Applied my newly acquired 4WD emblem from Gladius Offroad so that I could replace the last OE decal. He and his better half were at the GSMJI where I saw it and had to convince him to sell it to me. I learned it was a production run of 3 so good luck finding another one anytime soon unless you...

Over by the stage... Money Pit

I got this little gem added today... There were A LOT of Gladiators there with much more money tied up in them so I was happy to win. It pays to keep your ride cleanly themed.

I had a spacer in mine that got chucked when I went with a 94. As others have said, get the big boy.

Upper Tellico was awesome back in the day. I went a few times in my brand new TJ with the OE donuts. That place is what really gave me the bug to build Jeeps bigger and better.

Got the extended front brake lines in... Before anyone asks, I had to call Crown Performance and custom order them. They even gave the option of leaving the brackets loose so that I could decide where I wanted them before clamping them down to the line. Turnaround was less than two weeks...

Full disclosure... I haven't driven it much since this last upgrade but don't foresee much of an issue. I've had the Bilstein on there with the OEM setup and a Synergy relocation kit for a while with zero issues if that helps. That stabilizer is stiff as a board compared to the OEM and the...

Got the last of the Metalcloak components installed. I think this went easier than expected since I took a lot of measurements prior and generally matched the new components. I still have an alignment scheduled Tuesday to see just how far off I was. Last time I was impressively close so we'll...

Well, apparently I hate money but... The arms and correction brackets did the trick! A huge thank you to @Metalcloak for making a top-notch product and also to Rock Your 4x4 out of Knoxville who came out to the GSMJI. Without their input, I'd still be worried about what all was needed...

I'll have the money pit there in the show & shine area.

Mostly show prep (deep clean detailing, glaze coat, etc.)for this week's show & shine. Made a slight upgrade to the lighting setup, which is a major improvement IMO... Put a pile of these together to give away at the GSMJI. If you end up with one of these, at least you'll know who it came...

The good news is that the weather won't be as brutal as last year. I'm also looking for a shade option but want to figure a way to mount it to the front if I can.

I used this method (the cut groove) and it worked really well...

That's an old Santa Cruz electric shotgun rack/lock. It's wired in so you need to have the vehicle acc. on and find the switch to get it open. I'm not sure they even make that style anymore as I can't find it on their website. It needed a little love but a trip to Hobby Lobby for new felt and...

It is. That thing is built like a tank too.

Got some under-seat storage put in...

I'll be the first to say that this is a solution in search of a problem. The tube and box never really mated up well enough to my liking so I had been using RTV to dress it up. Not fussing at K&N, but their mold QC for that line could use some improvement. The thread inserts stuck out and the...

Cleaned the filter out and decided to create a gasket for it... What I had to work with... Measure & sketch... Created on Autodesk Fusion and transferred to the print program... Prototyped in PLA. Fit like a glove! Printed... Installed... This is my first go at printing with TPU and it...
