The gull wings are from Front Runner South Africa and I built the window box the last two weekends.

Toured around Chickamauga Battlefield in north Georgia.
Did some Diode Dynamics SS3 flood back up lights. They have tinted covers on so maybe hard to see. Also added Diode Dynamics SS3 Fogs up front.
Just irritating the wildlife this morning.

Love that truck
If I could only get the Gladiator guys to wave back my life would be complete.

Off road at Windrock. Defeated by boulders+ruts on “moderate” trails: watched as folks driving side-by-sides designed for Imperial Storm Troopers got through. It was fun anyway. Aired back up with 12V compressor on center tap. I’ll rotate the batteries at home.
After looking around on the web and not seeing a good solution for a fire extinguisher mount for the suspension seats I made one. Attaches to the seat rails where they mount to the suspension base. Clears the door and gives enough room to still climb into the back. (dont mind the interior, still working on that...)

What scoop did you install ?
Before I jump online to order. Anyone have some good condition front bucket seat brackets with slides they wanna sell? It’s for my 1992 HZJ75.
Driving the dirt road to my house 2 days ago, a large pile of dirt had been pushed up in the center by the grader who was working to put a good crown on the road. This ridge was surely impacting my front diff sending clouds of dust and dirt up into the engine compartment. I heard a squealing noise which then quit and soon thereafter I lost my power steering. Evidently my tensioner pulley has been going bad for some time and it completely fell apart with all the ball bearings falling out of it.............. My ears aren't the best sometimes it's hard to tell where noise is coming from. It's good to know that what I thought may have been engine noise was actually a belt tensioner
pulley..... You would think you could get more than 33 years out of a belt tensioner pulley but I guess not.
I could not find this tensioner pulley on any of the diagrams on parts ouq or amiyama to get a part number. I searched for tensioner pulley for bj60 on Google. And found this one at my local advance Auto for 20 bucks. It works! Dayco #8909

Rob, if you are correct, my pulley is overdue by 4 years. (I changed the belt 1.5 years ago, and it was feeling fine back then, though).
Good to know what replacement would work..
But I found most bearings to be pretty standard stuff (the bearing in the power steering pump e.g is a common 6203).
Could the bearing probably be replaced separately ?

Yesterday I rolled some windows up and some windows down. It was a perfect afternoon in Austin.
If your old bearing is still in 1 piece then you can likely nock it out with a hammer and socket on the inner ring. Mine fell apart as in the ball bearings were gone and the inner and outer races were seperated with outer race firmly stuck in the pulley. I tried to use screwdriver and hammer, torch, etc.. It still would have been $5-9 for a new bearing and a longer drive to find a bearing assuming I could have gotten the old one out........................Another example of how the world has changed: labor is so expensive that people can set up a factory overseas and make new parts and then ship them around the world box and stock them cheaper than it would be for us to periodically clean and grease a bearing, or replace only the bearing. Welfare pays more than they could make doing the work in the west.

I had never seen the two versions of the “scooped hood” side by side and simply thought they were similar but clearly they are not.
Finished my lighting setup: Diode Dynamics Stage Series 50” light bar. She’s looking good.

Last pic at Windrock. Airing up with the hood closed melted the compressor’s fuse holder
