So far no complaints. I don't have passengers often but there is plenty of leg room. I couldn't fit it in between the seats just not enough room. Can still reach it safely where it is. Haven't ran at night yet to see if its blaring in my face.

Good range on the CB so far. Weather band is awesome!! Haven't had a full highway test yet.

The weather band is a big favorite with me, too.

Guess what I did today. I'll give you a hint.

Late to this conversation but your question and picture just struck me as funny.

My answer was going to be, "You bought a really strong antenna that can hold up your house's roof..." :laughing1:

It's like Christmas! If it ever gets warmer I have stuff to do. The shovel, quick fists, torx fold, and the flares are all made in USA. The strap and sub isn't but they will do. And trying to find everything made here is hard!!

I am slowly building my recovery kit

Sound Ordnance isn't expensive but they're great for the money. Put a set of 6.5" in the front doors of my Astro and was blown away by the sound - at $50 for the pair!

Ya that's the 8" powered woofer. Too cold to wire though. Will see in a while.

January 30th. Huddled for warmth inside. Kept the Jeep plugged in to ensure a easy start. February 2nd. Outside washing her in a t-shirt. Gotta love New England!

So here are the pictures as promised from my shovel mount on the shelf as well as the hidden sub woofer.


The full shovel fits perfect. Held in place with quick fists.

I made wooden spacers so that it wouldn't touch and rattle

The sub woofer is under the rear small seat drivers side. Pardon the wiring mess I haven't gotten under there to tame it yet after the install. One thing I did encounter is that you can't fully put that seat side down with that under there. No problem though I just pull out one seat bolt bend the seat up and I can remove the subwoofer.

I plan on bed-lining the shelf this summer so it doesn't get all marred up whenever I touch it.

 

[CzarKJ]

So I guess I wasn't done with the lift after all. Going to do top plate and Clevis in the front. One spacer in back. Should level her out a bit more. Once it stops snowing next august I should be able to get it done.

Ok well my radiator crapped the bed on the top right at 120 something thousand (just about average for replacement I have seen). Instead of taking it to the dealer as I stated earlier and I am going to use this as a learning experience (and a chance to get intimate with my lady's parts). I will try to get all the parts tomorrow from the dealer until then I am Jeepless and at the mercy of co-workers to pick my butt up for work.

So Mopar radiator, upper and lower hoses + clamps(wow mine are rusty). A stop by the local napa for some zerex-g 05 (50/50 mix actually comes up a little cheaper for 4 gallons than the full stuff). Anything I am missing? I am not doing the waterpump or thermostat at this point in time.

P.S. (I like parenthesis today)

 

[CzarKJ]

Done. Almost 2 hours.

I've never done one myself, but two hours sounds pretty efficient. Nice job!

 

[Leeann]

Nice!

Oh and if anyone was wondering what color their coolant from the dealer should be... and yes I used to a cooler because it was the biggest thing I could find. The width for catching overspray is just a bonus haha

 

[CactusJacked]

A cooler catcher is a good idea. Does it have a spigot on the bottom for easy refilling of the cooling system?

 

[CzarKJ]

Mine didn't but I didn't plan on reusing this coolant due to the fact when I drained it a bunch of other stuff got mixed in with it. Don't worry I will dispose of it properly

Finished messing with the front suspension I think. 21 in front and 22.25 in the rear. Got an alignment at the dealer (was sick of the mom and pop shops saying they "did the best they could"). Got an older Jeep tech who knew his stuff and took care of her. Feels real solid now.
