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...
...and with that said ?
Traction boards:

After a 4-5 week wait, which was well worth it, our Rock Hard 4x4 rock rails came in and are now installed...
As things are arriving, we're getting them installed. The annex for the roof top tent came recently. We haven't test fit it, but this will play a major role in our comfort and protection from mosquitoes ?
Tonight the front shackles and the rear shock skids came in. The wife wanted blue...
