Installed LoD Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier.
Went to wire rear lights last weekend and discovered wiring is pinched between bumper and frame rails. Have to pull the bumper off to get to the wiring and fix it since it's surely torn.
Was sooo careful to get the allignment perfect and totally forgot that wiring was under there.

I did the same thing with mine. They were tight, but not torqued. went about 4 miles, made a u turn to get to the tire shop, turned in teh tire shop and the front driver wheel came off. the brakes landed on the wheel and i amde about 2 more revolutions before I realized what exactly ahppened. Peeled two nice "twist of pintlers" for a large martini. luckily, no damage and i was very lucky. That will enver ahppen again!!!

Put a new water pump on the Jeep, while it was apart thought it was the perfect time to replace the one belt that runs everything. Putting it back together got the old and new belt, put them together made sure its the same size width and enerything match. Finished up adding antifreeze and noitced the NEW belt laying by the Jeep.
