Baja Deisgns Squadron fogs came in a few hours after I installed the bumper. Not 100% happy with them being a little uneven, but it’s late and I’m tired. I’ll have to refab those brackets some other day.

I worked out the bugs with my winch install, badland Apex 12,000lb winch with synthetic line is in.

It’s been so damn hot out, but I finally pulled off the LED DRL and turn signal retrofit. Those halogens are so butt ugly in comparison.

Operation EK was a success!

Got the ARB Twin compressor running using the Epic Kraken Inflation system, works like it is advertised.

This is on my shopping list.

This is on my shopping list.

Try and get in their preorder list. They’ll email you a few days before the sale goes live. I put myself in the list and then fomo’d into buying it. No regrets for once.

At just under 13,000 miles on the odometer, I figured changing the air filter wouldn’t hurt and I wasn’t wrong. I also took the opportunity to vacuum out the air box as some dust and debris had accumulated and really has no way back out.

No new mods or maintenance to report. I did however, get out twice this past weekend. Put about 700 miles on my truck overall, a lot of it off-road finally!

Some light to moderate wheeling in Utah (the guy in the front was 2WD) so obviously, there were ways around the hairy stuff.



Some more light to moderate stuff just a few minutes outside of town.

Got the JL Xtreme Recon fender flares put on today. Not too shabby, I didn’t feel the need to cut the bending portion of the rears like some members recommended, I just used a crap ton of rivets. Here are some pics.

Did Jeep things today!

Curious how often you all are changing your air filter element? I always try to do my vehicles yearly, especially with the dusty conditions we see + the wheeling kicks up extra dust.

Every other oil change for me so about 10-14k miles since I try to change between 5 and 7k. That works out to about every year as well

Got a set of the Rokblokz XL flaps installed on the front hoping to get less self pelting on gravel roads. They should be easy enough to remove too.

Done some more Jeep things the last few weeks. 20,000 miles on the odometer now.
