Then we decided to try and tackle his shitty bumper we all hate :cheesy:

Then we ran into a problem. Couldn't get the LAST BOLT off and I couldn't find my sawzaw :grayno:

So we threw one of the bolts back in so he could drive home

Got home and raced daylight to try to get it off.

Squeezed in to be able to take the nut off with two box wrenches, then ran into a new problem.

The bolt holding the bumper on the frame horn was holding the bolt in

Smacked the hell out of the bolt to bend it, then set the angle right, and smacked it into the bumper with a BFH.

Crash looks so much better and im so happy with the direction hes going

I put the rear seat back in now that theres headroom without the trektop, put my tool kit back in and got him cleaned up for the 8in of snow we're supposed to get tomorrow [emoji849]

Going to look into getting a spare and a new line for my winch since mine is all tangled and 20ft of the 50ft line is only usable

Bumper looks great with the bars off. Like the top too. I like the look of the NX but seems to lose a lot of space, especially on a 2 door.

Sending the snow your way - we have bout 2" already here on the West Coast....

Jeep is looking good. I like the build so far. That bumper looks way better now.

Thanks guys, I'm finally getting to a place where I'm happy with him, the more weight i put in the back, the better he rides. So yesterday i put my back seat back in and my tool chest i usually have in him back in the back.

Im purchasing some 3" plushrides from mitrig along with some JKS discos so that will be nice eventually, i just need to buy a DL flip kit and some adjustable lowers and i think he will ride much better. Then im torn whether to upgrade to kings, or regear and lock. Most likely will regear and lock, just have to come up with the $3-3,500 for the regear, ARB locker, 35 spline shafts, and ARB twin. The wife is NOT going to be happy lol

Looks great [emoji106].. came a long way since you ran across it at the dealer. Looking forward to how much better the ride is with the lcas and drag link flip. I would do the regear and lock for sure.
