This was my original plan for a snowman.

I tied him to the footman loop on the hood, but after a short drive I didn't like how much he moved. So he is now on the back. I will buy another small figure or maybe another snowman for the other brake light tomorrow.

I'm also thinking about taking the spare tire cover off and wrapping the spare with garland to make a wreath out of it. I kinda like some of the other Jeeps I have seen that have done it. It will depend on how much the garland is. LOL I do have a wreath so I may just tie that to the center of the spare. Will obviously share pics when I get the back done. LOL
That looks really sharp. What brand are the flares?Fitment was pretty good considering the sheet metal isn't the straightest...I have WARN sliders, and I had to slot the holes on the ends of each flare just a bit to get everything lined up, but just about everything else fit as expected.

The hardware is crap...comes with black oxide phillips head screws and fender washers with zinc plated flanged nuts.
I used the old front hardware, and on the rear I drilled out the tub and installed nutserts, then used stainless SHCS and stainless fender washers.
Pro-Tip..the harbor freight nut-sert tool does not like 1/4-20 steel nut-serts. It does the smaller sizes OK in steel, but for 1/4", you'll kill it....use only the tool only with aluminum nut-serts in 1/4".

Jasco paint stripper from Home Depot. Just let it sit for 30 mins and scrape with plastic putty knife and a copper wire brush.. it took about 3 applications cause it was powdercoated. You should be able to accomplish in one if it’s just painted.. good luckW

Nothing like a dirty little wench to help you out a sticky situation...sorry 'winch'Managed to get quite thoroughly stuck on the way out from elk hunting this evening.
Driving in this morning I didn't even realize we were on ice, the snow covered everything.
This evening, after 40°+ temperatures and light rain, when we came out, I dropped through the ice, to a soggy, soft bottom, and high centered on ice!View attachment 127868View attachment 127869
Glad to have a winch, tree straps and shackles!
