Gotta get it welded on later this week.

The jeep sounds so badass now with the new intake and no muffler. Was seriously considering straight piping it haha.
Nice work for a shirtless weekend assistant trailer park supervisor!

I'm 6'2.. I moved it back a bit, and rather than using those poles that came factory to hold up the dome light i just took some sheet metal screws that were about the right length and screwed it into the metal just under the roof

Left my windows down before a surprise downpour came through. Went out to close them. In the process, I pulled up the carpet to see if I could tell where the water was coming in at. At last, I found that water was gushing in from where the antenna comes through the body. Unfortunately, when I rushed out of the jeep, to avoid getting wet, I locked the keys inside.

That's easy...... The black molding where the window meets the door it slides up w a lil pressure & then you can stick a screw driver down to hit the door release & or lock , goes back with out any damage ,. I know for sure on post 97 xjs good luck

Picked up some ball joints for the project next week. Got home and saw one of them off center. I've never done ball joints so... get it replaced or will it be ok?

Lol!! Thats for my garmin. Was going to breakfast with friends yesterday and happened to notice the odometer! The PO(my best friend) was with me, needless to say, he comments that the jeep is running better than when he bought it with 30,000 miles lol

Put a new strobe on the jeep. That makes 2 up front, one on each side, two in the back and 2 strobe tubes per brake light.

I'm interested on how you did the arrives in you're taillights. I go in site to nuclear power plant conduction sites and i would like to have some strobes in the taillights as a safety precaution.

Got her stuck for the first time today. Wouldn't have been a problem if I had a lift.

That's stuck? Is your rear left tire not on the ground or something?
