What was done to your rig this week?

Drew was kind enough to leave his mark on the Jeep. It's always the little things that get me the most....

Bought a Hard rock bumper today from a lady on Facebook. Originally would have been $1400. I got it for $150! Basically brand new she just didn't like it as much as her new bumper. I'm pumped. This is what it was on hersIMG_6398.JPGATTACH]266278[/ATTACH]


2009 JK sunset orange, inner tub line-X'd, 35's, Cage type roof rack, bed lined inner hard top, 12k winch, Tepui RTT, and other overpriced pieces of jeep stuff

Good bumper enjoy it.
Don't forget to take off the ends while on the trail otherwise it will be rubbing.

That's the plan, it seems really nice, and for only $150?? Crazy

It'll be on my Sunset 2 door IMG_0924.jpg

Finally got around to installing a new Rancho steering stabilizer to replace the OEM I crushed in Big Bear. Nice that it's up higher now. Steering is a lot better! Didn't realize how bad it was.

Long story short, I now have running water on the trail.
Now I can hose the dust off the rear window, get the mud out of the radiator, or even a quick shower for the passengers, mainly the dogs when they get muddy.
Hmm, maybe a mister when the top is off?

Fittings on the front and rear bumper

Small pump for now, cant argue with free.

Rear bumper tank for now, will need a proper tank when this gets upgraded.

Nice! Can you also put the end of the hose in a creek and pull from that?

It certainly was an option that I considered, but i ended up shooting for simple. The take-up tube is easily accessed, so it wouldn't be hard to do that. If this rig becomes an Overland vehicle, I can easily add filtration and some valves to fit different needs. Of course, by then i will have upgraded the pump and installed a proper water tank. TheRoadChoseMe guy did a pretty neat water system, but I cant find a tank that will fit that location.

I can fit almost 8 gallons in the stock rear bumper.
