I want it as bright as day infront of me. My stock beams are horrible. Maybe I'll invest in a putco.

Sat in it on my lunch and snapped this pic of a "Homeless" man that holds a sign everyday at my work saying "Homeless, Every bit helps!"

When the car flow stops from the parking lot he pulls out his cell phone, calls someone and I overheard him saying that "business is great today, I've made $31 in 20 minutes."

Scammer!!!

Do the Putco with all the money you save by not giving it to panhandlers.

Flushed the cooling system, cleaned the overflow bottle, new thermostat, new fan clutch, and new hoses. Just basic routine preventative maintenance. Also adjusted the rear hatch and greased all the zirk fittings on the Jeep.

Over the past few days:

Gas tank skid, rear wheel cylinders, stainless braided brake lines, Durango steering box, WJ steering pump, Hyline hood vents, got my rear bumper/tire carrier all painted and ready to put on, re-adjusted my 1 ton steering and got my toe perfect, re-adjusted my track bar and got it centered, and other little things.

Feel like i got hit by a train. But she's finally coming together.

My town finally seems to have gotten rid of most of the Professional Bums. One of them that I used to see every day on a major intersection drove an Escalade

Yesterday re-primed and bedlined driver's side trim and doors, and made this funky thing for what I call a cut'n'cap. It's like a cut'n'fold but there wasn't anything left to fold lol. I also like the stock bumper caps so shut up.

Today ordered round 2 of parts: rear ZJ disc conversion, brake hoses, pile o bushings, rear axle junk, ZJ steering upgrade, and some CCV crap. Gotta switch to a Ramen noodle diet or something.

before you get crazy with HID conversions...and if you haven't done so already....just try putting new "normal" bulbs in. There's plenty to choose from that claim to be brighter than stock.... I replaced both my headlight bulbs when one went out and it was a hell of a lot brighter. As bright as HID? Doubt it. But was it a BIG difference for under $20? Yes. of course YMMV

Drove it to second day of college. Thank God there is a guy that likes jeeps in my class. But when I said Cherokee he didn't like that. He's got a cj-7 with a 350. Everyone had to introduce there self. They asked us what our Dream car would be if money didn't matter and I said a Jeep XJ.
