What was done to your rig this week?

Got my rear bumper and tire carrier in and put on today. It's a cheap one, but I love to build and fabricate so I figured if it needed some work, I'm fine with that. Ill fix the things I want to make it how I want. $545 eBay special with free shipping. Couldn't beat it. I will put an actual trailer spindle, bearing kit on with a positive locking latch. Seems like all will work as is, but... I can't leave anything alone.

For what it is it's perfect.

Now to order a spare 37 and wheel

But have you ever gotten a bumper In and the receiver hitch pin holes wasn't through both sides??? I laughed. I know I got exactly what I paid for...

2010 RUBICON. With some stuff
 
Still have bilsteins to install and a rock hard cage. I think for a twist I'm going to clear the cage after clean up and leave it the bare metal look rather than painting it up black. Might be cool

Then I have a set of USA alloys to install along with synergy C gussets and sleeves.

I have a very full weekend of crap to do!
But fun stuff

Looks great! Sorry if I sound retarded, but what's the co2 for?

Usually most people lower the pressure in their tires before a starting a trail, to gain better traction in mud, sand and rock crawling.
The co2 tank is for filling the tires back up to the normal psi after the trail.

I made an exhaust yesterday for my 12' jkur

I left the stock piping alone so I if I ever need to put on the stock muffler, I can

Here it is installed

Where its mounted, it should have pretty good clearence compared to the stock trash can muffler

Heres the space between the heat shield and muffler

I didn't get a universal exhaust hanger, so I cut and bent a piece of scrap I had. Then I welded it to the muffler drilled and hole to bolt it up using one of the holes that the factory bumper goes to.

I still need to put a turn down pipe for the tip and probably shoot it with some high temp black paint. It sounds ok cruising around but when I put the pedal to the metal the 3.6 unleashes the beast in it and it screams like a banshee lol.
The best part is this little project only costed me $50

Nothing special just state and emissions inspection and was pricing out a rubicon for myself while I was at it :) sadly tho it's still to expensive for me :(

Hopefully I'm installing mine Saturday when it comes in. Going to go this route, just because of all the talk about it being to hot to touch after a day on the trails. The tank is underneath in the back where factory exhaust was.View attachment 29223View attachment 29224

What size tank is that? I'm looking to do the same thing by mounting it there and I'm just trying to get an idea of how big I wanna go. Also what did you use to mount it there?

It's a 2lb tank came with my Viair heavy duty kit. It has 4 tabs built in, just put it in place and marked the holes. Then used some stainless Hex cap Allen bolts to secure it to tub!

Thanks for the quick response! I figured it was either 2 or 2.5 gallon and same goes for the mount. I just always saw that tub metal to be pretty thin so I was wondering if you did something different, but it's working for you then that's fine with me. :thumb:
 
Snorkels getting some attention today.

Tire rotation, rebuild two flex joints on the control arms, wire rear rock lights, figure out rear storage cover.
