I stared at my Jeep all afternoon while making a cabinet for my wife. Does that count?

I think it does count.....as long as you were dreaming of what is next for your jeep!!!! Research and Development!!!





I installed a 6 position auxiliary fuse block w/ground terminal strip, 5 LED rocklights, 2 LED dome light replacements, and a new Coast driveline for the front.

Hallelujah!!!

Fixed my steering today! Picked up a JKS trackbar from a local shop and ran it over to the alignment shop to get it installed. They set the toe-in (which was way off) and installed the trackbar. Now it drives like a dream again! WooHOO!!!!! No more slop!!!!

My steering has been the BIGGEST headache I've ever had with my Jeep - today it's all behind me!!!!

Bought a CB for it, now I just need to wire it, and find a place for it. Maybe one of these days I'll start building a cage for it too. I'd install it today, but a big cold front moved in and now it's freezing and starting to snow, so another day then.

Ordered my Co2 tank. I just went with the 15 pound Power Tank with the mounting bracket, upgraded "rock guard handle" (who knows what the hell that is??) and a 20 foot hose.

Who cares what the cool kids do. If everyone did what the cool kids always do everyone would have 1 tons, 42s, and big Chevy V8 power.

Finished wiring my overhead switches and temporarily installed a pair of LED light panels into the rear of my storage box.





I wanted to see how well they will work before I install them permanently.
