30000 miles, a good start for my journal

[hyde]

I thought 30000 miles would be a good start to begin my journal.

I got my jeep november 2003, it is the first batch of 04, as soon as they came out, so it is early 04, first thing I did was get a set of catch-all mats, and cargo liner.. for some reason cargo liner did not fit! those guys at the online store were fine with me returning it, although they said it should fit, but it was too big.. next thing was mopar wind deflectors and later mopar wheel locks.

about 6 months after I got my jeep I bought mopar lens guards, those plastic ones, they look great, I mean GREAT but they don't hold well, those 3Ms are not sticky. One got loose, so I got J-B Weld and stuck them on, later it fell during car wash, and I had terrible JB Weld stain on my paint + lens..

So what I did was I bought AVS and covered them up. I got AVS online, and put them on, it doesn't match black paint %100 but looks OK.

I removed the advertisement off my spare cover using graffiti remover spray, and it was all black with small JEEP logo to the side. While doing that I damaged my rim's clad on spare, had tiny spots..

I had my first flat later on, and removed and tucked the cover away, since then I am coverless.

later I got clear turn signals and installed them, finally based on a suggestion of my fello jeeper here on the site, I got door edge guards and billet'ed up my front end.

Yesterday, during our trip to bear mountain I hit 29999 and by the time i started looking for my camera it hit 30000.

There.

[hyde]

35000 miles,
I tried a new set of speakers for the rear, here is the story.

This is the stock speaker connection, very much like the phone jack.

I am testing the speaker...

You must be registered for see images

It only looks good, but it didn't sound as good as I expected...

Oh crap, it didn't come with a bracket adapter, what to do what to do... it is very small, ok.. we need to buy a bracket..

A trip to the store and $20 later, I got a bracket. Exact fit, Chrysler adapter bracket.

The clip that didn't come out, instead it came apart from the place it is supposed to be held by on the panel....

You must be registered for see images

I tried to remove it with hand, and OUCH...

You must be registered for see images

in the end, now there is a little gap there, because I didn't want to fiddle with the clip, I should have removed it and put it back into its little place on the trim panel, but I was cold, my finger hurt and I wanted to get done with it already.

I put the stock speaker back the new kenwood didn't sound good enough, it had nice treble, but not enough bass.....





I got it washed today.

 

[RAYMAN1007]

get a hammer and use the nail pulling end to get it out, or something similar to pry it off, put a piece of cardboard behind it so you dont scratch the door. it doesnt take much force to remove them

 

[hyde]

I used metal cake spatula to remove the trim, stole it from my wife. It didn't scratch anywhere visible, did a little bit scratching underneath the panel.
I am done with this for this weekend, I will remove and fix that one next weekend. Thanks.

 

[hyde]

I am gonna keep this here to compare when it is out..

[ENBr]

Can you dim down all your cabin lights, or are the radio ones fixed intensity?

 

[libertyman]

Man I love those blue interior lighting, how and where do I get them?

 

[the_titan]

I don't know about the gages, if that's what you mean. But I outfitted my cars in colored LEDs from autolumination. I will get the listing of which bulbs to use when I get home from work. If you're interested in ordering from them, I will have to PM you a way you can get discounted bulbs through a Group Buy for another vehicle they serve. I think it was like 25% off.

Now if only the backlighting really WAS blue like the picture makes it seem and not ugly green!

 

[libertyman]

what, dam I thought they where blue, that would be awsome to make it look like that

 

[hyde]

Yeah, they are not blue, they just look blue. Since I have high contrast, they look only a tiny bit different than the stock ones, but not blue.
