[Comanche Scott]

Your build is looking really good! :beer:

How do you plan to store the fuel siphon hose?

Right now because it is unused its in my storage drawers. After use I'll put it up in the storage basket on the roof until I figure out a better solution.

How do you like the AEV tire carrier with your stock bumper? I'm thinking of doing the same thing when I get my Hard Rock. I was originally looking at the LoD rear bumper, but this may make more sense.

So far the 10th anniversary bumper with the AEV tire carrier has been a great combo. It came with a hole for the AEV tire carrier - so if you are planning to do the install yourself that's a definite plus. I do not think the stock JK bumper comes that way. If my Jeep hadn't come with the 10th anniversary bumper I would have probably gone with the AEV bumper.

Springtail Solutions MPAC tailgate table

I installed my Springtail Solutions MPAC tailgate table today. Whole thing took about 20 minutes. The table is rock solid and fits perfectly even with my ARB drawers and factory subwoofer. The table has Molle attachment points and the combo came with two bags. Even better - no rattles!
Parts

Assembly of the table took about 15 minutes

Installation took 5 minutes.

I ended up moving mine about an inch or so to the left. I didn't like how it didn't sit flat on the tail gate. Seems like they would have updated the design by now? Hey, I didn't get any stickers either! haha

Dammit! I didn't notice that before. I'm either going to have to pop in some rivnuts and move it or seek therapy to convince me that it's ok. Rivnuts are cheaper.

I ended up drilling a couple extra mounting holes in mine to make it line up with the vents those little plastic anchors go into. I think you can see the holes in my build thread?

Shower progress

I further upgraded the shower today. Went from a 1 gpm pump to a 3 gpm pump which should give me a little more pressure. I also went from a 1/4" ID pickup tube to 3/8" ID pickup tube and 1/2" ID hoses. Finally, I upgraded the quick connect fittings and grommets to finish it off. Next up is to cut up some old wetsuits to sew together an insulating cover. Warm post surf showers are around the corner.

Finally off pavement!

Hit the desert for a quick off-road getaway this weekend. Jeep handled great.

Love the progress man! Great looking Jeep. I'm going a similar direction with mine...2.5" w/ 35" KO's

Let me know if you still have that Anvil trail rack and what you want for it. Might have a need for one myself

 

[Johnnyenglish]

Thanks Rippin AV. I was able to sell the trail rack here locally. PM if you have questions on lifts. I spent a lot of time researching and going back and forth on brand, lift height and tire combos.

That's awesome! :beer:
Where about where you?
I'll be out in the Mojave in another week. Definitely looking forward to the trip.
Hoping there will still be some bloom going on.

 

[Johnnyenglish]

I was out near Ocotillo. I'm trying to figure out a weekend trip for this upcoming weekend. I can't decide whether to use one of the last remaining chances to head to the desert before it gets too hot or to head up 395 to the eastern Sierra.

 

[Comanche Scott]

How was the cactus bloom when you were out?
So much to explore, and so few weekends to make that happen...
I'm looking forward to getting up into the higher Sierras this summer.

Pretty good. A lot of green out there still.
