle it with the
You know, I almost always do stuff on my rig first, make a bunch of mistakes that I learn from, and then do a better job on my dads rig. Maybe I’ll put my dads rig first this time on those

There are very few times I wish I had fender flares. Today is one of those times. Full doors and a top would also be welcomed right now

Last night parked the Jeep in the garage and drove my old truck to work today.
OP
Turns out windshield wipers don’t work very well when the inside of the windshield is wet
OP
I will be checking the weather more frequently. That drive fucking sucked
I tried no flares on the rear for a short time. A few weeks was at it took to tell me they are on there for a very good reason!

They definitely serve a purpose, they just don’t fit very well on our trails, so I would never consider them. At least not with me behind the wheel!
