They inject liquid poo into the soil round here, makes summer BBQs a joy when the fields at the back of my house get done.

I'd rather live near something like that and be in a free(er) part of the country, than where I currently am surrounded by weed smoke.

There's a great meme running around that I'll paraphrase...
I want to live someplace I don't want to take a vacation from.

True, it's easy to moan about things that aren't that bad, I wouldn't want to live in a town.

isn't there a type of wheat farmers plant that helps rejuvenate an underperforming field?

I’m not 100% sure. I know my Grandpa had a couple fields that flooded frequently, so he put them into the CRP program. Basically, the government pays farmers to not farm. It’s also habitat restoration for prairie land.

Come to think of it, the field in my picture floods often, also.

Got some off shore led fog lamps given to me the other day - they are for a JK stock front bumper but have heard that they will work on the KJ.

Once you pop the lights out of the mounting bracket the two side tabs match up perfectly to the holes in the KJ rad support assembly. And on these ones the wiring plugged right in to the factory harness.

I had to make up some little brackets for the adjustment screw as it is in a different spot on these lamps and had to cut a bit of plastic on the rad support to make some room for the screw as well.

Didn't get any shots with them on after - will head down a dark road tomorrow after work to see if they are any good. If they suck then at least it is easy to put the old ones back in :)

How do they look now? Bright enough? I'd be down to install these compared to the stock ones I have now.

**** USA 11980​

so I picked up, what I thought, was a pair. well it turns out I only bought 1. they actually mount up decently well to the mirror housing. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to under mount it though. $36 each is a hard pill to swallow though.

I had a check engine light appear for P0038, which is the heater circuit for the downstream drivers side oxygen sensor. I unplugged the pigtail and tested it with the multimeter, and it tested bad (ohms of resistance way too high). I prefer Mopar for most things but Mopar O2 sensors are pricey. NTK makes them for Mopar anyway and so an NTK branded one from Rock Auto only set me back about $30 compared to $85 or more for OEM. The hard part will be to remove the old sensor. These things are always seized.

since the sensor is already bad, heat that bitch up cherry red and unscrew it.

I don’t have a torch. Would the propane torch in the HD / Lowe’s tool section be hot enough to do automotive work like this? I’m sure there are other rusty bolts that will need removing in the future.

In my experience, those torches have been hot enough. It won’t work as fast as oxy/acetylene, but it will work.

I've heard the stuff in the yellow bottle that'll be right next to the propane is hotter. I can't remember what it's called though.
