The build of my flag ship Black Pearl

[Mike Pierson]

Gonna take it out for a drive tomorrow. Someone called with a truck stuck in the mud, figured that would be a good test drive. I love the way it looks and it all fits perfectly.

Looks great! Make sure the PSC hoses don’t rub against your radiator hoses!

Too soon?

I actually did checked that! They are close but nothing touches.

Jeep drove great, no leaks and it seemed to steer nice and easy.

Didn’t get pictures winching the truck out, but got a couple of my new friends. One of the tried chewing on the hood.

How often have you used the Hi-lift jack I see on the hood?

Not often. I’ve used it three times in the past six years, but those times I’m glad I had it.

Wife and I are planning on going back to Moab in April, the week before Easter jeep safari.

Before the rain started I tested out my new flagpole. Hopefully it’ll make finding camp a little easier at hammers

I wish your lungs the best.

With the recent rain and snow it should be fine. Last year though muddy at times, no dust!

Update: it dried out a lot faster then I thought it would down there only two dust storms though. Here’s how the dust was managed

Great time down at hammers this year!! Need to go through my photos still. I spent a little more than I was planning. The wife picked out a set of PRP enduro daily suspension seats for the jeep, got a new set of harnesses and stop by the advanced adapters booth, order a 4 speed atlas case also.

The dog wasn’t really thrilled about the dust goggles I got from him.

dust was that bad?

There were a couple times the wind picked up and it got pretty bad, fortunately neither lasted too long.

Life has been pretty busy lately. Bounced back and forth from Hawaii a couple times taking care of family stuff, but now it time to prep for fun! Buttoning up a friend’s jeep for Moab and trying to get my new seats in before Friday. Also got the call from advanced adapters they are building my transfer case this week!

One seat in, just need to put the new belts in on this side then do the other side.

I really do dig the way these new seats look in the jeep

What adapters did you use to install the PRP seats? Do they sit about the same as stock or are they a little lower?
I'm a little tall, so I'm curious about the head in the roll bar / looking at the sun visor syndrome.

PRP sells JK adapters for their seats and they sit right about same hight as stock, but I’ve only set in it for about two minutes so far.

Thanks, it's a really nice-looking Jeep.
