like all the work you did slick set up on the dual battery. I would add some venting to your compressor set up they need some cool air or they will over heat

Ya I had thought about the heat in the enclosure but the reason I built the enclosure besides to protect it is the muffle the sound. Most of the time when I'm using it will be during the winter so I can open the door on it and let the cold air into the enclosure. Plus opening the door will kind of direct the sound out the back of the jeep. If the heat becomes an issue then ill just put a computer fan in the back of it by the seat back and that will blow across it.

Now its time to work on a rear storage sliding drawer.

There really is no logical "UN-STUPID" way to break Chromos in 14 bolt full floater. I'd love to here that story someday.

Quick question, have a rough country adjustable trac bar on my xj. Lifted 3 inches, 31 inch muds. When my wheel is straight and i turn to the left slightly. The trac bar is popping and i can see my driver front wheel move a little when it happens. Why is it popping?

Bassfish I would think that the joint is going bad but I could be wrong.
As for what I did to it today worked on it lol replaced the CPS put the new track bar on put the stereo back in and still work on things on it right now and thinking about kicking it a few times if I can't get it to have spark soon here. Can only replace so many things before there is nothing left that has to do with it sparking lol
