You forgot your sway bar cover.

I got some drinks and a bottle of Whiskey from Full Throttle Saloon to ease the pain.

My fender rust repair didn't hold up because I used some really old stuff (J-B Weld steel stick) I had in my toolbox. I removed it, cleaned and rust proofed the exposed metal and tried again with some new J-B Weld KwikWeld. This stuff worked great. Sanded it down, painted it and put my "tool holder" back on. Looks like new.

How did you even know there was rust developing under there?
Where's Michael and Angie?

Wishing you well.
I went to Rapid City, SD over the holiday weekend with my brother. I didn't get much time offroading but there are lots of trails there. We found one mid level trail and a guy took his 2 door JK off road with us for the first time. My Jeep handled good in the hills and roads of the parks. I think I averaged around 15-16 mpg which surprised me.

As normal, most of my damage was onroad. A black truck got off I-90 a little in the 30-40 headwinds going there and tossed a big rock.

My speedometer and cruise stopped working 40 miles from home. I'll check the hall sensor on the SSSYE. The odometer stopped advancing too because no speed registers so I could have a permanent 85,000 miles if I want.
Overall, good trip.
My 3 seater project is almost done. Just waiting on the paint on the harness bar to dry.
Now I have to figure out how i'm going to fit a cooler and my recovery gear in.

Who is going to sit there? Your child? This steel bar right in front of the seat is a certain death trap.![]()
I'm wanting to drill holes in the frame in order to allow water to drain out and to prevent rust. Are these the best 2 spots?

That's where I drilled mine.
How big of a hole? I'm thinking somewhere in the 3/8 to 1/2 range.
