I'm stealing this idea and going to use it as my first welding mod once I'm done traveling after this year. :yup:

^ the only difficult part to building it is getting the lengths right, so it opens to the 7", but yet can close all the way without the all thread hitting the hitch pin.
Atch just sent me this pic of Cody showing off the indestructible d35
I hate missing a good wheeling day, but working on the tj today.

I got a chance to do some sanding and cutting on the aluminum rockerskins. I can say now that I am pretty happy with the way they are turning out.
And got the trail vise painted along with my rotopax mounts.

Awesome. I finished up the DIY sPOD over the weekend too. Need to get some pics posted in the other thread. Thanks for all of your help and ideas! I never would have had the confidence to tackle something like that without it and I learned a lot along the way.
Rock lights should hopefully arrive this week or early next. They take a while from China.

Thanks Greg! Glad I was able to help!
Yes, Jeff, the cutouts are part of my sliders, but they won't be done for a few weeks, hopefully before we go to CO in July

I finally had some time to put on the evo/protek oil pan skid today.
Here's a before pic, I think the previous owner was a bad ass down at smorr

Are you close to SMORR?! I haven't been yet, but it's about 3.5-4 hours from here. I've heard it's great.

^ it is about 6 hrs away (driving a jk) or 8 hrs (driving a tj)
I have not been yet, a buddy went 3 weeks ago and some guys in the local club (atch and gecko) went 5 weeks ago. I wish it was closer, but I know it is worth the drive.

Sounds like a weekend of camping and wheeling is in order!

Removed all the carpet.
And put door trim on to protect the kids from the sharp edge since they tend to slide in and out of the backseat

I've been debating pulling my carpet, but worry about noise. How much did it change the jk?

Lol, I don't think I can accurately measure how much noise difference, I've had the doors off for the last 2 weeks
We are wheeling tomorrow and expecting a thunderstorm in the afternoon, so with only the trek top, we will get wet. So I wanted to get the carpet out now, but it won't return. I hate carpet. Never had it in my tj. Much easier to clean the inside of the jeep without it. I will probably pull the seats and bedline the whole inside at some point this summer.

We had an hours drive this morning with downpour rain- doorless with only a bikini top so glad I pulled the carpet.
The rain made the park pretty greasy and sloppy, made for some interesting wheeling or sliding.

Looks like fun! I love vehicle recovery- and it looks like you guys got your fair share!
Good call on the carpet!
