03 Rubicon Next Phase

The Jeep gets used as a grocery or takeout food getter sometimes. With the back seat give, there wasn't a good way to carry anything. So I took a discarded lawn and three 19 x 13 crates from Amazon and built this. It uses two of the seatbelt attachment points, so it can be removed easily.

First trail of the day. I think most of the weight of the Jeep came down on it. Other than causing the gas gauge to read lower than actual it didn't cause any problems. Of course I thought it was emptier than it really was when I went to pick it up. :oops:
 
Driving to mine and my son's normal Sunday breakfast at the Waffle House and full blown death wobble happened. Once I got her stopped, I creeped along at about 30 to the restaurant. The steering was super sloppy. The trackbar bolt left the building. Big thanks to @DanStew who was grabbing breakfast for the trips to Lowe's for a temporary fix.

And for the nerds, you can see how the failure progressed through the bolt.

Wow, thats crazy!
 
As everyone knows, factory TJ reverse lights aren't very bright. I wanted to try a cheap, easy alternative. I found a LED bulb that fits in place of the standard bulb. I'm pretty pleased with the result.
