Got the Fluxor Bumper all painted up and tightened down now. i’ve got three different colors going on. going to need to change something. shall stay as is for now.
in the market for the winch next. there’s a couple options on marketplace i’m eyeballing.

Now that the bumper is painted, added some more bling to it.
New to me Zeon 10S
PO said only used once. been installed since 2022? at least the manufacturer label on the winch line is from 22.
lots of red sand wonder where that came from

Got to take a run into the hills. was nice to put some dirt under the wheels.
fine tuned the engine skid a bit better. Had to cut the savvy skid plate arms down to work with the plates i made.
Lost two of the skid plate bolts driving to and from work. going to try and steal two of those from a guy with a parts jeep in his yard at the moment
95* in Denver. was a nice 80ish at altitude.
lot harder to get photos when your mountain goat of a son is with mom at family’s house back east

I was just telling @hosejockey61 i need to order new shift tower bolts. i lost one installing the short throw shifter. so it leaks and marks my territory every where i park. very embarrassing.
$8 for five bolt on mcmaster-carr and twelve for shipping

How'd you lose it?
Hate it when that happens
Can't get it from somewhere local for less than McMasters?
Losing a bolt and walking around wit it in your foot for 2 days is embarrassing
I’ve spent minutes looking for that lost bolt that was still on or in the socket. never walked around with one though.
just switched to summer mode. i took the hanger off the ceiling since i’ve been sheet rocking the garage.
so i made a very quick hard top stand

mostly successful run to Wheeler Lake. Tried and failed a hard line. Then didn't even try the easier line just went straight to the winch 
On the drive back down spent a good hour smelling exhaust. I'm not a huge fan of Exhaust, Especially Diesel. Well my wife is an even bigger fan of not having to smell it.
So out with the old
And in with the new

put the jeep on stands. Lubed all the the control arms and steering points.
found that the Engine skid was contacting the oil pan. just a few scuffs. so made a new mounting hole and lowered it down an inch in the front.
Glad i didnt land on a rock and smash the plastic oil pan

Good catch. Are you thinking about a lunchbox locker to pick up some traction on the cheap for the revenge trip to wheeler?
looking at installing Yukon zip locker this winter. or something similar. have to figure out what to do with the front axle since it’s a dana 30
