Not much. "Fabbed" up a storage net for the lil cubbyhole hole in the cargo area. Looks like it'll come in handy. Also loosened the shackle bolts an shook her around. Tightened too much when I hurried the bushings last week. Also took the front sway bar off. Only gonna run it when I have passengers or cargo

Was looking to do the same thing today. Want to put my coil airhose and winch remote in there. Was looking around the garage for something that might work.

I use a laundry bag. Cut to shape and had low voltage cable straps that I bolted through. Well see if it holds NY bumps

Have you ever seen the Copper Hemi JK on YouTube? The things a beast.

As for the leafs and air bags, I don't think ride comfort and safety are a bad thing. That's like saying you'd rather ride coach on a plane then the comforts of first class lol.

Yea, and steal away. I couldn't find anything locally and didn't feel like spending shipping

And fyi, use 6/32 x 1" bolts with small washers on the back. I had some small bolts from my work van so I might change em up in the future if need be

I just mounted some plywood on my fullsize spare, works out great since it's more durable. Also I have a craptonne of this thin plywood laying in my garage right now, need to do something with it.

changed oil with Rotella T 15W-40 and NAPA gold filter. It was WAY over due for one and i noticed a slight lifter tick after the change, but a quick drive and it seemed to clear up. i think the flex plate is next.. sick of it sounding like a diesel..

Went off roading. My alternator died so I limped it to advance and changed it in the parking lot then continued wheeling. Also my axle side track bar bolt backed out so we jerry rigged it back.

It's a Jeep.

Capability.
Simplicity.
Durability.
