Nice work, Kid. It’s great to see someone young get into this - pretty rare these days. Learning to do things like this, and not being afraid to try new things, is a great life skill.
But me, I’d have run it through the hood….

there was much less rust inside the gas tank skid than I expected, I'll be raising it an inch tomorrow
with the gas tank removed I have a great shot at the rear uppers, I'm thinking I'll keep it off till the grease comes in and put in the CAs before reinstalling the gas tank.
is there anything else I should do before I put the gas tank back?

finally finished up my custom gas tank raise, I raised it about an inch
I also got my Savvy rear UCAs in, I greased them before I installed them,
there was a old output flange my dad had from his truck that worked perfectly as replacement to the Johnny joint tool

Figured it might keep the dust out of your paint.oh crap I forgot, don't tell my dad
dis ain't gonna be my first offense
I had trouble drilling holes in the crossmember for the inner bolts on the bumper, I ended using 3 of the supplied bolts and 1 bolt about half the size of the rest because I couldn't get it lined up straight
Overall I'm very happy with the bumper, it has very solid welds (I think) and clean lines, not to mention it was under $350 including shipping across the US

Found myself back at Uwharrie today, I hit some harder trails this time, it was awesome
on some of the obstacles I saw JLs on 35s scraping skid plates and having to readjust and try again, then I tried and got up first try with no scraping

Sounds like fun! There is a sweet satisfaction in out-wheeling 4-doors, especially those with more tire.
Off to Brown Mountain
Edit: why does my back tire look so small?

That's odd. Camera FOV, maybe? Makes the middle of the picture seem smaller and the edges larger.Edit: why does my back tire look so small?
