Will have to remove this at some point, but it's not going anywhere and the bumper will be tossed eventually.

While Iā€™m not aiming to get them, the ones Iā€™ve gottenā€¦have some memories with them. I still break out the touch up if I see primer though. lol
For sure, I still two bucket wash, and wax, and do my best to keep the paint in great shape. It looks great, but if you get close or catch the light just right you can see brush stripes and wheel rash. It still polishes up better than most peoples dailies and commuters because the paint isnt swirled with scratches from drive through washes. Jeepeto II was striped from bumper to bumper but when she was freshly washed people would always compliment it or ask if it was new.

Do take care of it, just donā€™t sweat the inevitable stripes that are to come.

This idiot decided to bite into a can of white Raptor liner. The entire rear seats and floor mats are peppered with it. I yelled at him, he barked at meā€¦ I wanted to round house him in the dome.

accidently tore the passenger side foam blocker while installing the Mopar Black Satin Grill. Didn't realize that it was also glued to the f'ing grill frame.

So you got the grill that comes on the Willys? If that is it, I want to get the black grill for my Red Sahara. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the grill?

i could be wrong but i think the Willys comes with a gloss black grill. The one i have is the Mopar Black Satin Grill which normally goes for ~$300 + s/h.

I did and even though the Mopar Satin Grille comes with new foam pieces, i still went ahead and purchased a replacement trim foam for the white grill i took off... i did not realize that the foam parts were also held on by push pins until it was too late. Everything else was very simple to install.

I'm still on the fences on the satin blk grill so i wanted to have the white grill ready to go if i changed my mind.

When I get my Sahara, I am going to do the black grille also. The Willys I have seen look really sharp with the Red body and black grille.

Pretty sure i cross-threaded the bolts that hold the cowl on. I cleaned and chased the threads on the bolts and the captive nut in the cowl panel and no matter how hard I tried and tried to get things lined up after probably 5 minutes of not being able to get the bolt started...once it grabbed i ran with it and didn't turn back.

I about freaked out when driving home from work today and it started hailing. There was a lot of nasty weather in the area with major sized hail but luckily the hail that hit my Jeep didn't get any bigger than pea sized. I wonder how large the hail needs to be before the Sky One Touch Top is unable to keep it from penetrating?

Probably would have completely missed that weather but I needed to stop for fuel on the way home. The fuel stations in the area went up at least twenty cents a gallon today and Costco was fifty five cents a gallon cheaper. Hail damage would have wiped out that savings pretty quick though.

I did want to wash my Jeep tonight after getting back from a walk with my wife. Was talking with a neighbor when my next door neighbor called me to come over. He and his son were brewing beer and he wanted to show me their process. Cool but the only problem was they started at one in the afternoon and it was now about seven in the evening. They'd been drinking beer since about the start and it showed. Or rather, it slurred. I wonder if he'll even remember tomorrow that he talked with me tonight?

Smacked something right near the end of the trail and knocked my alignment out. Now I have to find time this week to get it in for an alignment. Weird thing is, what ever it was, wasnā€™t the hardest ding I took. I canā€˜t even think of what it was.

Not to worry youā€¦but unless a track bar or adjustable control arm bolt is a bit loose, thereā€™s not much to realignā€¦hope you didnā€™t bend somethingā€¦..

I don't have anything sever yet, some scrapes on skidplate and tow hook, some light agitation on the rims from rocks, some paint chipped off the hinges even after putting on some PPF on them myself, oh well. It is what it is.

Yeah, Iā€™m concerned it might be the track bar, Iā€™m going to have a closer look this morning. Worse case I put a TMR Customs 2.5 tonne on.

Slowly ease your way into it. I soon realized its way more fun to off road than it is to have a clean jeep that owns you and gives you anxiety every time dust gets on it.
