I actually have a set of 4 in the red. It looked like a bit too much red; but I swap them out every now & then. Well, less now & more then.

I just have a thing for orange. Way too many orange golf balls... Nevertheless > > >

Rampage front skid plate with 20 inch light bar. Made one of the worst places on Jeep one of the best.

Inspired by Greg Wessels' concealed hoist video on youTube, I engineered and installed a concealed hoist in my garage this weekend. It worked out great and cost me only a little more than $200 to source everything I needed.

Day 30

Installed high amp quick connect onto batteries for using spare 4500 lb winch. This is what I used in my RZR days so I figured I might as well make use of it. I can use it to pill me out backwards or if main one breaks down.

The battery accessory terminals started galling after cycling the nuts ~10 times. This is common with stainless on stainless. Bought new ones with 3/8" posts that are taller. Now I spray a little lithium lubricant on them before cycling nut.

Installed Midland MXT275 GMRS radio. Being OCD I really wanted to screw the mount into a solid surface under dash or behind glove box. There really isn't anything. I finally found a good spot behind passenger speaker. I put a piece of foam around it to keep it from vibrating. It fit perfect! Read through manual. Pretty straight forward. I moved CB mic down to the holder on CB base unit and I'll leave GMRS mic up high. Also I used an ethernet coupler and short extension so I didn't eat up my coiled cord on mic.

Finished electrical!! The Gods have shown me mercy. Aux switch bar is busy..... Also not fun reaching under there and trying to grab 4 ring terminals with a short screw and line it up with screw hole.

Had to throw away fire extinguisher mount after it tore pulling on one of straps. Purchased Bartact mount.

Installed battery charging quick connect and routed it next to winch. Makes keeping battery charged easy. Sometimes Jeep will sit for a week.

That's it for today..... Carry on.

One day you will drive this Jeep, and it will be glorious.

Took her out this weekend! Love driving it. Don't necessarily like all the stares but it is very unique vehicle.

I saw that after I made my post. Congrats on driving super Jeep!

Day 33

Installed a new FireStik CB antenna. I couldn't get last one tuned. I managed to get this one down to 1.5 SWR but had to remove adjusting screw completely. Seems odd....

Washed, clayed and waxed her. Would love ceramic coating with Xpel but I don't think I'll get over $1860 price.

Built 2 ramps to flex JL and check my pucks and how the top mounted draglink does. Hopefully I have a clue what I'm doing....

Installed Tazer JL. Set TPMS to 25 psi, tires to 37.8" and disabled ESS. I don't understand why 25 is as low as you can set TPMS. I've seen videos of people setting it lower.... [Banned Site]. Light show was neat. I wonder if left hand drivers would move over if I did the light show behind them.....??

It's been called "the beast" by 2 different people.

I dig the flex ramp idea, i want to do the same, whats your dimensions?

I only live about 1.5 hours from you. You should hold a mod class. I’d be there! Really fascinated with your build. Great stuff.

30 degree angle. I have 21 inches to bottom of sliders so that what I made ramp height to. I made horizontal platform 12" long. I got nervous about them flipping sideways so I added the board that goes side to side. Hopefully it's enough height. Not sure if I'll be able to get up it tomorrow with front driveshaft uninstalled (waiting on gears).

Also these ramps will help with lifting front, rear or one side to do Fluid Film spray.
