Few little things on the jeep. I got tired of the modern headlights on the jeep so I finally pulled the trigger on some glass hella lenses with upgraded bulbs. I also got tired of the fluttering and big hood gap so used some Amazon special cooler latches to make hood latches that work better with the highline hood.
OP
Also will be slowly working on this high pinion 30 I picked up locally for a pretty good deal. I’ll clean it up throw on new ball joints and an arb way down the line. I’d been looking for one of these for awhile now so I jumped on the good deal. The guy also threw in a Barnett/Currie or copy Dana 30 cover that supposedly was on a jeep speed car.
OP
Haven’t done much to the jeep lately besides wheel it. Today I finally got around to installing my mini skids. Also threw in a few pics from my latest outings.
OP
That’s on bald mountain in shaver lake. It’s a pretty easy but fun trail, last time I went was rough haha. A kid broke his jk rubi 44 front housing and another guy wheeling with us sheared the tabs of his tie rod for his full hydro steering.
OP
Awesome dude! When did you go up last? I haven't been up to the top since December. I have been doing the forest roads around it for the last few months. I was wondering what the trail is like now.
That's crazy. First though was I hope someone had a ready welder. Looks like a bit much for jb weld.

That was the end of Feb your rig would do just fine. Winches we’re being used but we also had more stockish rigs
Cool, thanks.
I was thinking of heading up there this weekend.
Forest service website says the trail is closed now for a month though.
I guess the snowmelt started early and they're worried about erosion.
Might head up anyway. Lots of new areas opening up.

I want to hit Red lake, coyote, Swamp lake, and the dusy this summer. We’ll see though depending on work and firesCool, thanks.

There’s quite a few of us wanting to do the Dusty-Ershim this year.
OP
Are those solid lower Control arms with urethane bushings? Can't be helping.
I think that could have been splinted by clamping it together with a Hi-Lift and binding it with 3” cargo straps…just saying
OP
Stock CA's 2 with a mopar 2 inch inch lift IIRC. I don't know him well and am unfamiliar with his Jeep.
OP
Those lower arms do not look like stock arms, but meh. Uppers aren't either.
