I think it's a nice touch despite the final execution by the state, lol.

Just looking at that makes my shins hurt!

Thanks to a forum member who sold this on the marketplace, installed a lightly used bed rug. I uninstalled and reinstalled my trail rails on top of the rug with the bolts going through it. It turned out very clean. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I spent a few bucks with Metalcloak...

I will say that I am massively impressed with their workmanship thus far. I am really looking forward to getting a bumper from them later this year.

How did the rear brackets end up working out with the rockblox. Any modifications?

Did my first home oil change and was pleasantly surprised that the dealer didn't over tighten the oil pan plug or the filter cartridge. Easiest oil change ever - it took longer to run to the store to get the oil and filter than to do the change. Also, love how easy it is to reset the oil life "meter". In some of my past vehicles, it was 3 levels down in some menu or some tricky combination of button pushes to reset.

Are you sure you need that much bump space?? You only have like 1.5” of uptravel.

Had 5.38 gears installed at Exodus 4x4

Thanks. I had the Overland steps, which were really practical. They were light and wide (helped keep doors clean and provided a comfortable step). I wanted something more rugged, so I put on the Mopar Performance Rock Rails. Those are really nice, but it was somewhat too high to step onto when entering the truck, especially after I installed the Mopar lift kit. Then, I saw another member post LOD Destroyer sliders. Those are perfect. Built really well and had most of the good attributes of the previous two steps/sliders.

Great call. They look amazing and you were spot on about going for a more rugged vibe. It suits your ride!

Operation bumper chop is coming along. Got all the pieces cut. Will start welding tomorrow.

I’d use a 4x6. Beeeefffy.

Years ago. I welded a 4x6 I beam to the front of a buddy's CJ5.

Ha ha. That’ll add some weight.

He bent up the oem stamped steel bump. So he got a I beam from the steel mill for free. He wanted something that wouldn't bend. Took 2 guys to hold it in place while I tacked it. Once tacked. Think I burned up about a dozen rods.

Good stuff. Those are the fun memories. If this works, and that’s still up in the air, I’m looking forward to putting it back on “better” than it was. Alright. Better for me.
