Not bad , my 04 I swapped out the first set of OE rotors/pads at 102,000 miles and Id say had another 12-15000 on them, but had it tore down, had spare parts so replaced them.
Good job

Never thought of the stone pile
We just got 28 Tri axle dump truck loads of of 57s ( limestone ) in last month ( about 450 ton I think it was )
Had to use the dozer to pile it up , I had the Honda side by side about half way up till I scared the old guy that was with me LOL

I ended up finding an open box Apollo for 100$. Returned the exact same item they nicked me around 200 for. Got it easily installed on the Jeep. Mating it to the snorkel proved a challenge due to 3mm difference in the O.D. of the f.lange... Of course, it is a cast aluminum part and I sold my lathe years ago. Going to have to get creative with the angle grinder and a cordless drill.

Yes, unless the adjustment motors are damaged. My mirror looked like this after a moose kicked it. I thought the jeep was going to the junkyard and I was going to the hospital. Only cost $40.00 for the mirror glass mounted to a backing plate, snapped right in.

Woke up to a very pleasant surprise. My used gas tank armor was delivered from DeadJeep. It is in incredible shape. I was expecting scratches and dings. It was only 129$!

Looks good! That will make you a little more desert-proof.

Mine isn’t installed yet because I need decent weather to paint it first.

Yeah, was gonna bust that rust, but too chilly and windy today. Supposed to be 15C tomorrow so we’ll see. Got some clean up to do underneath to before mounting. Wish I could find the long plate..

Long plate ???
You mean transmission skid ?
Then also transfer case skid
Yep. Looking for both.

Edit: to clarify- got the engine plate. The little angle plates are readily available, but that long trans skid has eluded me.

If you ever come across something decent you don't need, drop me a link and I will go buy it.
