What did you do to your 2dr today?

I don't think taking 1 tire off and putting it back on accomplishes the same goal.

Does it count if I rotate it 180degrees first

Added front and rear grimm off road steel brakeline and got some fresh fluid in the system.

It covers the big holes where the doors go

Okay I will give you that.

Added the bike rack for the first time for a quick trip down to the Oregon coast for the weekend. Luckily I had a 4in drop/rise hitch receiver on the RV that I could use to lower the rack to allow the door to swing. This way I only have to remove the bikes to open the door. Still a pain but better than having to also take off the rack.

Was fun to get out on our e-bikes.

Of course still had to make MickeyD’s stop because my better half is addicted to their iced mochas…

We are due for a nice stretch of weather through Thursday. Took my top off for the second time… luv the Top Lift Pro. Solo job.

I'm thinking of one for that exact reason. Or rather - we had a freak pop up thunderstorm/hail/downpour combo yesterday while I was at work with my upperless half doors and no windows in. My top was up, but I still came out to water in the footwells up past the slush mats and the entirety of the carpets and seating areas soaked. Cab cover would have saved my ass, and could've kept it in nice weather mode.

In keeping with the thread, I pulled the drain plugs yesterday and enjoyed a nice, soaked drive home before the wife and I used all the dirty towels in the house to dry up what we could. Today's calling for upper 80s and sun, so I dropped the top and will let nature dry out whatever I missed.

Installed MetalCloak's DuroSpring Upper Rear Bump Stop Replacements. It was only a 5-minute job but I just now got around to it. This is the easiest mod a person can do to their JL and that is no joke. The old bumps came off in about 3 seconds each - with slip-joint pliers. And the new cloaked bumps went on by hand in about 25 seconds. That's it. Easy as you please. If you want an easy win, do this mod. Even if you haven't done a lift yet, install these. You'll benefit from the tech and it'll be a great groundbreaker or warmup for more difficult to-dos on your build list.

I haven't done the fronts yet because I'm not sure what I'm doing up there. I may be swapping out my 4.5" Metalcloak dual rates for some 5.5" dualies. Or I may be putting in shims. So I'll put the cloaked bumps in at the same time.

FWIW: I've read that these are supposed to add an inch of bump stop.

Yeah, or take up that slack, right? That's why I included that pic. So you could see the difference - it's kind of a lot.

I also added all the pucks Matsonian and his guys throw in the box with the 4.5" kit. I have to keep these 40s from eating all the girl's sheet metal.

2dr overlanding is all about miniaturization and weight, especially if also a ‘toad’. I think I might be becoming an expert here (is that proper English?). Actually thinking about creating a thread on this subject to share notes.

We are still on our journey to downsize out camping gear so yes bestow your wisdom on us lol.
