That's hilarious, but I'm sorry to hear it! There's not much worse than breaking a rattle can in your workspace.

Would love to see more pics. Especially how it's mounted to the frame.
Not that. I mean the battery tie down plate that attaches to J hook bolts.
She took a few branches to the dome from a rotten tree (not my tree). Shattered the windshield, scratches and dented several panels. The roof was covered in damage from branches landing between the crossbars, but thank god for the roof rack for taking a majority of the blow… Bit the bullet and giving her a complete refresher while in the shop.
Pulled the windshield, found the rivet holes had been wallowed out. Treated the rust, welded them up, and re-drilled.
Hopefully, she’ll be good as new in about a week.

Last pic was a before shot… didn’t mean to add if.
Its not much but i thought everybody would be proud that the license plate is not in a jeep owners hands.
Wanted to do wiring for ARB twin and Redarc 1225 bdcd, but my smarter side kicked in and decided to do the Heater Tees. Old plastic ones were leaking and brittle af. Probably only had under 3k miles before destroyed engine. Used 4 Breezy hose clamps and 2 traditional for the small diameter

Those mud flaps
Ya, where are these flaps from?
they’re the asap flaps from owl expedition
they’re the secret to running 35s and no cutting.
More carpet fitting and trimming.
Salvaged an old mat that was stained.
Will protect my new carpet hopefully.

The 3” NHK Series 5 bi-LED projectors came in this afternoon and I went right at it. A few days ago I also repainted the front grille and HL trims, got them buttoned up along with the HLs (glass lenses off) for tomorrow’s aiming, alignment and wiring session.
Also ordered new 4pcs OEM backside clips for the HL trims, the old ones disintegrated when I removed the trims, it was so brittle.

Replaced the rotten OEM muffler. +1 vote for the UPSW part:

Kind of missing the bro-dozer rumble, quiet as a mouse now. Not missing the exhaust fumes through the rear windows when open.

Replaced the rear lower control arms with Mevotech from Rockauto. At $50 each, I’m Ok if the bushings don’t last 300k miles. They are identical weight to the OEMs. The original bushings were cracked, but still pretty solid. I figured my offroad customization probably wasn’t the best.
The worse part was getting the rear bolt out on the passenger side. I think the ToughDog shocks are a bit bigger than OEM. After a fair amount of finagling I got it out, but put it in the easy way when reassembled.

Installed this doohickey shifter plater last night/this morning after ordering it while having a few too many beers one night. I'm not sure what brand it is or if there's just one person that makes it but I would give it a 4/10. I had a lot of trouble getting it to clip in on the left side and had to shave off a few spots on the tabs. The plate also doesn't sit securely and has some upward/downward play. You lose the glowing letters at night so it's any guess what gear you're in at night. The white lettering looks dull and dirty up close and the left side of the plate sits 1/4" higher than the right side so not sure if that is part of the design or what.
Install was a breeze aside from the fact that I accidentally ripped the wires out of the terminal end of the O/D switch on the shifter, so that was a good extra hour trying to solder back on.
Not a horrible part and would install it again to replace the messed up OEM one but would replace with a new OEM one if they came up for sale affordably.

It’s a wrap
Aiming, alignment and wiring done. 4x low beam 4x high beam.
No foreground or wall pics yet but all I can say is I am blown away with how NHK master-engineered these projectors. Every aspect of it from how bright, how wide, how defined the cutoff is truly a masterpiece. I’m a happy camper. Haven’t drove this thing for 2.5 months now and I just can’t wait!
Before and after:
Glass HL w blue lens quad bi-led projector.
Happy weekend everyone.

My truck came w/ high clearance exhaust and bro rumble. I couldn't get that corrected fast enough. I guess being in my 40s now things have changed for me but I like silent.
Love the black plate!
