This might be an interesting thread. Since this is a down time for most Wheeling Events by our Club. Down grades like rock bashing can be used for another thread. That is if anyone is interested.

Finished installing upper control arms on my JK Rubicon.
As now I added adjustable control arms to the front end and rear lowers. Still waiting for cash and time for the rear upper adjustable control arms. this sill make it easier for moving form a 3in lift to a higher lift later on.

I don't know if this is an upgrade, probably not, H1 to an '85 Bronco II. shocked
I didn't think so either, but I still have the H1.
The Bronco II was stock when I got it, just a cool paint job on it and the back was cut down (chopped).
I have since then lifted the body 2" and added 4" Rough Country Suspension lift,
36X12.5" tires, steering stabilizer, stainless steel brake lines and two club stickers. Next will be the axles.

Modifying is an up grade Wade. Damage is a process in modification. Is the tree branch still attached or was that just a temporary Modification?

LOL it is not attached. So I guess it was semi-temporary. There is evidence of its past presence. But since I ripped it off the tree and threw it in the canyon I think it will have a limited life.

Hey Mudman
Even the small ones count, by small I don't think adding air to your tires count,what the heck.
give it a shot anyway. I thought that I had posted a response to the hood Modification. must of not hit the submit button. flushed out the gear box fluid and transfer case, should of flushed a bit sooner, looked a bit dark. looks better now shifts likes before.
If I don't get back on the trail sooner I'll have a mod on my brakes (cleaning off the rust)
Wade hows the hood coming along?

Maintenance time.
Flushed out the Transfer case and gear box, oh yeah and put new fluid in it. looked like it needed a flush job with 30K on the Jeep I thought it would look cleaned. Well it looks better now. Now its time to use My Rig again its been sitting to long along with the driver. Had a great ThanksGiving this year. plenty of turkeys around.

Here's my next upgrade. Done bought em.

Yukon front 4340 Chrome-Moly axle kit for Dana Spicer 30 ('84-'90 XJ, '97 and newer TJ, '87 and newer Wrangler) with 27 splines. Yukon 4340 Chrome-Moly axles provide up to 50% increased strength over stock axles for use in extreme performance applications with large tires and high horsepower. Yukon’s 4340 axles are manufactured using the latest technologies and the highest quality materials to ensure high strength and long life. This kit comes with inner & outer axles for both left and right sides along with Yukon SuperJoints. Limited Lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects and axle breakage for as long as you own the vehicle. This warranty is not transferable to another party. “No Questions Asked” replacement for first warranty return, however Yukon reserves the right to either replace axle or refund original purchase price after the first warranty claim. Yukon (through Randy’s Ring & Pinion) makes final determination on warranty considerations.

Also:
New wheel bearings (both sides)

Now maybe my axles will hold up to those massive tires.

New upgrades
installed 4.88 gears front n rear, replaced front Axels to a PCV life time replacement ( how long the lifetime warranty is always up to debate) , installed an inner tube for the front axel tube not a wimmpy dana 30 for the front any longer. Finished up with installing my tire carrier, no more high lift jack bouncing around in the back of the jeep. and might help me from crunching my tail gate again.
