if someone fabs up solid metal sides all around for that rack, I'd be really interested. That would give me the mounting surface(s) needed to put on things like lights and cameras (I have designs on some stuff; integrating my yellow LED beacon lights, side and rear view cameras for when I'm towing, front/rear/side light bars, etc.)

Not done today, jeep in shop

So on my previous car, which was a Suzuki SX4 (very reliable but AWD not 4WD) I had put led tail lights, reverse lights and front and rear markers and all interior lights. Led headlamps weren't available for them but they are for the Libby. I bought a pair on superbrightleds.com, $99 for the pair. Easy peasy install took all of ten minutes and they are bright. A nice white light, no yellow or bluish tinge like you see in factory LEDs on expensive cars. We'll see how,they last in the long run. Now the Libby is in the shop having new rubber put on General Grabber AT2's 235/70/16. Should've been out today but due to the fact that the previous owner didn't pay attention to recalls it's having 5 taken care of. Hey at least I get new upper and lower ball joints and a trailer hitch for free.

Continuing the hunt to get an Export rear wiring harness before my next day off so I can finish the conversion for rear fogs.

Yea i been there got my grabbers last august love them cheap too $550 for 4 mounted and balanced. We had a pretty light winter but any snow i could see i went at it 2wd no problems. Then again one time i was in the alley looking for piles and i found one and had to put it in part time but i was dckin around. Normal driving its hard to get stuck with these tires. This is them clogging up and throwing mud check it out let me know what you think.

Nearly forgot changing the spark plugs and giving her a nice wash undercarriage wheel wells and probably spray off the engine bay after the plugs.

Drove it up to our favorite FFLs to fill out the paperwork to start the 7 days for MD transfer (idiotic law just to delay gun ownership...especially when you already own a gun). My hubby's getting another Browning Hi-Power, this one with the later, bigger sights.

Did the Alt bag get spun into the pulleys?
I use a power washer on mine occasionally, and cover up the alt and use rags around the coil pack base, so water does not get down there.
I dont like to spray in the fuse box area either or into the horns...otherwise the horns sound real water logged for weeks, until they dry out. :icon_lol:

Drained and filled the transfer case and rear diff about 3 AM. Couldn't sleep so what else is there to do at that time? Front later tonight possibly
Also installed " another" PS pump, Mopar rebuilt last about 45 days then started leaking like a sieve, always was noisy from the get go. 1/2 quart per 120 miles , no rust underneath though:happy175:
Still waiting on springs and shocks for the Kentucky CRD buildup.

Drove it to work, then to home and to the theater to see Jurassic World, which those of you who know my Jeep will know why I posted this.
