Baystate Jeepers

nice! I was looking into getting that tire carrier.... But you had to drop the fuel tank?! really?!

To access a few of the mounting bolts, dropping the tank would have been required. Unsure if the aftermarket skid prevented access, or if that's a normal procedure for all TJs.

No worries, Im sure there will be other occasions.

No problem, one thing I do tend to forget is to take pics during builds of things. I always seem to remember at the end that it should have happened lol.

yup def a small pain, but it looks good on the jeep, works fairly well empty, I can report back once it has a tire on it and is fully mounted and greased. As for the fuel tank drop I should know more in the near future on that once we can actually put those in and see how much room is needed.

Looks like a lot got done. I was hoping to stop by after picking up my jeep and see what you had going on but took longer than expected.

Well the Jeep is still there and odds are there will still be work happening so I can certainly let you know when I am heading up there to work on it again. I know ill be up there on Sat but not sure how much work will get done vs planning happening so that parts can be ordered.
