The problem is having a light over the license plate.

Yup I ordered some tag bolts that have the leds in em. Should work perfect for a tag light. I wanted to keep the tag on the hatch just to keep things simple.

Finished the head gasket and got everything back together! APN header installed as well to replace the stock one with a huge crack.

Only problem now is that theres a leak in the back of the intake/exhaust and I can see exhaust leaking from it.

Will update when the led's get here.

I just moved my license plate over so the bolts that held it on the right side are now the left side bolts, and didn't have anything on the right. Worked perfectly. Could read the whole plate, and it was lit up. The best part, free. And no cops ever gave me crap about it.

The 32" tire and the pre96 hatch didn't work that way. I had to bend the tag to use the other screw hole and even then it was still covered by tire slightly.

Who would be down for a Rausch Creek trip? I'd like to put together a decent size group to really have some fun. Say middle of June or early July.

My neighbor is trying to put a trip together for the two weeks he'll be home in June. I don't have dates though

Ahh gotchya.


And as for Rausch trip my Jeep is no where near ready yet. And right now it's back to the bottom of the priority list for a couple months. Once I get the 240 on the road I'll be able to focus more on the Jeep again.

no that is not important. Focus on the jeep

You can't just come on a jeep forum and say u aren't gonna focus on the jeep.
