Very nice Jeep. I have the flex era 4’s on my bumper, also with red bezels. I added the amber lenses for snow and love them. Couldn’t agree more. I wanted a ton of light without 8 lights and these deliver. The amber works great for snow.
Thank you sir! We are definitely enjoying it and I couldn't be any happier with those Flex Era 4s.

'Preciate ya brother. Just found out that my control arms are supposed to be delivered today and I am ordering front and rear Anti-Rocks after I found a completely taco'd endlink in the rear (had to have happened on the last wheeling trip).

Thanks brother! We're really enjoying it. Still plenty more to come too!

I've noticed that in pictures too! It's got to be some distortion in the lens or something... because I've definitely gone and verified on more than one occasion after seeing it! HAHA!
yeah i was thinking about that since wide angle lenses really can distort images by the sides,well luckily the axle isnt bent that would really suck on a brand new truck,thats why that will be one of my first mods save up for a welder and get my experience back and weld on a front axle truss and continue the rest of my build :D

Control arms FINALLY came in and I got a full PSC big bore with Hydro assist waiting for install at the same time as the control arms.

Also... the wife caught the bug so, we had to haul ass over to New Orleans to pick up this beauty of a JLUR.

In the light of having 2 rigs in the garage now, I jumped up to some 39x13.50r17 BFG KM3s so we can put the 37s on the wife's rig. That's definitely going to force my hand on axle trusses and re-gearing.

I managed to get some upgrades done before we leave for Moab this week.

The thoughts of needing to get the spare tire out from under the truck when it's in a compromised position never made me feel good so I came up with a way to strap it to the bed cover.

Got the front control arms installed but unfortunately didn't have time to do the rear 4 link.

Also, got these insane RadFlo shocks installed. Adjustable, rigid/finned external reservoir. About 3 inches more travel up front and 2 inches more travel out back.

All in all, extremely happy with being able to get this stuff knocked out before Moab, should be VERY useful... but it sure would have been nice to get the 4-link and the PSC done but, oh well. Still gonna be a hell of a time!

Just driving past a Buc-ee's is a great excuse to stop at one! HAHA! I have spent a small fortune at that place over the years!

I’d go every weekend if I could. In my top 3 favorite places. Have a great time. What trails are you planning on?

I'm not 100% sure. We're going with a pretty big group and you know how busy things are during EJS. I'm just going to go with the flow, get in where I fit in. I think the only one that's off the list of potentials is Pritchett Canyon.

Very nice.

Uh, with a name of Levi, I’m sure you’d already know, but if you didn’t; there was a Levi’s jeans edition made by Jeep some years back. I figured worth mentioning for others who‘d find it of interest.

HAHA! It's bad enough for me and the closest one is like 30 miles! I'd be so screwed if I had one 6 miles away!
