    Lift kit

    fender flares

    Here are some pics of a flat fender that I fabbed up a couple years ago. I used 1" round tube steel, 16 gauge sheet, and a harbor freight pipe bender. They did offer a small amount of extra clearance, I like the different look (compared to stock), once I undercoated the wheel well, and now I...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Mocked up location for 2 wheel well tool boxes, relocated gas can mounts from rear to front, adding basket to trailer top (still opens with strut assist or as an addition to shoulder workout, without struts). The 24 gallon freshwater tank has been a removable option since last elk season...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Finished the 3-axis trailer coupler, cut off the 2" ball coupler, and fabbed a hitch receiver on the trailer tongue this weekend. Put the new 4.10's in and the Powertrax No-slip locker for the rear. Found a very generous shop owner here in Bend to let me help with the tear down and install...

    Paracord Jeep Liberty Handles

    Nice job...I did the same (plus the inside door handles and steering wheel) in a cobra braid last year. I like the look, it's durable and if you want to change color, you just rewrap.

    Started fabricating a 3-axis trailer coupler that I found online. The author is the same gentleman I found when building my roof rack basket.

    I replaced my reverse lamps last February with 200 lumen LED's, from Ebay for $9.99 w/shipping, and they work great (even with the tinted windows). It's like having 2 flashlights shining out the back.

    Finally added the spare tire extender, so now I can close the rear glass separately from the door with the 255/75/17 BFG hanging off the back. Also, ordered a Thrush welded muffler after finding the tell-tale soot marking of an exhaust leak in the muffler.
