What was done to your JK this week?

I hope you don't plan on carrying anything heavy up there... Those gutters on the freedom panels and most definitely that little ridge in the seams of the HT aren't meant to carry any weight. If you don't want the crazy cargo racks Rhino rack makes a solid 2dr system that can actually carry a load and doesn't affect how the hardtop comes off
For me the Rhino Rack Back Bone was worth the price.

While the wife is out of town, played with the Willys . She wanted a winch mounted up front so -
installed stubby OEM bumper with Hard Rock winch plate
mounted a waterproof 10K synthetic rope winch (Smittybilt)
installed Rough Country skid plates
replaced stock headlights and fog lights with LED lights (those darn things were bright enough to adjust in broad daylight)
Do know, I'm not a wrench by any stretch of the imagination. I had acquired all this stuff figuring to pay for the installation. But with the queen gone, thought I'd give it a shot. Not too shabby for an old guy still in physical therapy for a shoulder replacement . . .

Replaced my spark plugs, man what a PITA it is. Here's what 91k miles looks like on spark plugs, Next on the list is to replace pesky oil pump which is causing code P06DD to be triggered.
