    Saw myself in there for a moment or two as well. Yellow jeep on the right just passed the gate keeper. I was standing on the left.

    I've had my own nightmare stories with shops lifting Jeeps or even just basic maintenance going wrong. When I heard about you getting the JL lifted I wanted to say we could just do it in my garage like I did with mine but figured you'd just rather have it done.

    I once had a Jeep lift go for 3600 bucks and take about 3 months and had nothing but troubles after. If I wasn't a dummy I could have lifted my JL in a night but it took two evenings, no codes all fun. I won't let a shop touch my vehicles anymore unless its something like a tire rotation or a machine shop job.

    I'm going to throw out there that if you stack rocks, you should unstack them. I'm sick of people basically paving a road up these trails with rocks. Doing that is not treading lightly!

    I just spoke with the dealership shop and they said we’re dealing with a complex electrical issue where something is cutting the power to the fuel system and they can’t figure out why. So they’re getting Jeep engineers involved on Monday. He assured me they’ll get to the bottom of it, but electrical gremlins are the worst kind. And before I had the lift and winch installed there wasn’t one instance of electrical issues……. Hmmmmm

    So they have no idea what part of your wire harness they damaged while installing your winch?

    Sounds like someone at <shop> is a liar.

    The dealership didn’t install, the shop that installed sent me to dealership after checking things over and saying nothing they did could have caused my problem. I believe no one did anything intentionally but yes, I bet a wire harness or ground was damaged during the lift or winch install. I just hope they find it and fix it for me!

    Bad in Longmont. I wear a k95 mask if/when I go out. Yesterday's news said Denver's air is the worst in the WORLD.

    When I ran Pierson and Johnny on Friday the air was clearer along pk 2 pk than in Longmont.

    I agree, it's getting better as the day goes on. Just took the top and doors off, tube doors on and should leave in the next hour or so. Thanks again for posting this, Matt!

    Yes. GPS was set to record points at 0.1mi distance on the trail and 1.1mi distance on the highway.

    I left a couple track points from the highway on the track. This shows air-down time and air-up time. Trim as desired.

    Thank you, Jim. I just replaced my camera that had an issue with an identical one that the seller claimed had never been used, just opened. Turns out he was not lying, when I got home and plugged it in it automatically upgraded the firmware (about 2 years ago they stopped making the camera, I was really surprised it was available and the camera needed it) and I think it wiped my data from the run.
