Have the KCs. I think highlights with the metal housing.

When I got this jeep and started this thread almost 3 years ago, I knew between kids and work, I’d never be on the trail every week, let alone once a month. The overall goal was to build something I could feel safe and comfortable driving the kids in around town, and when I could get to the trail, having the right build.

Gotta say, today was some pretty damm good validation.

230 hwy miles round trip
70mph one hand on the wheel
Kid in the back brought a blanket because the A/C gets too cold.
Got to meet some internet friends in real life.

thanks!.... @Crystal@Bestop while I've got you though...super frustrating that the Bestop Instatrunk I bought new in May 2023 does not fit with my new Bestop rear seat, and that its not documented on either product page.

You're welcome! As soon as I saw your comment, I realized that the product pages for both our Instatrunk and our Rear Seats do not mention that they're not compatible together, I am working on getting a note that clears that up. I am so sorry about that 😞

Spring updates:

Finally found the rear warn hitch bumper without tire carrier in restorable condition. I opted not to drill the inner cross member hole since they would have been very close to the previous holes from the hitch. I did install the frame tie ins. Should be fine for my bike rack and cargo carrier.

Got my first (and probably only) Savvy part to go with the new recovery points.

New RMS and Oilpan gasket
Bleed the brakes
New rear trackbar & alignment.
