Homemade WJ recessed winch bumper so far. Beginning to take shape. I always loved the round curves of the WJ, and set out to design a bumper that complimented that. Everything below the end wings is getting cut out (high clearance). Still have a bit of shaping to do, then the other side wing.. Shackle mounts, then Ill design a skid plate.

Had a close call exploring some fire roads in Arkansas.
Was trying to do a K turn in a sketchy area, but kept slipping. And then something weird happened with my engine.
I started it and ran super rough. It didn't matter if it was in reverse or drive, when I hit the gas pedal none of the tires moved and there was a knocking noise in the engine bay????
I was so scared I somehow killed my engine in the middle of nowhere with my wife. I was looking underneath half expecting to see a fuel line busted or something.
Fortunately, I after letting it sit for a few minutes, it started again no issues.
Asides, from that nerve-racking, it was a rather enjoyable experience.

Very thin steel sleeve that fits over the shaft where the seal rides. Gives a fresh surface if the old one has a groove worn from the seal lip. Also known as a Speedi Sleeve.

Been enjoying mine problem (and leak) free for a few weeks now. I installed some HPS silicone heater hoses that don't have the failure prone rubber to rigid hose gasket crimp trash that leaks. Looking at a weekender overlanding trip at the end of April and I'm glad this thing is officially doesn't have any "must fix" issues. I may drill out my rear sway bar to accomodate quick disconnect mounts before then, but that's a nice to have.
Here’s a recent photo of it overloaded with dirt. This was maybe 300-350 lb split between the roof and trunk, with that sag I am wondering if I should try out the HD OME springs versus the medium duty I have in the rear now. Turns out when you buy the "Heavy Duty" full OME kit they give you HD front springs and MD rear springs, slightly annoying.

Slammed some 1/4" SS hardware cloth in the grill mostly because when I go up to the north woods after dusk, which is often on a summer's Friday eve, I end up picking 20 brazillion moths out of my rad on Sunday eve. Ignore the remnants of the great trans cooler blowout of last weekend lol....
