If you would like to PM me with your write up and links to pictures I'd be happy to post.
I've heard of the water vapor injection before but figured it was like the HHO generator.

just think of the possibilities, add a little seafoam at times, or even some potpourri to set the mode for that specail date

It works off engine vacuum and as strange as it sounds, it does work. I now get a more respectable 18.1 mpg and a wee bit more horsepower for cruising on the highway. Over the winter, I even experimented with switching out the water in the reservoir with some alcohol. Perhaps it wasn't exactly smog legal, but it did give me a lot more power. The alcohol made my MPG's drop since I was having a wee bit too much fun romping on the gas.
Anyway, I am now running straight water and enjoying a few more miles per gallon. If you, or anyone else is at all interested in my injection system, just let me know. I'll send you my specs and you can post them on the board. I'm not so much concerned with getting credit for my idea. I just thought it was fun creating something that actually worked so well.

Grenade shifter
I made a grenade 4 wheel shifter for my YJ. It’s not a set screw like the ones you get in the stores. I welded a 3/8 coupling nut to the grenade body so it's a perfect tight fit. Im not sure how to upload the pics cause im not a fan of PB.

There seems to be a bit of interest in my Water Vapor Injection idea. I will be happy to generate a full on write-up for it. One of the Jeep guys on this forum claimed he would post my mock-up if I sent it to him, so I'll send it all to him tomorrow. With any luck, this can help others as well.
Someone wrote that they think it might not work on a TJ. I disagree. From what I can tell, it should work on any internal combustion engine. I even toyed with the idea of hooking it into my wife's Prius to see if it would bump up the mileage on that as well.
I do feel it's doing a capable job of increasing my cylinder pressure and I can say my spark plugs have never looked cleaner, so it does appear to be having some positive effects.
Please be patient, more to come...

Today I made a light mount/ flip up plate holder that bolts onto the back of the fairlead mount. It only took less than 5 hours to do, including paint and wiring the lights up. I also made the front bumper a few months ago.

Congo cage with basket.
The PO put on rear LED lights so I had to cut to fit and drill new holes for the rear brackets.
