    Decided to re-do all my wiring for the ditch lights. That included pulling all the connectors I used and then soldering them together and heat shrinking them. Downside, I just moved and couldn't find my extension cord, so I had to make do. Also tested out the free light bar I got. Going to try to mount it in the upper grill and get rid of the raptor lights.

    A little camping mod done. This mod serves two purposes, 1) I lost the remote and the light is super bright. Hoping it will dull it out. 2) I am hoping the red will keep the bugs away from my windows and not kill our night vision

    I did about 5 coats. It is a little more pink/white than I wanted, so hopefully it achieves the goal I want it to.

    I received a free 28" light bar and my plan is to try to squeeze it into the upper grill area. I didn't really want a white light so I decided to change it to yellow with Lamin-x. I ordered a 2"x30" strip and was able to cut it in half and use two strips to darken the yellow. The light bar has a remote and offers 3 output levels and a few different strobe settings.

    Got this light bar for free. Put a couple Lamin-x strips on it and tried to mount it in the upper grill. That was a no go, so I found this Rago Hidden Mount with the bar for a steal of the price. Didn't realize he was selling the lights with them as well. So I have to figure that out as well.

    We did a birthday run in Woodland Park, CO. We hit up Rampart Range Road, Hotel and Missouri Gulch and ended it in Mini Mob. It was definitely a fun and challenging run. I haven't hit dirt in soooo long, so it was nice to get out.

    Just got back from doing a 1k mile camping trip and noticed that my LCA was black when it should have been covered in mud. I also noticed the shock body was also black and looked to be covered in grease. I emailed Ironman yesterday(Sunday) and they got back to me today. They asked for pictures, which I provided and they immediately stated they would be sending me a new strut. No idea when or where the shock started leaking, but I can say the ride quality never diminished with the oil leaking. Basically this is what the email stated "we'll get a replacement strut (45710FE) sent your way soon! Your Foam Cell Pro should be fine driving on until you get it replaced... one of the benefits of having foam." I am pretty happy with Ironmans Customer Service. They were easy to deal with for sure.

    Cleaned it up a little bit for better pictures

    Playing a little catch up: Update on the Ironman FCP. I received the new strut in less than 5 days! Pretty impressed, now it is trying to find time to install it.

    In anticipation of my Trail Standard Offroad bumper coming in, I started wiring up the CaliRaisedLED Dual button switch OEM switch. Next step is wiring up the existing light bars so I can do a quick wire job when I get the 30" ExtremeLED X6s light bar.

    If you want to run the ExtremeLED x6s light bar, you will have to use the supplied TSO brackets. However due to the wiring the driver side bracket will not fit. I had to grind it down a good bit. The supplied ExtremeLED brackets will not work. I forgot to upload that picture but I will later.

    Rear Diff and T-case are finished. Running Amsoil in them. Weather hasn't been cooperating so it is hard to get it done.
