Yes I am very excited for them to release a 33x12.50r15 of the Ko2. It's not even out yet in my size, that's how new it is.

Gives me time to break-in the new tire patch, I suppose.

I didn't think they're going to be making them in 15" sizes... I wish they would. I really like them.

I've just ordered a complete Daystar toggle switch kit for the air vents, as well as some LED rock lights. Everything should be here by next week.

Yesterday at the junk yard, I found a computer cover on a 96 XJ Country. It was in perfect condition, and since I just did wire-splicing on my computer for the extended idle switch, I figured it would help keep my connections safe from water:

I'm working on some all-new toggle switches for my light bars, and even some rock lights!

A sneak peek of the toggle switches:

I found a seller on Ebay that makes custom printing on them.

I just got one of the switches put in today:

Finished up the rest of the LED light bar/LED pod switches today:




I made my own custom plug ends for the switches.

As you can probably tell there's also a rock lights switch. I ordered some very special waterproof LEDs that I will be wiring in soon, so stay tuned!

UPS came today and dropped off some goodies.

Stainless steel braided extended front brake lines, and rear shock bushings:




Those shock bushings are going to come in handy for my free rear bar pin eliminators that I'm making out of the brackets from my rear sway bar that I removed:

Switches look good there. Also if you do the rear BPE don't bolt them in using the factory holes. Make new holes or weld them in. If you bolt the sway bar mounts in to factory spot it puts the rear shock moving back and forth, rather then side to side putting un needed stress on the bushings and bolts.
