I've done tons of little stuff to the Jeep over the last week or so;

Sanded and repainted the exterior flat black and blue. Eliminated all the little rust spots. Scrubbed and painted all the hard plastic trim interior, replaced seat covers, removed the aged window tint....this was really easy on these windows too because the windows are very flat compared to other cars. Razor blade took the goop off real easy! I also managed to replace the PS return hose and tried to get the pressure hose off and put the new on but I need to get an odd 23/32 wrench. (Why in tarnations didn't they use a common size for this pain in the **** bolt? GRRR!)

This is the second pressure hose that I have had to buy because some tweaker-junky dill-hole broke in my Jeep and stole my cheap tool set, a new fuel filter and my power steering hoses! Who in the heck steals a fuel filter out of an old Jeep??? Srsly WTF?

Don't do drugs, children! Drugs make one stupid, incoherent, and basically a zombie...I've got no problem blasting zombies if I need to...

If you are out driving around bored, pull into a truck stop and look at their square headlight accessories.

Thanks, but nearest 'Truck-stop' is more than a casual drive away, but I'll keep it in mind.!
The Dick Cepek on eBay look good.

^Those are the fogs but advertised as headlights. The ones listed as fogs are actually for headlights; 7-3/8" x 5-3/8" x 1-1/4" deep
