I see you moved the rack mounts.

Great setup you have there. How much time would you say it takes to open and close the awning, with one person?
Yes, I moved them; thanks for the heads up on that. Your description of "peeling off the rain gutter" was a great motivator!

I've only opened it a few times now but it's maybe 2 minutes to open, set up the 3 extra poles, and attach the straps which tension the outer most "bat wing" tips. I strap both tips to the front, passenger side rack mount.

Closing is more like 4-5 minutes including stowing the poles & winding up the straps.

This isn't typical off road stuff, but here are pictures of my adventures this week. The Outsiders movie house where the Curtis Brothers lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Twister movie museum, Dorothy I, Aunt Meg's house location and a funtional tornado siren in Akita (Tornado Alley), Oklahoma, windfarm near Akita Oklahoma, the Golden driller Statue in Tulsa, Oklahoma and a stop on Route 66 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Edit: added a picture of the Twister movie museum.

Took a trip up to Council Rock where Cochise signed the Broken Arrow Treaty. Then we went around deep into the Dragoon Mountains to the Abril mine. Found my 4wheel low gear slipping and making bad noise in the rear differential. Still a fun day.

Put it to use for yard chores. Pulled several deep rooted bushes that had died. Wrapped tow strap around base of bush, connected to rear d-ring, and gave it gas.

Learned the value of the Line Dampener when one of the more tough ones finally popped loose, flew forward, and the strap’s hook and the bush bounced off the bottom of rear bumper. Without the dampener I wouldn’t doubt I‘d be replacing the rear window. Added more weight to dampener bag after that, and used a little less of a lead foot on gas.

First time I’ve used a soft shackle — for tow strap to d-ring — and was glad to see it work as good as they say.

Could I have done the bushes by hand? Sure. But this was more fun!

I need to find someone with a winch, and offer them gas money, as I have similar work that needs attending to. My lower back won't let me dig the bushes out, and I made no decent progress with my Ridgeline and a truck chain.

A tad too far for me to offer.

You supposed to have a Dodge Ram. Not a Ram, not a Fiat, not an AMC Kaiser Fiat Daimler Peugeot Jeep. What's wrong with you bro? :CWL: 🤪:CWL:🤪:CWL:🤪:CWL:😁

Then cruised through the field, for sunset, saw many deer, but the dash camera did not pick them up which is to bad. While we saw about 10 or so deer out at the edge of the lights. and some nice colors of the horizon, the return presented a sweet moon.

Great pictures. I’m inspired by the way you use and enjoy your Jeep.
Please tell your friends, Todd & Lisa that their LJ looks spectacular and I wish them the best of luck with it.
