Got the OVERT (Offroad Vehicle Emergency Response Team) appliqués and sticker for the spare tie cover. These are 3M reflective making the vehicle very visible at night, along with the green strobes. Helps identify us better when encountering other first responders. We're a young organization that has recently received both NC State approval as well as at the Federal level. For now we're only operating in North Carolina but will eventually spread to other states once all protocols and procedures get fully established.

Got the Off-Road Evolution exhaust skid plates for long arm kits. I get Evo skids because they're well thought out, minimalistic, and trail tested. I hate larger skid plates that accumulate crud and heat. I had to trim one of the corners a bit so it would butt up against the TJM fuel tank skid. Fits like a charm. They make another wider one for JKs that don't have long arm kits and use the factory brackets.

Look up alanjk427 or Molle Platform Solutions on eBay. He also has a web page but, he's mainly on eBay. He will customize it if you need something special. Great guy to deal with.

Added the PSC cooler because my steering would stiffen up on hot days. Had to fab up a mount due to the fact that I have the Bolt hood lock. The PSC mount they sell is for two coolers and I have no use for the second one. Like always I remembered to take pics after I finished the job. :(

Went down to the local 4Wheel Parts because they have a ramp and they let you use it anytime. I wanted to check travel and any rubbing issues since the last mods. Good thing is nothing rubs or gets in the way. Adjust bump stops are perfect. The bad thing is the travel is pretty pathetic. Mainly due to short shocks. May have to swap out shocks down the road.

I mages from this weekends ride at Big Creek Rock in North Carolina. I love this place because it's on private land. The JK is really starting to become an amazing trail rig. Really got to push it hard and it performed flawlessly.
