well I like mud and trails but I like a mixture on the trail slightly rocky with some mud is perfect for me. But hell this jeep is 2wd I just hope I can get the parts from the junkyard cheap enough to make her 4x4

Default Mounted my Shovel on my Roof-rack today..........

So I don't have to carry it inside anymore....................


I bought these..................4-Wheel Parts has them in stock for $8.99





Installation is simple......................





I just drilled a 3/16" hole for each one..............





Used a little blue threadlock on the threads..................





10 minutes later, there they are!








This is my Winter shovel for wheeling....................My Summer shovel is smaller, and pointed.................








I bought the smaller size ones too. I wasn't sure which size would fit my shovel..................I'll find a use for these inside the Jeep......Maybe a flashlight mount or something.....

Just picked up a few of those at the suggestion of someone on Twitter. Gonna use their rollbar mounts to hold my HiLift in the YJ so I don't have to cut/replace zip ties if I need to use the jack

We have a bunch of them on our County trucks to hold various things..............They claim to hold 25lbs each clamp..........
Should hold a Hi-Lift no problem..........

FINALLY cut and folded rear fenders. Bought some bedliner to paint my quarters, and some hood vents I'll install probably tomorrow. Also began to plan out a cowl snorkel.

Just as Autozone certainly couldn't have made it to number-1 in the business by selling crap...........................

It's funny how internet rumors get started..................A couple people post up something, and then it gets circulated and circulated as absolute truth.................Sorry, but that's just the way it is....................

Kinda like Fram filters..................A couple people may have had a failure, but the millions and millions of other people who use them have never had a failure...........................But they are labeled as crap on the internet forums............
I personally don't use them, but I know a lot of people who do and have never had an issue..

Anyway..................No-one is forcing anybody to buy parts from anywhere..............Buy parts from whoever you like/feel confident about.
If you like a certain brand, buy that............................

For the record.............I don't like Fram. I think they are crap, and wouldn't buy one.....................Just sayin..................
STOP.............WITH...........ALL...........THE. .........PERIODS!!!!!!! Seriously, one at the end of a sentence is fine.

For the record, have Zero issues with Autozone and they're one of only two stores I use. The second is NAPA.
