@WILDHOBO love the bumper .. mine looks like a carbon copy but it is steel. Sorta jealous 🄸 , @Blade1668 Im having a time too locker sensor in rear axle stopped working giving Mr the blinky blinky light . The TPMS light won't go off ..so I turned the TPMS OFF screw it hate that crap anyway. And I am about to have the transmission replaced . Already bought it and all necessary components. Need to do the plugs and coils and injectors .. I got so much crap to do to mine its depressing and here I sit in it at work . Forced to drive it . And this 16 degree/ percent whatever short sections are 18 grades Im pulling .

Your bumper will survive hits better. Got pictures? I’ll need to hope I’ve become a better driver in the last 4 years. 🤣

I’d REALLY like to. But it’s only got 50 miles on the front so far. The heat cycles are done, but need to at least put a couple hundred easy miles on with 4hi auto engaged. Next time.
It's a moot point (having traded it in...) but I just realized I never properly broke in the 4.56 regear at the front on my '19 Wrangler. Oops, but they didn't break wheeling, so all good.

If you were within 6 hours I totally would. But feel free to reach out and I’ll give you any pointers you want. Like which bolts are super easy to drop in bad places. Seriously though, I’d pickup two camshaft position sensor gaskets. They’re impossible to get to unless the upper intake is off. It’s a bad design and they leak oil on the valve covers. Both of mine leaked. Cheap and easy to replace if you’re in there.

That's probably similar to how I feel when I tell the wife I spent 300 and it was really 450 šŸ˜‚
I always tell her what its worth... then what i spent, I never pay full price anyway ..and add the savings to my budget.... I learned "Girl Math" like when they shop at Kohl's...
I used to hate it, but now I can Budget Build Like Jackstand Jimmy on Cleetus ;)

Scissor Jack SteveO usually helps me with my projects, but he’s expensive for how terrible he is.

If you listen carefully, you can hear "We're kicking off our fun, old-fashioned family Christmas by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh" in this picture.

Edit: this is the exact location of that shot, just going North instead of South. Telephone poles are on the other side in the shot.

Edit edit: if you zoom in on the first image, you'll see a @WILDHOBO in there.

I was coming out of Atlanta one time and past this CRST truck . Well He passed me back . So I passed him again cause He kept slowing down after passing. I passed and then He speeds up and crashed right into my rear bumper ! Put a dent in it. (Small one) He actually shoved me past my exit . I went up and turned next exit tried to caught that creep but He was gone . I was pretty hot about that.
