Installed the American Adventure Labs modular front bumper. Rain moved in so I didn't have time to reinstall the lights so that's a project for another weekend.

That looks much better with the matching paint.

I really like that new bumper and your area. Stayed in a cabin there once and have been in that area a couple of times on my HD.

Thank you! Bought 4 cans of Mopar touch up paint in Gator and did it here at home. šŸ˜Ž

We like it! The casino made it a lot less of the sleepy town we fell in love with, but it beats the big city for sure.

I'm sure that changed things but you're right. Definitely beats the hustle and bustle of where I'm located.

Installed some Rancho Shock Skids. Fit was perfect and install was straight forward

Those look like one of the highest quality aftermarket parts I’ve even seen!! What do they run?

How do you like them on Mojave? I found out that Jeep doesn't make a full set that fits Mojave so I've ordered the WT ones.
I put WT on my wife's JLU 4xe after finding out the Jeep ones didn't fit it!
They look nice on there.....
In fact, I have to say the whole truck looks good!

Ok. Now I’m very interested. I used mopar paint to do my bumper a while back, and I can’t get it to hold up for anything. What did you use for clear coat?

Ugh! I didn't put clear on mine. I cleaned it up with soap and water, put 2 coats of Rust-Oleum flat black primer (white aluminum primer on the end caps) and 3 coats of the gator. Hope it holds up. Worst case, I found a "mushroom brown" powder coat that's almost a perfect match, I'll strip it and start over.
