Picked this cab cover up for $60 on FB Marketplace. Brand New

 

Not necessarily what was done TO my JK but FOR it.
Put up this inexpensive top hoist this morning

 

Heading out

 

At 203,000 miles, new tie rod and drag link. Front end is rock solid again.

 

I’ve had my Jeep since December 2015. Worked a bunch of extra time at work. This week, Changed antenna, added door handle inserts, grill inserts and A-pillar pod lights. Wheels and tires on order should be here in 2 weeks.


Stock high beams


Led pod lights. (I only use in country with no oncoming traffic)

 

Installed a paramount bumper, Apollo in tech 4 switch system with rugged ridge pillar pod, rock lights, and rear LEDs

 

Nothing exciting, kind of a bummer actually. I had to put my top back on because my allergies were killing me!

 

Got rid of my stock wheels and tires.
upgraded to:
Fuel “vapor” wheels (machined) 17x9
33in Nitto Ridge grapplers

rides great. The tires are not loud and the whole setup looks great. Have a leveling kit to install later this month when my buddy and I have a day off together.

 

My water pump began leaking, so did the radiator. The water pump was replaced under the lifetime warranty, but the radiator was not. The dealership also found both cylinder head cover gaskets to be leaking, so they replaced those under warranty, too.

So the cooling system is now refreshed and hopefully the oil consumption will drop off a bit. The old JK is ready for the next off road trip, which will likely be to the TN/NC/GA portion of the Appalachian Byway!

 

dmwill- how many miles are you up to now? I'm still racking miles up on mine and I know I likely need little bits of engine work done (gaskets, lower intake manifold, etc) but it's not leaking/ consuming enough to make me want to dive into it just yet. I also noticed quite a bit of slop in the pinion bearing so that's next on my list.
