🛠️ What did you do to your Jeep 392 today?

[Got Pipe]

Not all today, but flew to so Cal, purchased way below MSRP. Drove home stopping in Vegas to buy Kirkland signature alcohol at Costco. Got window tint. And now just today picked up after ppf and ceramic on the whole thing.

Got a much needed alignment at my local shop as I have no more wheeling trips planned until the spring. Bringing it back in 2 weeks to get the underbody sprayed with fluid film. In the meantime to prep I’ll be sanding down and painting any rust spots underneath. This will be the first time getting fluid film. My shop’s owner tells me it going to smell pretty bad the first 2 weeks, but with a bad winter expected due to El Niño I want to make sure the underside is protected from all the brine.

The shop owner also noticed some grease slung around the alternator. Anyone seen this before? I’m going to bring it to the dealer to have them look at it.

Installed caster eccentrics today. Went from 2.5 degrees to 3.9 degrees. Wanted 4.5 but still noticed a big difference in the way it tracks on the HWY at 75. Much more stable.

Cool what did you torque those bolts to. What size and grade bolts did they give you. I put Rusty’s on the rear lower CA 9/16 grade 8 Zink plated SAE GRADE 8 washers. Is there any movement or rocking of the skid. Thanks in advance.

I added the Gorillas last week, I forgot to switch them out from my TRX before I traded it in.

Yesterday I tried to install the Rusty’s engine skid plate but ran into issues so I ran up to the Jeep shop and they installed them. Turned out good.

That's funny. I switched my TRX's onto the jeep and put some that had a slightly wider base back onto the TRX. Helped cover some of the unpainted wheel.

Installed some Royal Hooks anodized hood hinges.

I installed my smittybilt x2o winch instead of going to work. It was way more fun than work. I was m/effing the passenger inside lower bumper bolt though.
Artec industries builds a damn nice winch mount plate though.

Third time I've touched this winch, installed and removed from the 4xe and installd here. I modified the wincheroo plate supports and installed the Oracle lighting skid plate but sands 2 pods on either end to fit. That's OK with me cause I have 2 spares now for when I bust one...
