The build of my flag ship Black Pearl

I have the atlas bumper also. It holds up good with the rocks. My only complaint with it though is... two months after I installed it I made a run to Death Valley and going out to the race track three of the four bolts that hold the latch on failed. I replaced them with good bolts and nylock nuts. Been great ever since. I also installed a zerk fitting for the swing out.

The only issue I have is that my gas cans don't sit right in the holders - they're actual NATO cans, so I guess they're a little taller than the HF ones I had originally - and when they swell, it makes it hard to open the latch. 🙁

[emoji23]I beat my gas cans in with a hammer, to clearance them. They were hitting the hitting the brackets on the tailgate for my overhead basket, causing the same issue.

🤣🤣 the big fucking hammer works every time! It hasn't bugged me enough to deal with it, but I'm getting close.

Finely figured out what to do with the bandannas, I've gotten on different wheeling trips. I put grommets in the corners and hung them from a S carabiner. IMG_2900.jpg got a this one last weekend out by the little sluice. IMG_2901.jpg this one is from last years stakes and stories, in the granite bowl. IMG_2902.jpg and I got this one down in Death Valley. IMG_2903.jpg

Bandanas and the way you have them on your Jeep are way cool [emoji41]

For your noise it sounds like one of the pulleys like you said. I had that happen couple years ago. It was a tensioner pulley in my case, you can actually take that pulley of the tensioner, don’t buy the entire tensioner if that’s the case. I also believe it’s same size as the other idler pulleys. Aske me how I know [emoji849]

Good to know, I bet that saves a few bucks just getting the pulley it's self. I'm going to be looking into it more next weekend, as it's getting louder and more annoying.

I haven't been around a drone up close and personal till yesterday. A buddy brought one to my place yesterday, for a little party we were having.

Man, I need to get one of them for the trail!!
I took this picture of my property from 300+ feet up yesterday. IMG_2908.JPG

I will be doing that tomorrow, along with a few other checks. I just noticed it today when I was laying under the jeep, looking at bolts and welds.

Good plan... When I replaced my ball joints I realized how bad the TREs were on both my tie rod and drag link. Drivability is sort of like boiling a frog slowly. Sometimes you don't realize how bad things are until they've been fixed.
