Last Sunday I wheeled it to the top of Lily Bay mountain for the first time this season. Still lots of snow in the shaded places.



And yesterday I got my RC 1.25" seat risers I ordered from JeepHut

I replaced a couple of lower body bushings that needed it. Here is a picture of one I replaced under the new one.

UCF (the one I have) does tucks that do not require BL or MML, but they are not nearly as flat as the ones that do.
Thanks!!!

Same problem here. Wish I had a soft top I could just fold down. Hardtop only here; it always rains when I have to go to work

Unintentionally parked right next to a sprinkler head last night. About 6am, that baby popped up and washed the driver seat for me. Right before class

Ordered a UCF ultra clearance skid for it, just need to save up for a Tatton d-shaft and a low pro mount before I can put the skid on. Gonna be so nice to get rid of the stock shovel.

You might want to double check how tight that bolt is. It looks like the lower bushing is being squeezed too hard, at least on one side. If it's left like that too long, the same thing will happen to the new bushing...

Unless someone has the actual torque specs (not sure how exact a science that is), it should be nice and snug, but the bushing should still be flat. It should be finished be hand with a ratchet driver, not run on with a 1/2" impact.

Gave my winch a pat on the back for saving me today...
The picture doesn't do it justice but my rear bumper ended up under mud and the mud was clayish so it caked front tires quite fast
