Might have mentioned this before, but I found those 10 pack leaf springs to be a detriment for serious 4-wheeling as they restricted axle articulation too much IMO. I ended up having a local spring shop build me new ones that flexed better. Depends on the 'wheeling environment you play in.

25% off Harbor Freight coupon is pretty good 🙂

 Was this the manager special coupon? I would think badlands is in the excluded list.

I love the looks of the 3Bs

I always dreamed of having a fleet of Mitshibishi diesel ones, they seem to be cheap on the market but  if alot of parts around. I have a feeling they are better actually(more dependable)

I built a shift cover, I don't remember how long it hasn't had one but I don't really remember it having one lol. 
Was a fun aluminum project, pretty happy with how it turned out. 
Really helps keep the heat and noise down... weird.

then I drove the Jeep to whidbey island for a get together with some old friends. 
Fully shook down at this point and I am pretty pleased to be able to just jump in it and drive again.

Bought some gauges so I can keep an eye on the temps and oil pressure. 
I have a new bezel and new glass on the way for the speedo, will fix the blown fuse for the temp and fuel gauge when I pull that one out.
