    White Mountains Jeep Invasion 2024

    I was wondering if anyone else here was planning to go to the White Mountains Jeep Invasion this year? It's scheduled for Saturday, July 27 in New Hampshire on Mt Washington. I'm not sure what else they do there besides go up and down the mountain as I've never been to a Jeep Invasion before...

    They'll be stored inside the Jeep with some other basic recovery gear. They'll stay stored while daily driving. They're just there for the pics right now. The spray on bedliner on the bumper covers well, but it's pretty thin. Therefore I wanted to protect the bumper finish with the foam for when...

    I made some D-ring bumper pads from some dense closed cell foam I had laying around. I then used contact cement to stick the foam pads to the bumpers. While working around the rear bumper, I treated some rust on the rear frame horns and then coated it with spray on bed liner.

    I put the new rear bumper on, but it started pouring out before I could get pics. I'll take some tomorrow. Progress has been slow on the Jeep lately. Getting my house fixed up to put it on the market has been taking most of my free time lately.

    Looks like about 3-4" of stick out above the level of the roof.

    All good points to keep in mind. I'm going to add a roof rack at some point, so the height will probably end up being a moot point. Until then, I'll be keeping an eye on it. I won't be using the garage as I already only had about an inch of clearance between the roof and the garage door. As far...

    None that I can see. I checked clearance there when I placed the jack there and it seems fine. I'm more concerned about the jack hitting the back glass if the wind were to try to blow the gate shut while the glass is up.

    Got rid of the Bridgestone Dueler A/T's today. Picked up some Falken Wilderness AT4w tires in the stock 255/70-18 size. Pics aren't loading today for some reason. I'll try to upload them later.

    Ran keyed power to the rear camera. Then installed the swing gate table. While the rear panel was out, I swapped the power wires around so the USB port was on battery power and the 12v power port was on keyedpower. I did that because the power port has an internal led light that stays on...

    Today I started by removing the factory rock slider from the passenger side. Two out of the three larger bolts snapped off, so I. postponed installing that side until I get some center punches so I can drill out the broken bolts. After that, I went back to the wiring for the cargo area plugs...

    I put one of the running boards on between a break in the weather. I'll get the other side installed when it clears up.

    Drilled and tapped a couple holes into the inner fender to mount the keyed power fuse block. I ran the power and ground wires to the blocks. I left the fuses out of the power circuits so the fuse block in the cargo area isn't powered yet. I still need to get a fuse tap so I can run a keyed...

    With all that trimmed, everything sits like it should when it's back together. You can see the big power and ground cable between the panels, but it has clearance all the way to the fuse block. I may plastic weld a new bottom into the floor pocket I removed, but that's something for future me to...

    Lots of pics today. Started out by making a bracket to mount the rear fuse block. Just had to find some metal to make a bracket for it. Then fine tune the fit, clean it up and paint it with some truck bed liner spray. After that dried, I was going to rivet the bracket in place. My right...

    Slightly less well known than the Oscar-Meyer Weinermobile, it's the Bootmobile. Seen today on Main Street in Lewiston Maine.

    I sanded the bottom of the port adapter thingy so it would fit the contour of the panel better. I also flattened the bumps under the mounting area so the adapter would sit completely flush on the panel. Port adapter mounted... View from behind the panel. Next I mounted the power and...

    I got most of the parts today, but the weather isn't cooperating, so I'll start installing them tomorrow. (y)
