Light bar with three direction lights. Built the storage shelf from plywood and covered it with some ACU tarp material. Made a sleeve cover that mounts on top of the spare and then attached a molle vehicle panel onto it. Put in a rifle rack which holds my shovel and axe. Installed the cargo netting and then used a bunch of my molle pouches and attached them.

Finally got around to fixing the typical lock button/window switch problem. My auto down even works now!

Holy crap! This is amazing and is my ideal rear cargo setup. I may have to follow suit. Looks like a TuffNet too (I dig mine).

I took my front dirveshaft out to isolate a noise. I can't think of this being anything other than a bad u-joint.

Figured I would sort out why my OX locker wouldn't fully engage. Found some missing parts on the stick end.. then opened my front diff to check everything there.

Found this

No good side shots. It's the Dirtbound Off-road Mojave front bumper. Got the DIY kit for $150 and welded it up.

Took my wife's WJ out today so she could go to the dentist. After finding out she needs a root canal, the jeep broke down. It starts and then shuts right back off. It had half a tank of gas, but now shows empty. After it shuts off the gas light is on, security key light, check engine light, and I think the abs light. Even if i hit the gas it still dies. I'm going to check the fuses and swap out the relay here shortly. Fuse is good and I swapped out the relay...no help. The fuel gauge never moves from E and the fuel light is on. It appears to have fuel pressure...I had someone start it as I pushed in on the fuel rail valve.

Any ideas before I get it towed 20+ miles?

Well...I give up. While trying to trouble shoot it I noticed that the oil, battery, and temp gauges don't work either. Unless someone has any ideas...I'm going to say it's the computer again. A couple of years back it would randomly shut off. It turned out to be the computer would forget the security keys. Tomorrow ill have it towed to the dealership. A bottle of jack should help me make it through tonight.
