Finally put the bumper on!
I have a 12k lb. Engo Synthetic Winch on the way as well. Will post after mounting.
Also helped out a friend of mine last night and we put his new bumper on. It actually came with lights and D-rings which was pretty cool.

Made a shelf yesterday. Cut a 16"x62" pressure treated 3/4" board and marine grade carpet (rubber backing/waterproof).

I may add a steel rail or some eye hooks for cargo net/straps etc. Haven't figured out what I want to do just yet.

It's that time of year again and I managed to score some hail damage despite efforts to thwart it. Was only about $1300 this time around. Stuff was coming in about racquetball sized so was a bit heavier than a few years ago. The House shingles got it worse and so did the neighbor's cars. I covered mine up a bit so that saved me and it only got a few spots on one side of the vehicle. Garage belongs to my wife's car and my motorcycle so I have to tarp my jeep over with pads underneath when hail comes around. Luckily, I knew it was coming so I prepared for a night in.

Lifted the rear and front a bit so now I barely sqeeze into the garage.

Thought I 'd add a little "action shot" from one of my recent trips to Hidden Falls.

Also, I made these little hole plugs for the tailgate:

I noticed my wife was having some trouble getting in the Jeep a month ago (reaching for a grip that wasn't there) So I bought these:
At first I wasn't really into them (because I don't really need them). I have a 4" lift on 35" tires, but I'm 6 foot and still pretty spry for a big guy so I don't grab anything...I just hop in.
After putting them in though, they kinda grew on me. They are pretty sturdy and I like the red accent to match up where I have it elsewhere on the vehicle.Last edited by Free Booter; 01-05-2018 at 04:47 PM.

I bought these bags that mount to the "sport bar" inside the Jeep. The are made by Classic Accessories and called "Quad Gear" since they were designed for UTVs, but I think they are a perfect fit for my needs.
One is a rifle bag which is a perfect fit on the rear shelf. It also straps to the cage just fine, but I kinda like it there. It is exactly 53" long and has straps for the top and sides and will fit two rifles. I plan on using it for other things as well.
The other was a perfect fit to strap to my farm Jack that i bolted to the rollbar. More storage for all the stuff I like to bring!
You can see how it straps here:
