Pack light my brother. Some cool set ups also for the backside of wranglers. No homo on that one.
What was done to your rig this week?

Yep, we just pack a tent when wheeling and I have a camp trailer for regular camping that my wife insists on.

Did a full brake job. Got about 50k miles out of them (Dynatrac Pro Grips). The fronts had about 10% left the rears had about 30% left. The front calipers were really sticking on the slides so that probably explains the excessive wear. I'm happy because no more squeaks, chirps, and rattles when braking. Also it was one of the jobs outside of an oil change where everything went smoothly...haha. I did discover I do have a rear axle seal leak though. So we'll tackle that when I get some more free time.

Got most of the Passenger side apart, a LOT faster than Driver, old knuckle is hanging on half shaft. Back was already killing me and didn't want to crawl under to mess with FAD.
For you old farts (like me) this tool will save you some pain of trying to ring the ball joints out (both on knuckle and on tie rod and drag link.

There's a ton of them out there. I got mine from work because of my bodacious discount.
But if you're going to get one, look for ones that have two pivot points instead of just one.

Looking awesome! Love the look and departure clearance of the EVO rear fascia on my Jeep too.Removed my massively heavy rear bumper and put an EVO JL facia and license plate bracket on. The rear raised up over an inch!

Thanks and I agree, makes the Jeep backside look great. I wish they made the JK fascia for the JL, I like it better TBH.

oil check
it's time... should have followed my gut instinct and replaced the damn oil cooler filter housing when I did plugs and coils.
And.... the tick is louder
but out of my comfort range to diy.
consolidating all the thoughts and swear words in my head down to one word... yay...

I'm doing the oil filter housing - should've done it when I did plugs and coils.
I'm not too confident about doing the rockers/camshafts with the rocker tick

Oh gotcha. Thought you said you weren’t doing the oil filter housing.
Very cool and glad to see you were able to make it work with the old CB BAR!
