Ohhh nice. Did I miss a discussion about that bull bar setup you have? Can you point me to it, or tell us more?
What did you do to your jeep today?

Unfortunately I didn't document anything and I'm not so good at write ups since I have a tendency to just do it and forget to stop and take pics lol I will say that I did it correctly and cut the flimsy mounting tabs off and welded on 3in axle mounts to the middle bar. I then made brackets and mounted to the drop hitch mod that I had previously installed. it's rock solid.

So I ordered those bumper lights. What a hassle.
Sat in warehouse for 4 Days. No one contacted me. I had to call ups. Said they need me to provide additional information. A few transfers later and I’m told to fill out DOT papers and return it.
After I did that my tracking updated to broker feee unpaid. Jesus.
So another $25 later and it’s finally on it’s way.
Not recommended lol

that's really strange I just placed my order with them and they came about a week later. Never had issues with customs or anything like that either time I ordered. You're in the US correct?
Flew out to Vegas last week for the Mint 400. GF's brother sent me these pics the first night we're there. I have full coverage on both of them but only made a claim for the KJ. Still waiting to hear back from insurance co.
The XJ was lucky and only needed a replacement tail light so ordered one from Amazon for $30. Small dent on the top of the hatch about the size of a tennis ball but it's getting turned into a race truck so don't care about dents.
The KJ needs a new hood, plastic tray under the wipers, and has a couple dents in the body/roof. Some how the snorkel and windows came out undamaged. Have full coverage on both but only made a claim for the KJ yesterday when we got back. Still waiting to for the insurance company to call me back.

Yeah. I re read what I wrote and I don’t want to sound unappreciative because without your tip I would never have found these. I just wanted to say I ended up paying a bit more then I expected and went through some odd hoops
Hopefully no one else has to deal with the same.
Dude. ***** about jeeps man. Sorry to hear as well wtf

Thank goodness for full coverage! Glad no one got hurt, and that the Liberty only suffered minor damage. 6' to the left and that may have been a different story.
I've heard the Mint 400 is a great event, though I've never had the chance to go. Went to King of the hammers, was really cool.
That ***** a bit but could be worse.
Saw mine in the garage at home today. We just drove back from Scranton (wife's minivan) and had about 3-4" overnight but most of the roads were just wet. Wanted to take the KJ on this trip and could have used it driving around Troy, Albany and Saratoga Springs this weekend. Quite a bit of old snow piled up around there.
The Mint 400 was an absolute blast. Seeing the trophy trucks up close was so cool. They are ridiculous beasts. I went to checkout the Jeepspeed races and I honestly think you can build a competitive 1700 class Jeepspeed with a KJ.
I'm uploading some pics I took and will post the imgur album link when it's done.

I have a bunch of trees on my property and can't convince the property owner that his exterminator ***** and our trees are infested with carpenter ants. After almost getting hit by a falling branch, I only park my vehicles where there's no chance of trees hitting them: https://imgur.com/bs1aN
Yeah I'm definitely going to be cautious where I park. Messed up thing is we hired a guy to take the tree down like 3 weeks ago but we found out his license was revoked and ghosted us when we called him out on it. Luckily didn't give him a deposit or anything. The new tree guy is legit and actually getting a permit from the town otherwise it would have been down already.

A tree cutting license... I don't have one. I understand where and why they might be needed. Bummer about your Jeeps.
Don't park under oak trees, they drop their acorns when the sun comes up.

What about where you got it, brand name or something.
Chestnut trees too. They'll break a windshield and can cause what looks like hail damage. :favorites68:

Finally got it tinted 20s to match the rear glass. Looks great.
Got these finally. Worth the hassle
Thanks myke for the tip!

From what I was told is the original company was reputable but the owners passed away and this unrelated guy bought the business and ran it into the ground. The town revoked his contractors license or something of the sort but he obviously didn't tell anyone this. He only wanted to do the work on a weekend and that's what made us suspicious.
The new guy we hired is an actual arborist.
Sweet you got them! Luckily the tree missed my new smoked ones. I'm not normally a fan of smoked lights but these are like the perfect amount to look good when off and light enough to not reduce bulb brightness.

I'm not an arborist... just a tree-whacking firewood-creator.
