What was done to your rig this week?

Rig's lookin SICK! Nice work brother :thumb:



that sucks but, and this may be just me, but I like the damage if its this level and not worse. It looks tough, but I agree that I wouldn't wish for it to happen to me either. Are you planning on fixing/replacing the door or leave it?

I agree completely. As long as it happens on the trails I have no problem with it. I may be singing a different song if it were a shopping cart or something though.

I definitely won't be replacing the door. I'll look into pulling the dent eventually, but I'm in no rush. I kinda like it.
 
Ordered some new rear bumper LEDs from rigid, some truck lite LED headlights and poison spyder dif covers. Next week is going to be fun once it gets here!!

I used the wire tubing from the light wires to enclose the brake and LP light wiring:

Bought 10' of the wire tubing to run across the jeep. You can see some of it poking out.

This is my mentality. I like scratches and small dents from the trails...it proves that my Jeeps get used. My Patriot had more tattoos than I could count (not joking) and the only one I cared about was from a car door that happened on base. I was pissed. With my JK...its harder to see scratches so I just have to worry about dents and the black plastics lol

Keep on Jeepin bro...that dent is just a shiner. It's a badge or a free tattoo. That's how I look at it haha
 
Bearing down...

This weekend I finished up the front end. A toasted wheel bearing prompted new spindle bearings, new wheel bearings, a new hub, a new spindle, and new locking hubs.

Then I got ambitious and decided to put the rear seat in for the first time. The body isn't in the best shape, so I didn't know what I would find when I took the rubber mat off the back floor. (Screwed down.) Thankfully I found the floor fully intact. One trip to the hardware store and 20 min of work, I had the seat in. I am thankful (shocked) it went so smoothly. :)


Most important part of this picture: not on jack stands. :)




Bearings:




Toasted spindle with bearing race permanently attached...




I am very excited to take it to work tomorrow. :)

As a BIG Packer fan (and owner) the majority will be Packers green, the spider will be Packers gold/yellow. That's the part that I think will take the longest. Also need to order some switches and the a-pillar pod. Def gonna take a lot of pics.

Good call on the bumper! That thing will be sweet!! I'm going to be saving up for the LōD sig shorty from bumper with stinger one of these months.
