Not much progress on any of my projects but the jimmy got put to work on another rescue. I was on my way home from work tonight and seen this poor kid off the road and down the embankment. I stopped to see if I could help.



My neighbor also stopped to help. I hooked on to the front and my neighbor hooked his winch to the back. Through a combination of winching and me pulling we got him back up on the road with no damage.

Not sure if you've done BJs before on the purple Jimmy but im sure it was fun to grind out the rivets. We went through multiple drill bits since we didnt have the right ones at the time

This wasn't the first set I've replaced lol. I use an air chisel when replacing stock ones though!

Thanks Don. This was just a quick spray wash today. Planning on taking it out tomorrow and playing so didn't put a lot of effort into it today. I wax it 3-4 times a year to try and protect the paint some.
