    You got me motivated to see if it would still fit. Surprised I even got that much to work with the dual swingout.

    Should do the same thing on the other side.

    Some now rusty metal.

    Also, you still have some extra conical lugs lying around?

    There a wheel stud on the bottom and one on the main beam that holds the hi lift in. Edited that last post as I'm not done with the gas can mount yet.


    Just regular spindled lug nuts? I have a bunch.

    What dates are you going to be in Utah? Austin and I leave in a few hours until Tuesday but I might be back there on the 12th. Not sure if I'll be climbing then or showing my roommate and his turd of an XJ around the slickrock.

    Bumber looks great! Where did you get those latches? I need find something better than what the Wildernest came with. Occasionally they pop open.

    5th-14th. We're going to be all over the place and end up in AZ by the time you're back there. No Moab on this trip.

    McMaster. They're 2,000lb pull action toggle clamps.

    :spy: Wait for the trip report, Jason! :p


    I even bought LightRoom, which I have no idea how to use, to go along with my camera, that I also have no idea how to use, in an attempt to make a good trip report.
