Took mine to Rausch creek last Saturday. Only had the one day to go have fun (aka no wife complaining about wasting my day ruining my truck) Knocked out Trail 11 before I ran out of day light. Followed some wranglers around and didn't get beat up either.
Kinda regret not taking it slow and enjoying the ride but I only had the one day. Only took the one pic at the end of the day...
Crazy thing is I received the Trail 11 Badge today. Just one week after running the trails.

Meet up with fellow member njjeepthing in the Atlantic City area and bought from him a minty take off AEV 2.5in DualSport RT Suspension System for a pretty good price. Then hit up the Borgota for some gambling and made back half of what I paid for it. Overall a good day.

Edit: I started a thread on this in the Roll Bars / Racks section of the forum to cover it since people seemed interested.

Not so much "Today" as in "Over the last week" but Im pretty stoked on this. I've been doing pre-summer maintenance and repainting my bumpers and stuff with bedliner, and I'm overhauling the Black Horse Classic roll bar.

I bought two 5ft pieces of black unistrut and a mix of stainless and chrome hardware, and two Jerry can mounts.

Cut the mounts to half height, bedliner'd them and reassembled with stainless. Added a new slot to the retaining strap to work with the reduced height.

Marked up the drill points on the roll bar mounts and drilled them, then removed it from the truck, disassembled & cleaned it, and repainted it with Raptor bed liner.

Reinstalled the roll bar, bolted the unistrut on, and then bolted on the mounts. They're aligned with the rear seat headrests so not blocking the rear window. Tonneau still fits. Mission accomplished.

Still need to finish painting and reinstall the side plates, and I'm likely to install a toolbox of some sort in between the cans, but I'm pretty happy with it.

Rausch Creek was my first and only BOH, that place is what drove me to skid everything under the Jeep . FAD, all control arms , rear shocks, oil pan, exhaust loop , Rubi rear bed rails, and last but not least rear hitch skid.
Glad ya had a good time…Jack

Diver Down seat covers. I don’t know if Wet Okole or Bartact are better, probably. For the money, these fit fine and all of them will degrade over time from UV anyway.

The seat back molle panels fit better with these covers too. I miss the leather a little bit but the red on red looks good and these add some nice padding. Mostly these are beach compatible which is the important thing.

I also moved the dog tether (Kurgo Zipline) from anchoring to the head rests to anchoring to the roll bar. Now the seat backs can fold independently again. I’m gonna try running this way without the dog hammock. Donut seems fine without it. The headrests limit his movement so he can hang out of the windows (his preferred position) without falling out. Those plastic panels over the rear doors are Thin Skinz https://thinskinz.com/, a must if you have dogs.

It has been a challenging time since a couple of weeks before Easter. It all seems like a blur.
We will lay my dad to rest on Tuesday.
I'm looking forward to some sunny day cruises with my bride to get my soul back into shape.

So sorry for you loss. Been there done that. It will get better but may take some time. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Great looking ride. Hope some day to take off my top and doors for a ride. It will definitely do you some good to get out and enjoy the fresh air. Hang in there.

Installed the Echomaster Terrainview Underbody Universal 4-Camera Kit (EMUBCAMKIT) along with their 7” AHD Monitor (PMON-7022-AHD). Also substituted the kit camera mounted on my bulbar, with the 170-degree angle Stinger HD Universal Camera (PHD5N1). The cameras included in the kit are 140-degree angle.

Will do an actual rock crawling test this coming weekend at Rausch Creek off-road park.

The rear view is limited since I have a stock Rubicon. The rear view will be more useful after I get a lift so that I will be able to see my rear diff and tires.

P.S. Posted installation steps here:
