Been working on the storage box more. I am at a point that I waiting on my latches (Amazon said they would be here this past Thursday). I still need to cut some wood for in front of the wheel wells, but I may leave this for now as it leaves a nice spot to store some tow straps. I am still undecided, but either way it will get bed lined before those pieces go in.

Not going to lie adapted the hinge idea off of the squad box but used a common bracket from the depot.

Finished prepping my new Dana 4.88 UD44 for install earlier this morning, drilled spring perches for bump stops (no idea why they do not come pre-drilled) and finished cutting/grinding down the lower stabilizer bracket and welds. I know why they put that lower stabilizer bracket on (to fit stock/OEM JL's) but it is still a lame idea...I was hopping to install it tomorrow but looks like I may have to go out of town to meet with a client on a new project so it may take a few more days...

Swapped out the side mirror caps with the OEM export version to add signal lamps, and may have gotten a little carried away with the additional lighting. Hardware installed today, wiring still to be done. Baja S2 combos to light up the side blind spots will be controlled by aux3, 3/4” smoked amber led marker light will tie in with the fogs, and another 3/4” smoked white led underneath the mirror that will serve as a puddle light that comes on with the courtesy lights at unlock. Install not hard but involved a bit of cutting/shaping the caps and some of the mirror support structure with a Dremel. I’ll post again once I have a chance to run the wiring.

The Leopold Deltapoint has treated me well. I'm a fan of non magnified and lightweight red dots on my ar's.
I've recently swapped out my carry pistol for the past 20 years for a Sig P365 XL with a red dot.

Two reasons:

1) My old carry was starting to wear from a lot of range use. Parts are hard to get, and expensive.

2) My old eyes appreciate the red dot at further distances to target.

Not sure I could go back now......

How was the install for both the lights and the recovery loops, did you need to remove the bumper?
I didn't remove the bumper for either one. The recovery loops were simple, no issues at all. The passenger side loop did require a light tap with a rubber hammer to get the nut plate inside the frame (it's a tight fight to get into the frame when you squeeze the nut plate by the inside of the metal bumper). The lights were a little pain with trial and error with the Dremel tool to sand down the aluminum on the drivers side light. The original version of the lights (which I have) have know fitment issues with the drivers side mounting location in the metal bumpers. Oracle now has an updated version coming out that has no fitment issue. In order to get the screw back in (out was easy) I just used several extensions on a 1/4" ratchet. Laying under the Jeep with a light allowed me to see where the screw was going. The real key was to tape the edge of the washer (on the new screw) to the socket, in order to hold it in place. I did have an issue with the screw falling inside the socket and not leaving enough threads exposed to engage in the light. That was solved by dropping a small pebble into the socket before putting the screw in, and then using duct tape to hold the edge of the washer to the socket. Worked like a charm :) no bumper removal needed.
