Today I hit some nice deep muddy puddles and actually flooded my horns. Gotta get those replaced soon at $15 apiece.
After all was said and done, I went to get a wash at the car wash and they refused to clean my Jeep saying, "sorry buddy, that thing on the front of your car will just get ripped off by the brushes."
Another surprise, I found my lost Jeep knife right under my hood in front of my air intake. It has apparently been there for a few weeks, even with my rough driving, and gravity fighting against it. That alone made my day.
I removed all of my CB equipment, which I'll be selling to a friend for $45.

Today re-did the headliner. Same factory color. Got rid of the sagging right over my head and therefore made it easier to see traffic lights.

Well I WAS saving up for a 5.5" rubicon express but your 6.5 looks pretty sick. Thanks for messing up all my plans! Haha jk I love your jeep. I'm pretty jealous of that blue

Today I traded tires with my friend to see what they would be like. He took my 33x12.50r15 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs with 15x8 rims, and I took his 33x12.50r15 Firestone Destination M/Ts with 15x10 rims.
Honestly, I liked my tires more. They roll longer, they produce a hell of a lot less road noise, they're smoother, and I get better gas mileage with them. I also notice that my Jeep hates the 10 inch rims; it feels like there's a lot more drag when turning. I'm glad I picked my 8 inch wide rims. On the other hand, that doesn't keep the Firestones from looking cool:
I also had the opportunity to put on my friend's Jeep roof rack. I like it a lot more than the roof rack I had earlier, which I ended up selling. The only thing is, this one is home-made and to get another one made would be difficult:

I've been meaning to relocate mine-- they are pretty exposed now after I put my Nates4x4 winch bumper on. I wish it was just one horn instead of two, oh well...
