I don't think I have ever made a post on my exhaust, but I made a sound clip of my entire Jeep and how it is setup now. I have an MBRP XP cat-back, I'll have to make a post on it sometime soon. For now, you can check out this video and hear the monster!

Another video! I do a ton of custom headlight work and I finally decided to make a how to video on how I remove the lens and housings from each other. In other words, to open up your headlights! This is the first step to any custom headlight work, so I thought I'd share how it can be done! If you liked it, please give it thumbs up, it really helps!

I figured the same thing; with the amount of time that I will actually be using this, I figured I wouldn't spend the money, or space, on an entire cabinet setup. It works really well too!

Hey, follow-up question on this, what kind of mess does the blast media make? Wondering if I used a tarp or something as a backdrop if I could just re-use the media?

Aye man, can you tell me how the lift works? Like i under you got a body lift but i want to know how does the shocks and coils work so i can later do the same thing.

I tarp would suffice, though I can imagine not all of the media will be recirculated. I always do it outside with a tarp as to not make a mess on my driveway or let it build up in the grass next to it. I can definitely see it working if you tried to filter and re use it though! The mess depends on the pressure you set your compressor to, but regardless you'll end up with media all over!

I have only a suspension lift as the WK platform utilizes a unibody; so there are no body lift options for a WK. The front is setup with Bilstein 4600 struts with Moog coil isolators (if that makes a difference) and Rocky Road Outfitter's 2.25" spacers stacked above it.

The rear simply has Old Man Emu HD Coils to provide around 2.5" of lift.

Let me know if there is anything else I can provide for you!

Hey everyone,

I have some really exciting news. After uploading my video explaining how I open my headlights, I was in contact with LED Concepts and with the way things are looking, I will soon be a tech for them and producing videos for their channel on YouTube. Keep your eyes out for updates regarding this, it should be awesome! I'll keep the thread posted!

So the rear doesn't have the RR spacers correct ? Just the front does.

Yep! Only the front has spacers!

Thank you! It's cool to see someone my age doing the same thing. I checked out your thread, WK is looking great!

I am working on releasing a video on my YouTube channel once every week or at least once every other week. This week I go into detail installing LED Concepts ColorMorph halo kit inside WK headlights. Let me know what you guys think about the video and what I can add to the channel! It is all centered around my WK and WK components, so I will happily accept feedback!

Nice video. I'm sure a ton of people will appreciate the help of showing how to install the halos.

Thank you! Yeah that was my goal, it's often thought of as really hard, but I feel a lot of people would do it if they had the confidence!

For a little while now, I have had my Steel Armadillo Switch Panel laying around with some OTRATTW switches. I finally decided to make a video on the installation and get it mounted! You can check out some pictures and the video below.

You can see I'm missing a rocker, it's on its way over though!

I think I have mentioned that I will be Monstalining my Jeep soon. Doing so, I thought it would be appropriate to rid my Jeep of the color red that I am currently using as an accent color. To do this, I used Dupli-Color paints. I started off by sanding the intake tube flat because it was a textured plastic. It also had a seam through the middle that had to be flattened. So, I used a low grit to get rid of it and ended up sanding it with 600 grit last to make it smooth. Then I used Dupli-Color's filler/primer, then sanded that after with 1,000 grit. Then I used their series of metallic paints followed by their Clear Effex clear coat to add some green and red metallic flakes. Went from 1,000 to 2,500 grit after the clear dried and then polished it! I'll be doing this for everything else that is red!

I recently noticed that my differential had fluid all over it, so I suspected the axle seal was leaking. Again, I replaced it with an aftermarket brand when I replaced my CV axle, so it was the weakest link. Just like what I did with my oil pressure sensor, I went to my Mopar dealer five minutes away and they were able to price match a new axle seal with one I found online! I also went ahead and ordered Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-140 for the diff. I do a lot of forum reading and found this to be a highly recommended product. In the process, I made a video on how to service the front diff our our Jeeps, or the Chrysler 200mm in general!

I basically covered all bases here with social media. I just made a Facebook page so I have all the projects and mods I am working on in one place without posting them in a bunch of groups and whatnot. I also made an Instagram to post all of the edited, high quality pictures that I take with my Canon! Those along with the YouTube channel complete it! Come check things out!
