I just changed my idler pulley and the negative battery clamp. Crappy universal one from autozone was big.

Front end sounds a lil better with the new pulley but still have a bad metal scrapping sound while driving cold at 1k-2k rpm. Not hearing it whiling standing still and revving the engine. At a lose right now.

Yes... I built up a circuit using a dual usb port and I must say; I can't find a single usb charger that charges nearly as fast as this one. My dead phone battery can fully charge in 15 minutes. Now, I'm just curious if a clock panel would have the room; if I ever find one.

That's a cool idea, i was thinking of getting power inverter to do the same thing, how hard of a job was it? Got a write up on it? I'm sure many people would be interested since most of us have cellphones and iPods it would be handy.

I would have to agree

Hollowed out rule 5 and stuck a Subaru STI resonator on and it sounds exactly the same as the stock exhaust...

I think the brush guard matches the flat flares.

Haha! I didn't like the brush guard at first, but it's sorta grown on me. Looks like she's wearing nerd glasses. It's temporary, anyway, until I decide and get a bumper upgrade. I want to hang some aux lights on her in the meantime and I'd rather have it on the Jeep than sitting in the garage.

I screwed up by painting the mirrors and intend to paint them black again someday. As for the grill, I told the painting guys I wanted the inside grill to stay black, but I guess they flaked. I'll paint those, too, when I do the mirrors.

It was just me in the Jeep thank god. Tried to miss a deer on a narrow backroad and my passenger tires got off the road and slid across the street and rolled down a hill

Man. Glad your OK.

Maybe more people need to go deer hunting? Seems a lot of people having deer problems lately.

Anyhow...

Off to go work on the Heep.

Report coming this evening.

Got a window for her. Shes all prepped ready to have her new window installed when my father in law gets home from the drag strip.

Fitted a new radiator top hose and new coolant. Then dropped her off for the MoT (inspection). Even I could hear the blowing back box...let's just hope there's no more welding this year!
