Weather has been funky so I have been focused on getting the Jeep (Stubby) ready for this coming Desert Season. 1st thing that was costly after it's $4K visit to the shop was new tires, it desperately needed them ???

Next was to get rid of the old stereo, it didn't have Bluetooth. Nothing fancy, just a basic Kenwood 8) Added 2 new speakers to the soundbar as well :)

Other than a cup holder, there isn't an ideal spot for my phone so a rail system and a Ram Mount was ordered from good old Amazon ;D

Since Amazon is so easy, I ordered a Backpack for the spare tire and a Tow Strap, gotta start collecting Recovery Gear now, start with a basic strap ;)

So yesterday I'm out looking at my tires and I see a bolt laying on the axle housing :o

Threads were jacked up and upon further inspection I see the Track Bar isn't connected .....How does this even happen ??? ??? ::)

Easy fix, just got a new bolt, washer and nut and reinstalled everything 8)

I'm sure there will be more expenses, it's almost 30 years old but I'm up for the challenge :)

You have a Jeep and a boat. You'll be broke by the end of the year. hahaha
Good looking desert ride though!
Nice upgrades to it. My Volvo has absolutely drained my pockets with steering issues and I have another repair coming up on the horizon. Feeling the pain of $4000 repairs with you.
