How you
Liking that axiom mount?
That was all I could find besides the ARB $$$$$ winch bumper. It works great and hides the winch well. Starting to show some rust spots, their powder coating is a little thin. The install required me to buy some new tools (angle grinder) and cut out parts of the bumper.
About a 5 for me - is much easier if you have a hoist, a press, and all the right tools. Plus I am a technician by trade.
welp... my jeep is doing jeep things.
for a little while now i've had what I've suspected was an exhaust leak tick from the manifold. haven't bothered to investigate it.
today we did the 100 mile round trip for the kid to go shoot (Camp Perry practice), and on the way back she popped a CEL.
then as we continued to drive home, she started to sound louder and louder, to now it sounds like a strangled dump truck.
something tells me i'm about to dump some money into repair parts. let's hope it's simple bolt on shit and not an exhaust manifold.

I had to go find out; plugged in my cheap HF scanner. P0430 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2), which makes sense if there's a leak. What doesn't make sense is the sound seems to be coming from the driver's side. that's Bank 1 from what I'm seeing.
so the exhaust is/was toast.
multiple holes in the tail pipe.
muffler has split at a seam and rotted.
was about to order parts, when I remembered I have a parts jeep
muffler and tail pipe are good on it, but it was a chore getting it off and on since the tail pipe is now stuck on the muffler. it's done though.

I have now made it to the gym three times in a row without needing a tow. Funny how much the little things can mean to you when you didn't have them for a while.

I’m going to have to do a spare tire mount delete soon, as there are chunks falling when I close the gate. It wants to self delete, it seems.

Sounds like you need a new spare tire mount rear steel bumper with an arb front and winch with 4 inches of lift.

I need that too. I just can't afford it.

Just got done rotating the tires. It is a nice day but it seemed to get a lot warmer as I went along.

Had my transmission pan and filter changed yesterday.
Pan had developed a small weep hole on the leading edge.
And it just recently rolled over 120,000kms.
It had 59,000kms when I traded my 07 Dakota for it in 2012.

If you’ll volunteer to fix the rest of the rust, you’ve got it!
I have been on here for a long time but have yet to see where it is explained why everyone wants Moabs...what am I missing?

They are a bit heavier,wider to better fit a wider tire and more offset which puts the tire about even with the outer edge of the flare without using spacers. Oh and they look cool!

They're a good wheel, a good fit for the liberty, good looking, and can often be had at a good price.

After a recent off roading trip at Moonrocks (Reno, NV) and having the front left tire partially debead and getting sand in the sealing surface I could not get it to reinflate past 21psi. Got back home and the next day broke the outer bead off, blew out the sand and reseat the bead. I am looking at the Method Beadgrip wheels and a set of 235/75-17 tires. Gong to be around a $2000. upgrade to hopefully not have a similar issue out wheeling.
