Today was a successful maintenance day.

First on my GFs altima I cleaned it checked fluids, put some air in it. And on my baby I cleaned her put some air in the tires, adjusted rear brakes, put some white lithium grease on hinges, cleaned battery terminals and put some dielectric grease on. I felt like I accomplished something. Oh and I also checked my run for my soon hella aux lights, now to just save for them and mark out how I want them mounted on my brush guard .

I just ran it straight through the firewall to the battery with 8ga wire. The inverter has a fuse in it.

When I wired mine I ran 2G wire to the battery for both the + & -. Called the manufacture about what size wire they recommend and that's what they said I needed. The farther from the power source the bigger the wire needed. I also got a 150A circuit beaker from the local stereo shop for the + side.

Default Well it was yesterday, Show n Shine

Worked on the frame late friday night. Got up at six and washed three jeeps for the Club Show n Shine (proceeds to Childrens Wish). With the girls pilotting their ZJ and Libby we had a regular convoy gettin there. Wellington Motors was a great host location. Lots of jeeps all states of build attended, terrific weather and company. The Peep was placed in the front row as there needed to be a Cherokee representin. A few other really nice XJ's in the mix as the day went on Was happy with the frame work also and showed it off a little to a few friends. About 80 jeeps attending, vendors, ati ramp, car crush, charity raffle, prizes

well after 21 painful hours (yup no sleep just for the jeep ) I ripped out the restriction in the stock air box, finished my apn header, soaked/cleaned out intake manifold and fuel rail, cleaned engine intake and exhaust ports, installed 703 injectors, brown dog motor mounts,new front pipe, "custom" cat, dynomax muffler, tail pipe and changed the oil. there were moments where i just wanted to say f it I give up but I'm glad its all done now and what a difference it all made!

no more cabin smog
it starts properly (no longer takes two tries)
much smoother idle
better throttle response
very noticeable power increase


one o theses




one of these days I'm gonna start a build thread
