It was a really good run although as a newbie run I personall thought it was a little rough but still had plenty of fun.

We ran issabelle till just past the bridge then came back down and some had to leave as it was almost 1:pm, we then went up stair step where we found the only way to get a stock rubicon stuck (high centered on the top step) then ran poop shoot and up cable trail.

Here is the after effects your looking forward too,

And yet another new jeep begins its journey down the path of destruction.

I would personally call it finding the new style`s week points that need upgrading or fixing.

But it least we still have a 5 year warranty :fawkdancesmiley:
 
Hey Kat we have matching belly pans.:haha::haha::haha:

I think the bumper was my fault when you winched me up that step. Sorry!

It was fun though:redneck:.

Unless you live down a gravel road, or let it get rained on, or let the sun shine on it.....:wtf:

Trust us, don't fool yourself into think the dealer will help you in any way,
I still have 3 years or 20,000 miles left on my warranty, they wouldn't even fix a wiring problem in the thing when it had never even been off a paved road, I know they will do nothing for me now...:rolleyes:
Good thing I am a cheap a$$ and stole this from them, they don't even remember what I look like!:fawkdancesmiley:
 
The rear bumper had been loose sence we ran 4w307, 4w309, 4w330, Mantanash ridge trails 3 weeks ago, You helped finish it off.
 
Time for a winch and recover gear. You need a tree strap, tug strap, snatch block, and two or three shackles/d-rings/clevises/whatever. Get a high lift. Wait... You have a winch. Mount it on the front bumper (see below).

And rear tow points. I don't think it actually has any, WTF?

And I would highly recommend shying away from POS store bought bolt on bumpers. Have crashfab or similar build you a set of FUNCTIONAL bumpers. I would also lose the front "tow points" (hooks are not trail rated) in favor of real ones on the real bumper.

Move the license plate. Having it sticking out past the side on a plastic thingy is goofy.

Lose the tail lights in favor of something like 2pwrlftrs suggested. Do not however, put diamond plate on your Jeep. Evar.

Get a bikini top and leave the doors at home next time.

^ x2


and if you are having a bumper fabbed, while you are at it, have it converted into an air tank.... sweet when refilling the tires.

and dont put too much faith in that having the bikini top will always be a good thing, you can still snag em. so just be forewarned... i have a few one thats for street driving (so long ago i cant recall) and one for trails, but i wind up tossing it in the backseat everytime i wheel anyways.

We had all that, just did not get it out but the front winch is on the way after getting new bumpers.

We have the hitch clevis pull thingie but we puller it out for the rear winch, the factory does not have any. :fawkdancesmiley:ers

The front ones ARE temp. till a new front bumper is done. speeking of bumpers we have been seriousilly considering the Warn Rock crawler front and rear bumpers.

The bikini top was at home and not packed, We still have yet to remove the doors at all.

Hmmmmmm maybe Crashfab shop will see this post and offer His services and try his first 07 JK bumpers.:awesomework:
