Put a new front bumper on dad's jeep for some deer protection
ARB , Australian Roo bumper.  Roo short for kangaroo. 😉
Heavy,  the neighbor and I got it mounted. 
Went for some thin LED light bar's,  amber and white .
Wiring is easy.  Switches already there are pigtails near the battery to wire up light's.
Also bought a slightly used Warn 8,000 winch with cover.
Had some 3/4" spacers put on the front springs for the extra weight. Can't wait to go to Moab again.
Took my cousins out for a trail.  Hers is the blue jeep.  She's getting my old plastic bumper for a upgrade to hers.

Looking good Rattiac.
I think i need a Jeep too.
I heard a nice one turning at an intersection in the
summer, a six cylinder, driver rowing through the
gears. It did sound soo good!

If you have a chance,  go rent one from 2019 and up . Mine is the 2.0turbo with a 8-speed auto. This thing is fast and sips fuel.
I know I just swapped in a 200-4r in the 32 but now I want the 8-speed.  According to specs parasitic loss is minimal now and can be adapted to carb vehicles. 
I'll see if I can find the video.
