I like that mounting solution for your Hi-Lift. Can you tell me how you did that?

It's an old Rugged Ridge mount i had on my first Jeep.part# 11586.02

You can also fabricate the Hi-lift mounting brackets out of exhaust pipe hangers, wing nuts, and scrap metal. Mine wound up costing maybe $15 and has served me well for years. I also mount my shovel to the jack; easy to get to location.

Finally installed the Barnes tie rod I picked up on black Friday.

Recently did my oil cooler housing, coil packs, spark plugs, new odyssey battery, new washer fluid nozzle, front and rear brakes, oil change, differential fluid change and new diff covers. She’s back in business.

Installed JKS 3.5" springs to replace Eibach 3.5 springs. I gained 1" ride height in the process and the ride is more controlled while simultaneously being more comfortable over rough road. 🤷‍♂️

Explored a new to me area of Bull Shoals Lake, Sunday:

This area will probably be underwater in the next month or so.

Old brake pad, meet your replacement, new brake pad. EBC Brake pads.

Bull shoals lake is beautiful! Too many moons ago to count I caught some huge striped bass on that lake. Great times

Went into the mesa with my woman and got dirty looking for an excuse to use the 4-Hi. It was sad because it's wildfire season and we could see a lot of smoke and haze in the distance coming from the mountains.

Not today but a couple days ago I had my tires rotated and they put the driver rear tire back on with two hub centric rings, 27 miles later the wheel came off, now sits in the shop being repaired

Did you only do pads and not rotors? If so, what are your impressions? Thanks.

I only did the pads. Do you need to do rotors every time you change the pads? Didnt used to. I'm not an expert or anything and i didnt put any calipers or anything on them but they looked and felt fine.
Will the new pads wear down quicker without giving them a new surface to conform to? Maybe but i doubt i will notice. the jeep still stops just the same.
Besides that, I am wanting to upgrade to the JT brakes in the near future and will spend the money on those rotors.

As far as impressions, I'm not really good at those but i think i can do an ok Rodney Dangerfield. 🤣

Cut my rear hitch crossmember off. Middle of installing VKS rear bumper.

Did a tune up in my driveway today, swapped the coils, wires, and plugs with all NGK. Forgot how much of a pain in the ass it is doing plugs on the 3.8 and routing wires.

Also put in my 2017 LED take offs. Can't wait to drive it tonight to see how it performs.

Tuesday a friend, who has an odd work schedule, messaged me about hitting some trails. He wanted to do some easy trails / back roads.

I talked him into doing FR-157 again. I still haven't completed this dead end trail. It has rained here all week (still raining today) and I wondered if the creek crossing was doable. It was - just barely. My friend has a lift and 35 inch tires on his JKU. The water was up to the base of his headlights.

He made this video - Unless you like Rage Against the Machine, I recommend you turn down your volume for the 1st 5 minutes.

We made it to the same point I did last time and turned back. Friends of ours in our group made it to the end of the trail in a Subaru with a snorkel. They went on a day where it hadn't been raining all week. At the end of the trail they found a Cemetery where the father had served in the Civil War. One of those guys found a pretty cool / big arrow head.

Changed out the leaky POS oil cooler / filter housing with a Dorman. Hopefully this will hold for a bit. Not looking to do this again.

Since my temporary tag expires today, I drove my '14 JKU to the BMV in New Haven, Indiana & doled out $171.36 American for a U.S. Army Veteran license plate. They gave me another temporary tag & told me my Veteran tag will arrive in the mail.

Finally dealt with massive dust ingress. Saw a thread here about the exhauster, never realized. Turns out mine was a bit compromised. Of course I didn't take a pic of the new one until it was installed amd the carrier was back in place. I will also say, a few flaps did not seat nearly as well as others on it. Wrinkly, corners lifted a bit. Still far better than the one I replaced. Back roads are dried out now, will soon be testing this out.
