Finally got around to installing my aux fuse block. Wired to the battery with 4gage Monster Cable I had lying around from the system in my old Civic. Still need to finish the rest of the wiring, but its functional and MUCH cleaner than before.
Also finally got around to installing my CB and antenna. Need to find a local shop to have the antenna tuned sometime this week.

I hang around the website now and then. I actually joined and payed my dues last year and never got membership card, shirt or any correspondence, so needless to say I didn't renew.

MML installed
MML installed thanks to provelogear.
Took about an 1, hardest part was relocating the fan shroud.
All I have to say having the right tools and an air gun really helps.
Thanks Joe
Kevin

I just finished installing my 2.25" budget boost along with OME shocks, JKS Quicker Disconnects, JKS adjustable front trackbar, OME rear trackbar bracket, Spidertrax wheel spacers, & homemade t-case drop (washers).
This was my first ever attempt at anything like this...with a few borrowed tools, several hours spread over 3 days, lots of aches & bruises....I did it...ALONE!!
Now I can replace my worn out 31" tires soon with 32's.
Off to have my alignment checked & steering wheel re-centered.

Bought a 96 Honda for everyday duty and parked the TJ and ordered a car cover, finally the Michigan road salt will no longer rust my TJ away year after year.

How is that 96 Honda going to handle the Michigan snow?

That's what I was wondering...
I took my Jeep out in the snow for the first time today. 2WD is FUN! And in 4x4 it feels like it's glued to the pavement. We had 3-4 inches of snow and I did most of the day in 2WD just because. First thing this morning I went over to a parking lot and did some donuts and panic stops and stuff to get used to how it drives in the snow (first vehicle without ABS).
I changed my oil yesterday and while I was at it checked my coolant. Not Safe, according to the tester. Flushed it out today and put some new stuff in. Jeep runs 10 degrees cooler now!  I don't think the coolant had ever been changed. It's a 2003 with 51000 miles on it.

I was in the same snow, and I agree that it was fun. My new Trxus tires score 5 out of 5 in my book!

I changed the rear diff fluid. I thought it had gotten water in it, but it didn't. It was leaking a drop here and there too. Put Lucas Synthetic in which should work well.

Parked it next to an Aston Martin and a bunch of Bimmers and Mercedes.
Got a thumbs up from one of those rich old farts.

That's right, everybody wants one -- Jeep Wrangler, that is.  It's like checking out a babe when walking down a street or mall with the wife.
