Congrats, I'm and ASM and have two sons who made Eagle. The oldest is at BSA's Bisset Camp this summer as a fly-in canoe guide. I got the jeep because he took my Mazda5 (I probably got the best deal).

Fixed a snapped bolt stuck in the steering gearbox brace. I broke it when test fitting a bumper. Once I broke off the cheap aluminum brace, I fished out the bolt with a vice grips. I put in a new JCR gearbox bracket/brace.

sweet! i did it myself. i spray bombed it. first time ive ever done anything that big and it turned out pretty well. its held up for a year so far and i get her muddy all the time and just let it sit on there. it is chipping at a few spots but thats spots i didnt put a thick enough coat on i guess. good luck with it if you decide to do it yourself! lemme know if you have any questions or anything.

Back to subject, I didn't do anything to the Jeep except take it to the county fair. But I ordered new Bilsteins for the Chevy Colorado. Figured I might as well bring that up one to par, too.

No, I don't lick fish.
Grats on making Eagle!
I was in scouts, but I had to quit when I got into highschool because I started working. I'm going to put my to sons in scouts and try my hardest to encourage them to achieve Eagle. It is a high honor that many unfortunately don't understand nowadays.
Now to what I did...
Took it on a food run for the Comm. Center during the tropical storm this evening... love all the ground clearance. The guys at McD's were lookin' at the jeep with an approving nod as if to say, "that's what you need in this weather."

Drove it to my brothers house doorless because it was 100. Then the clouds rolled in and it poured for nearly an hour. My friend's XJ was also doorless and our other friend rode his motorcycle. It was awesome lol
