Not today, but Wednesday. Wife and I found ourselves both off on a random weekday, so we took a cruise in the mountains. Went up to St. Peter's Dome and just enjoyed a nice trail ride. Never took it out of 2wd, but had a blast anyway.
What did you do WITH your TJ today?

I like the white wagon wheels on that rig

Became a new member here, WITH my 97 TJ. I will post in the what I DID and am doing in the other big one. No more lurking as folks here seem cool and have a good vibe enthused to share and contribute knowledge. Thanks all.
Thanks! I'm a child of the 80's. All the cool "jacked up" trucks ran wagon wheels back then. I guess it just stuck with me.
Today I went out on a trail. Got out of the way for three Gladiators coming the opposite direction. Sat and watched all three have to make three point turns just to make it around the bend. Love my TJ's short wheelbase and turning circle. Andy

That's how it works, stopped at Costco last weekend for meatloaf and ski pants and got ducked
Me and my wife had a day off today. She wanted to go out into the mountains and see the changing leaves. I wanted to have a quiet lunch with her. We decided to do both!
We went up into Santa Fe National Forest and found a trail through the aspens.
Drove for a bit until we found a place to sit and relax.
Cooked up some beef tenderloin and asparagus on my flat-pack grill. (A Fold-a-Flame)
Had an awesome time and a delicious meal, just me, my wife, and the dogs. Couldn't ask for a better afternoon!

It was last week, but we went to Moab for fall break. We met up with my XJ buddy from work and a safari guide friend, Bill Hughes. The Backwards Bill trail is named after him, nice fella and a great guide.
It was last weekend for me as well but I ran Gold Mountain Jeep trail in Big Bear, CA with @Nickgsjeep and @jeepguyOC. Such a fun day with perfect weather.
Man that was fun. I’m already itching to get back out. Gotta get you guys down here to wheel corral canyon ohv park. Sidewinder and bronco peak are really fun
Gathered firewood yesterday from the abandoned log deck I found last weekend.
First time pulling the trailer with the jeep. I took it slow and it did well. Going downhill on gravel with the loaded trailer was like driving on snow: it felt fine until I wanted to stop, which it did rather slowly lol.
My bumper doesn't really have a place for safety chains, and the trailer chains are too short to use the d-rings. I ran a chain between the shackles and hooked the trailer chains to that. Seems good enough but not ideal. Anyone have a better option?

Something about those pictures just make all of the Jeeps look so natural in that setting in the middle of all those rocks. Love it.
Weld a couple loops to the bottom of the bumper? Or a couple triangle gussets from the hitch to the bumper?
Depending on accessibility inside (for nuts), another option I've used a couple of times is a pair of HD bolt eyes.
