Mabe, I missed it, but did you heat the knuckle? Sucks that a 12 ton pressed failed to remove it!
I didn’t initially. I had very little pressure on it. It was just a bad angle. It’s an awkward piece, so I just need to figure out the setup.

so I can be the recoverER and not the recoverEE

I’ve seen a rollover there as well. I have no interest in Devils hot tub. The one adjacent isn’t bad though.

In preparation of a coastal visit this weekend, I made a stop for the rear window. We take our dog almost everywhere we go, so being able to leave the back window partly opened, but secure would be handy.

Piece of stainless steel from some old shelf, I cut to 6.5 inches. Drop it in the channel and bam. If I like it, I'll probably shrink wrap it so it fits snugger and doesn't rattle.
What I'd really like is a power rear window like our last two pickups.
Yeah i wish Jeep could've figured out how to have a power back window like a tundra that drops down. 3 things accomplished with that, easy open, no electrical connection on the top it self, and lighter top!

so it was bottoming out ever pot hole so...
yesterday I pulled the stock bumps and teraflex bump stock extensions and added Teraflex bump stops
also I found that the drag link was worn and I had ordered the Tera flex HD Drag link ( I swear I was gonna not be a teraflex fan boy and get more stickers for my tool box ... oppps) my 13 year old some helped me get the steering wheel straight, he nailed it also checked the steering box bolts and they needed a few ugga uggas ... it rides smooth and straight now

Is that the one next to mickeys? I’ve done the one next to mickeys. Just not the crazy one.

the rollover was in devils hot tub. Ive been in and out of that one as well. Collin, the guy recording the rollover, filmed me too but I guess getting out didn’t make the cut 🤣

No actual jeep can crawl out of there. Requires some skinny peddle and commitment lol

Yeah I realized later I had the name wrong. Still the same one I was thinking of. Lots of pedal and risk.

I almost forgot that I still have them in a bag in the garage. I leave the Sunrider on year round. If I lived where there's heavy winter snow, I would probably swap it in and out, but now I'm in the land of non-stop hell on earth heat, so it's never coming off. Welcome Spring/Summer/Fall.

so I can be the recoverER and not the recoverEE (scroll to 3rd image)

The 392 that did the backflip was Brian, he's the owner of one of the 4x4 shops near me. I actually might see that Jeep in it's current state as I'm going to the grand opening of the new shop tomorrow.
