Looks good. Stupid question - you haven’t torqued down yet in this pic correct?

With me no question is stupid. I removed tools already. The front skids will wait another day or maybe later today. Torqued both skids to the #190 instructions said. That's another thing. Without lift like Jelly (Roky) that big ass Torque wrench (2 feet long) is tough using. I ordered from Home Depot but didn't know it was that big.

I will need to wedge that shock in place so I can just slide bolt out and right back in without shock moving. ??????????????

I just used a big screwdriver to align things. No jack or anything needed.

Tire irons work pretty good for that in my opinion. Just be quick about flipping the bolt before it slips back out. Oh you have those skids now, its gonna be tougher to get something in there lol

Is that fried Bologna ? I love fried bologna sandwiches. Little miracle whip. Reminds me when my Nannie made them when I was kid.

Looks like the skid will help wedge shock better. Maybe.

Busy couple of days. Went to Pioneertown and stayed in a cool retro travel trailer through VRBO.

Saw Elizabeth Cook play at the local saloon.

On Saturday morning, headed up Burns Canyon to Big Bear.

Hit Big Bear Oktoberfest on Saturday night.

Well one hour later have my 1st Rear Hard Rock LCA skid installed. 3 more to go.

The front ones were even more fun. Worth it though. Also, I did paint mine to match the Rancho stuff, so I'm kind of glad you didn't.

I decided to see how the drone would cope with an extremely windy day. It's rated for winds up to about 24 mph, and I'd say there were gusts considerably stronger. There are definitely some glitches in the video where I can see the propellers or the arms, which hints at crazy bad things happening in the gusts. In spite of that, the video is amazingly stable. I love this thing! Jeep + Drone = Happiness.

If I get my Jeep back in time, and if the weather permits, next weekend, I feel confident enough to fly down to the treetops below the 700' high cliff, and get some video showing the crazy place I'm standing in context. I may be going on my first wheeling trip with a friend that time too.
