So the shakedown continued until being a solo vehicle off road became a poor choice and we headed back home.
Once back at the house I realized that I had some minor trail damage here and there which provided me the perfect reason to start changing a few things...
Atlas bumper and tire carrier
Smittybilt XRC corner armor all the way around
M.O.D. bumper and bull bar, a few LED lights and a winch
Got rid of the factory AM/FM antenna, because I needed the spot and it was convenient. Placed my Larsen NMO 2/70 Ham antenna here using a few fabricated bits and pieces
Sadly we moved (temporarily) into an apartment while we sort things out with the house in Bailey. So all I get is a 1 car garage, only good for storage. Between that and 3 surgeries scheduled in January my wife suggested I let a shop install the suspension. Looks like Trail Jeeps will be getting some business after new years
