What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

After washing mine from all that dirt, I somehow managed to get my first 2 pinstripes. Not sure how or where, maybe the night run.... Looks like they'll be able to be buffed out though!

By the way, I forgot to take pictures of all the infernos together.. I think there were 4 or 5 I saw over the weekend.

My god it's been used.
 
Got my 1 year maintenance checkup, prepping for Colorado road trip! T-minus 3 weeks. Going to Denver for 2 Cubs v Rockies games then into the mountains by Boulder for a couple of days.
 
Took the Scalpel to the trailhead....

Good ride despite the 95° temps and trying to break my arm.

It's mearly a flesh wound and it's nice seeing all the mountain bikers on this forum.
 
Finished installing the Frontrunner extended rack and modifying the expedition rails to work with it as well as moving the table and mount to the passenger side.





Rotated the tires, cleaned and lubed the front end and adjusted the rear track bar for the Icon overland springs.




Last but not least working on a new rear custom antenna but the damn thing keeps falling off!

Successfully tested our new off-road bike rack mod in the Sierra Mountains near Downieville. Even got up trails that turned around a lifted Jeep Rubicon without dragging the racks/bikes :)

Did you mod your Kuat? If so what did you do? Ordering mine this week. Thanks!

Yea, I didn't even come off the bike. One of those weird situations where you land a jump funny, rebound off the trail, and a broken off tree limb is waiting to joust you. My daughter doctored it up with a little mermaid bandaid on it today. [emoji23]

Tried an off-road trip to a forest area, the logging company had a BIG gate blocking the road. Came home and filled a bin instead. Not as much fun. It was kinda off-road.

Is that all you did the 2.5/1.5? If so what brand and can you post more pics?
If not what else did you do to give it that lifted stance?

Thanks

Hey there; the only suspension work is a 2.5 front / 1.5 rear spacer kit. Went with daystar.

The wheels are likely the culprit for playing tricks... the offset is -10 which essentially is a spacer, providing the flush-to-body look.
 
And it looks like she did a great job.

Bumpers and such

Dipshit rearends me at red light, insurance payment, and a call to Shrockworks for rear bumper, front bumper and full skids underneath. Took apart the back lift gate last night and got access to the metal from the back side and pushed out the dents. Not perfect and the small dents are still there but I called a couple of pointless dent repair places and they wanted 500-700$ to fix it... Still has some small dents and slight wobble but I found a solution... cover it up with a new bumper and tire carrier... paid for by said dipshit, perfect... gonna be a long 3 month wait though. A heads up for anyone wanting to repair that area, on the inside there is some kind of composite, carbon fiber looking material that basically backs up the metal on the bottom half of the lift gate so it makes it really hard to work the metal from the back side... you can get a big dent out but its pretty much impossible to work medium to small dents.
