My wife is stuck in MN due to the Russian volcano. ? Canceled flights in and out of AK.

Despite the natural disaster, these made it to the door today:

Hate she's sitting while her flight is canceled, great your order arrived though. You know you will have to wait for her to arrive home and help you install. It's the right thing to do. We all know she's just as invested as you. But there is the enjoyment of welcoming her home with the install already completed. I'm glad I'm not in your shoes having to decide best choice. Guess I'll have a shot of Jim lol. ? or ??

Wife is finally on her last flight home. Today's Jeep mission was to remove the front bumper setup and widen the frame horn bolt holes to get the bumper more level. It was a bit of a pain in the ass, but worth it in the end:

I also got the Artec FAD skid put on before heading to TrailToyz to place an order for some "necessities" ? They should be here in a couple weeks.

Also, if you're interested, I've been working on a store pick Blue Note Juke Joint uncut and enjoying the couch view:

The wife and I enjoyed Sunday together:

But now it's Monday and back to Jeep things. She enjoys cooking, so we went over to Sportsman's and picked up a Camp Chef to haul around (and some first aid ?) :

A little known fact is if you put one ARB air locker in the garage next to your Jeep, it clones itself into two! (Just don't look at your finances)

I mentioned this skid the other day, but is it real unless I share a picture ?

I haven't mentioned this one, tho. It's a 41.22 hitch skid. Ridiculous amount of money for what I hope "saves our ass" - are ya catching me? ?

It turned out to be a very nice evening. The parts we were expecting today didn't show, but no matter, it gave a chance to knock some dirt off the Jeep:

Today's mission was installing the Lasfit red switch panel for the air compressor and forthcoming ARB air lockers. The kit seems really nice and installed easily. So far so good:

The Metalcloak rear anti-sway bar reinforcements also came in. Wicked simple install, too:

The weather is looking decent this weekend, we may do some Jeep things ?
