Austin’s Jeep JLU - “The Billet Bullitt”

Until the genius in his lowered Honda civic tries to cut down the low road and hi-centers on a boulder. Or when the 26 passenger tour bus tried to cut that way during blue-cut. Too bad we can't remove those routes from WAZE and Google maps.

Yes. We are certainly outnumbered by morons no matter which road we choose.
 
We use those particular fire roads frequently to avoid traffic in the pass. It's amazing the variety of vehicles you see trying to make it down Sheep Canyon to Swarthout Canyon. The lowered Honda and tour bus examples are only a couple of examples of the vehicles we've seen stuck on the low road. Makes you really shake your head and wonder what the driver was thinking.

I’m hoping that’s part of the reason Sheep Canyon has been kept closed. The other roads seem to be less tempting for the uninitiated.
 
Another successful Sunday funday.

Went and got a set of 37” Milestar Patagonia MT tires mounted up on Friday and took the fam out today for some snow/mud wheelin’. It was a lot of fun. Didn’t even stop for pictures. Here’s a couple of the Jeep after I rinsed her off.

Here’s a couple close ones of the tires. They came highly recommended from some people I wheel with so I figured I’d try them out.

Picked up a 67 designs mount for the JL. Simple install and great function. This thing is genius.

I picked up a small utility trailer to pull behind the Jeep a few weeks back. Well yesterday I finally put it to use and went and snagged a half cord of wood. All that work meant a pit stop for a couple cheeseburgers with my copilot. Jeep pulled the trailer just fine and I can’t wait to see how she does once I re gear it.

With the current availability of aftermarket bumpers being limited and my desire to protect the Jeep better, I placed an order for new bumpers from Rock Hard. I should have them by Friday and am looking forward to installing them.

Finished up a little weekend project before EJS.
Replaced all the steering components with the Steer Smarts Yeti XD and added a Tuffy tailgate lock box.

Also recently upgraded my axles with RCV shafts up front, 4.56 and dual ARB lockers and Spicer diff covers. Added a ARB dual compressor and Innovative JK Products air system.

Late trip post:

Took the fam and the Jeep to calico to shake everything out before our big road trip. Everything worked great and we couldn’t be happier to have a Jeep that can take on just about any trail now
