Put in the rear firewall and added some tabs on the roof to keep it from flopping around so much.

Just got back from EJS. What an amazing trip! I still love it and this was year 13 for me. I'm so glad that I have such awesome friends w/jeeps that I get to enjoy these times with. We're still busy surprising people with how capable our little rigs are... Heck I'm still surprised sometimes. Here are some random pics:

Another pic from green day of me testing the jeep's balance

My 15 y/o nephew driving the crack. He drove a lot of rusty nail until he accidentally gassed it and ran into a sharp rock with the passenger front tire. Blew a giant hole in the sidewall. He felt terrible and learned that every action can have consequences but luckily I have replacement certs at discount!

One from the trail leading up to green day. I always forget what it's called. We also ran lock jaw for the first time. I think I'm going that way from now on.

I must say I'm really happy with the last minute cage redesign in the back. I used these bars a TON to slide over rocks.

The bars couldn't save my taillights though. I need to build some new lights inside the cage.

Got my new km2 from discount today. Thank goodness for free replacement certificates! It's sooooo new it makes the other 3 almost offensive.

How old are the other ones? I made sure to get certs on my tires, rather buy a cert then a tire

I just had to check the first page of this thread lol mid-2011. They're really not in terrible shape. I'll never regret the certs, especially since I wheeled and dealed with discount and got them to include them for nearly free IIRC.
