Well and in my case, it looked kind of silly with the rocker armor covering half the sticker.
Thanks on the collection, looking forward to filling the other side and trying to catch up to your total, what was it like 35?
Good memory. Only recently got the 36th in Vegas. I’m not sure I’m winning with all the miles I’m putting on. But no regrets. So fun to see the country.

Wow, I really like that lift. Does it feel secure with your truck up there? Do they make one higher than 6,000 lb capacity. My JL 392 weighs 6,550 lbs on the local Cat scale. It has grown a bit since it was new and has 40s, a lot of steel skid plates, bumpers, step sliders. Have you weighed your JT?
Thanks! It feels secure, but I do have tall Jack stands that I put under the opposite side, then it is very secure. I'm not sure if there are heavier duty single post lifts. I have not weighed it yet, but it's on my list of things to do.

As long as you’re safe, I’m seriously loving that your dream of having a lift had been realized.

Yeah I was at SMORR 11 AND 12 October 2024, great park would go back again
I was there the week before you. Love that park, will definitely go back again. Both it and Hot Springs are really doing things well compared to some locations I've been too.

That part right there is 100% how I feel about it. I'm doing Merus, Moab, and Colorado in July and driving to all of it from here in TN and back.

Got a buddy in Lake Tahoe today on his way to the Rubicon, drove all the way from TN in a super-charged V6 JKU on Tons/40s. šŸ˜‚ I'd hate to see that gas bill, but otherwise I'm jealous daily as he's posting pictures online.

I really enjoyed hot springs. I’d go there again as well.

So great. While the miles are hard to watch as they pile on, I feel great satisfaction from doing the trail, and getting home under my own power. Lots of the fun for me is being able to fix it when needed, or better yet, prepping it to not break…much. If you want company on holy cross in CO, I’m in.

New rear bumper and bed steps/bed sliders. Everything is super beefy. I feel bad for anyone who hits my bumper next time. It would be a much easier job if I didn’t have rear parking sensors. My overland plastic bumper was a pain to disable the parking sensors and wiring harness. My adjustable height saw horses were clutch for assembly and installation. I also took the time to clean everything up good. The last pic is the embed step/sliders bracket. It’s super solid and also bolts into the rear bumper and has another brackets to reinforce where it attaches.

It’s the body armor brand. I wasn’t familiar, but it’s good quality and looks nice. Next up is installing my new front bumper and winch and install my new aux lights.

That bumper is bad ass and super slick. What brand is that, I might want one.

Body Armor. It’s not very expensive and it’s good quality. The bed step is option, but I missed my bumper step on my GMC and it adds a lot of protection too.

Reminds me of the good old days before we all had windshields.
And before full face helmets.

How to tell a happy motorcycle rider?
By the number of bugs in their teeth.

I've been waiting for my Snake and Cougar Crossing badge for 6 months now, glad to see you have yours.
Shoot an email from the email address in the app, I did a bunch of the SW Colorado trails and waited over a year before I decided to email them. They got them to me within a week. (Ironically did many of the same trails in a Renegade and had those badges within a month a year prior.)

I emailed them around the 3 month mark, their reply was that they were on backorder and they will ship when they come back in stock. The 2 badges I'm waiting for have been removed from the BOH trail list so who knows if they will ever restock them.
