Y'all, ShadowsPapa had spoken. If he says there's likely no damage, then it shall be likely no damage.

I've decided to upgrade to the black cast iron pipe propped in the corner of my garage ??‍♂️?‍♂️

Added a class 3 Curt hitch receiver to my non-tow-package JTM with plastic bumper. Pretty straightforward install. Followed this video to take off the bumper cover so I didn't have to drill a hole in the plastic bumper. Used the ol' AutoZone "rental program" to get a bit big enough for the top...

That's one hell of a story!

I call that TL;DR treatment the "business TL;DR." It seems to be prevelant when sending emails to managers that never bother reading entire emails ?‍♂️

There's such a damn fine line between "Let's use this thing for what it was made for!" And "Holy shit this is the second most expensive thing in my life right meow."

The lockers might've been left locked? I feel like I was smarter than that though. Can't really remember. But the wheels were so thick with mud, I feel like they would've just slid with the angle. I had, like, no traction on the pavement for a few minutes ?

This is the kind of confidence I need in my life ?

I didn't remove them, but I did the highest external wash (incl. undercarriage and a manual spray down) and then got underneath with a hose when I got home to get the caked stuff off that side of the wheels and off the top of some of the skid plates. Think that was good enough?

It was the angle of recovery I was worried about most. By the end, the recovery truck was almost pulling me out at 90° ? But that mud was CAKED! North Carolina red clay ain't no joke. My tires were worthless! Made me realize how useful mud-specific tires probably are.

Thanks for taking a look. The tires really were like driving on ice for the next few minutes. Had to do a U-turn shortly thereafter and I applied just enough power to basically pivot on the front wheels a full 180 degrees ?. I'll schedule an alignment/balance this week.

??? I could hear something strain, and then rebound at the end of the video—so it sounded like just a flex? Other ears help. 'preciate you looking and listening to the vid.

TL;DR: What kind of damage could have been done by the kind of recovery in the video attached below (shot on a potato). I did a no-no by testing out a few mud puddles off a back road by myself, with no winch. The route led to a powerline road (illegal to drive on in NC), so I backed out—instead...

What brackets did you use? Seems like there's no hardware out there for a 20" lightbar mounted behind the plastic bumper! Did you mount it to the existing holes where the closeout panel was?

If you're asking if you can keep the rubi rock rails on AND these sliders—then no. I had to remove and sell my stock Mojave rock rails to get these on.

I had to call them to find the JT link, and they directed me over to Quadratec (though I may have gotten the last pair): https://www.quadratec.com/p/paramount-automotive/gen-2-tri-tube-rock-sliders-gladiator-jt-81-30600.

Replaced OG rock rails with Paramount Automotive Gen 2 JT rock sliders.

I inherited a 20" lightbar I want to mount between my plastic bumper and the grille. I see lots of lightbar + bracket packages for sale (like this one) where the bracket is installed where the stock closeout panel is (between the bumper and the grille). All I need is the bracket, but I can't...

Do you recall the shank length and diameter of the ball you're using? I'm gonna go the drill-into-plastic-bumper-to-install-ball route, like in those final few pics of yours ?

Just saw this thread pop up, and—as a former frequent participant and watcher of this thread—i just gotta say: sell. your. 2020. and. buy. a. 2021. Obviously, it's based on your circumstances. But I sold my misfiring 2020 sport s and bought a 2021 Mojave and the difference is PHENOMENAL. The...
