Yep, that's the one! I ran my own wire instead of stealing the one from the brake light.

Can't wait to get out again this weekend!
Thanks! We really are enjoying being out here, we've put more trail miles on this JKU in a few months than we did on our JK in 2+ years down in Texas.
In other news, my new skids are sitting in my dining room waiting on me to install them!

Which skids did you go with? I forgot if you had mentioned them already.

I ended up letting it go, we really want something that is single action to get into the gate. Like the new EVO or CC body mounted carriers.
What days are y'all gonna be around?

I'm not entirely sure if you need the crossmemeber skid, because you will just have to remove it WHEN you install your long arm anyway
Evo has a new crossmember skid that works with their long arms

Got it. I can't find them ANYWHERE now. I know they closed their doors last year with the hopes to re-open, but I've been thinking about putting the spare back on my Jeep and it would be nice to get another Or-Fab since all of the hard work (drilling) has been done. I have also been eyeing the CC carrier. I'm really high on their stuff (have the front and rear bumpers).

Got the EVO oil pan skid installed today, and went ahead with an oil change today. 48174 miles on this puppy, first time changing the oil on this one since we've had it
I'll get the transmission skid done tomorrow, hopefully.
Picked up a bikini top, just need to figure out hardtop storage or hoist.

You should change the tcase and tranny fluid before putting that skid on, if you haven't already.

I'm thinking about it, but haven't committed to it yet. The fluids were all just changed when we bought it, right under 4k miles ago. I might do it anyway, just to start the clock on it myself, need to do the same thing for the differentials.
On the plus side, I successfully unpacked and installed an EVO packaged product without letting a single packing peanut out into the wild :rock:

Haha, love packing peanuts, always use them to replenish my dogs poof! If the fluids were changed 4K miles ago I wouldn't worry about it. The manual says every 30k I believe.

Is considerng building myself a rack about the same height as the jeep so i can just kinda walk it back onto it .. since hoist is out ... but if ya got a tree handy and a sturdy enough limb wouldnt be hard to put something together to use as a hoist
