Those are all the access holes I use to stick the garden hose in to flush out the dirt sand and mud after wheeling. They look cool though!
I'm trying to keep crap from going into those holes.

Went to the local Jeep Fest today. Didn't win the Gladiator class this year. Someone with a white Rubi with stripes and a winch and bumper won.

Installing the Fox ATS stabilizer this weekend.

Wrapped the body and reservoir with 3M clear vinyl to protect them from FOD.

Installed the Apex clamp on the stabilizer.

Have another project. Already have a HiLift jack mounted in the bed. Decided to mount my shovel the same way, using the same HiLift mounts. Had to remove the stud and drill and tap 2 new holes in each one.

Been a busy day. Did an oil change, fuel filter change, grease all the Johnny Joints and steering linkage. Sending oil sample to Blackstone Labs. Rotated the tires. The tire jack I got from Summit Racing is paying for its self.

Installed the Rock Jock frame plugs. The ones in the frame were easy to install. Took a razor knife and cleaned the hole. Then used a rubber mallet to tap into place. The plugs for the cross over tube were a PITA because the holes are not exactly round. They are kind of egg shaped from welding. Had to use a die grinder with a burr bit to round out the holes.

Playing around with the adjustments on the ATS stabilizer. Started at 10 clicks from full soft. Yesterday went to 8 clicks from full soft. Today went to 6 clicks from full soft. Think I'll keep it there for a while. Driving back and forth from work. The roads have tram lines, bumps, pot holes, and a host of other thing that go bump in the night. The tram lines are the tar seals and joints in the concrete between lanes. When i would do a lane change. I would get a wiggle in the steering wheel. That's gone now.
