Happy New Year !! 🥳
Had big plans to get up before dawn and watch the sunrise on 2025 but tropical winds were pretty strong this morning so had to come out about 9 am…View attachment 582728View attachment 582729
My new stove and Table worked well… although the Coleman seems to be difficult to get a low heat… more reason to practice more 😋

Happy new year to you my friend !
 
Gotta look pretty for my internet friends, and I ordered the same nano coating @tr21triton used over the summer. After our summer trip I spent the weekend+ cleaning the mud off and I think he just took a hose to his.

Mud .. @tr21triton mud?? I thought he was allergic to mud :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
The UCF no body lift aluminum one. I may be changing it now that I have a body lift.
I heard they even though it’s a not BL lift a lift is still needed or “other” modifications are required. Did you have any issues installing it? I was thinking about the BL skid from them for my LJ. I am not sure I wanted a BL. Do you have their tranny mount too?

Also did you install MML?

My take on that is to have good illumination if you have a flat and need to either change or plug the tire. *shrug*
I get your point.. but to dedicate a set of rock lights to that is like having a formal dining room that you use MAYBE twice a year.

I did the under hood light on a retractable wire.. And, I always carry an high power LED that has a stand and magnetic backing.. so if I need to change or plug a tire or any other kind of maintenance, I'm more than good.

I had no issues with their no body lift skid and do not have their transmission mount.

Yes, when I did the body lift, I installed Genright's 1" lifted motor mounts.

Thank you. So you were able to use the OEM transmission mount? Do you have an auto or manual? I have the 6sp.

And you didn’t need the MML until you did the BL? I was thinking the MML was needed to keep the engine and transmission at the correct angle.

I know I’d need a rear driveshaft.

If so this is good news for me. I may want to rethink doing the UCF no BL skid. I assume that picked up about 2” at the skid plate?

This is the one that I have.

I didn't have the body lift for a couple months with this one and no issues. I am running the stock transmission mount. I have a manual NV3550.

Yes, it picked up about 2" over the stock skid.

You are an odd-ball American, Kiwi.... But we embrace you all the same....
