Bobs boring build.

I've been putting this off for quite some time now mostly because my boring, wimpy progress was simply not worthy of "Build" status, but I guess if I don't start something, I never will. If nothing else, I guess, it will serve me as a good timeline of things I've done to my heep and things to come. I'll be starting a little backwards since I don't have any pics of when I first got my rig. Kicking myself for that!
I've owned my rig for over 6 years now, and along the way most of the goodies I've added have been from a culmination of Xmas presents, birthday presents, Fathersday presents and the like from my beautiful, and very patient wife! I've managed to sneek a few important goodies in for good measure as well.
Anyways....Here's where I'm at now.

Yep, me too. Got a small Craftsman bag with tools under the passenger seat and a small backpack with other junk under the driver seat. This ammo can I have will fit my winch controler, some gloves, my Currie deflator an maybe a couple of D-rings. Not a lot, but it will make it easier to get to em. I sand blasted the ammo can at work and applied a coat of Rustmort primer on it. I will line the inside with some ozite carpet and drill two holes in the side for mounting to the inside of the tailgate. A couple of nutserts on the inside of the gate will secure it. Yeah, it sounds kinda stupid, but hey, at least it's something cheap I can do to my heep!

Had an opportunity to actually take the Jeep somewhere today. A friend of mine got a shiny new JKU and decided we needed to get it a little muddy/snowy. Had to search for the snow, but found some.....

Being that funds are tight right now, I'm trying to do little things to the Jeep that satisfy my need to mod and is kind to my pocket book. I was checking things out under the hood yesterday before my little adventure and ran across a cracked vacume hose at the back of the valve cover going to the intake manifold. There was a fair amount of oil blow by on the valve cover, so I cleaned it up, pulled the line and put some heat shrink tubing on the cracked portion for a temporary fix until I can order a new one.
Think the next small project will be to clean up the door entry area. Think I'll finally pull the headlight rings and paint them to get rid of the last bit of shiny.

Here's that pesky vacuum line I had to patch up to termporarily. Called the dealer. $8 for a new line and $6 for the elbow. Figured I'd replace them both. You can see in the second photo where I put some heat shring tubing on the cracked portion of the line. It's holding for now.

Well, you know how they say problems come in 3's. First was the clutch master, then the CCV vacuum line, now on the way home, when I turned on the headlights the highbeam indicator on the dash would not turn off. The driver side headlight was very dim and the passenger side was fine. WTF!

That was my first choice, but I need a step area for my wife to step into with her slippery girly shoes which is why I have the Rock Barz now. I thought the Genright's might be a good compromise. I called Jeff at Rokmen, but he didn't seem too excited about doing a dimple die step on his. Thanks for the suggestion though.:cheers2:
