I do believe I'll be purchasing these HID projectors:
They're Norcal Pegasus projectors. I also plan to stick some 6000k 55w high/low HIDs in there. I'll go with the white angel eyes, but I'm still debating on the color.
I also want to do red interior lights and dome lights.
EDIT: Actually, I've decided on the Truck Lite LED headlights. They have a significantly lower amperage draw, and they produce nearly the same light!

Today I installed my track bar and turned my tires white-wall out at my buddy's shop:
I think it actually looks better this way.
We also found that my AC freon was over-filled, so by fixing that problem my AC isn't giving me problems anymore.

Today I put my Jeep to the towing test.
This trailer was sitting and rotting in this storage unit for over 13 years. The owner never took the boat with him when he left. So the owner of the storage unit said the boat would be free to anyone that could get it out.
The axles of the trailer were buried in the dirt and the boat had rain water, dirt, and vines up to the brim.
This is my Jeep Cherokee trying to pull it out and not being so successful. My buddy's 1959 Ford F100 with a big block V8 managed to get it out later on in the day.
First I tried it in 2wd, then tried 4wd, then tried 4LO. First video is me trying, and second video is my buddy trying. I offered him $10 if he could move it 18 inches.

Today I put some dyno mat over the hole where the AC lines go into the cabin. This completely eliminated all of the excess heat that was rolling into my cabin from the engine compartment. All my passengers always complained about it.
Also I tore out my carpet, cleaned it up, and put it back in.

I've tracked down an annoying popping sound to be the bushings going bad on my control arms. I warrantied them out, they should be here this evening and then no more popping

I decided today that I've gone long enough with the empty hole in the middle of my stinger bumper.
I bought the 12,000 pound winch at harbor freight. It was on sale for $400, and I had a 20% off coupon on top of that. I bought the 2 year protection plan just in case.

I agree with you 100%! That yellow truck had about 8500 pounds while I'm just 4000.
