Got the driving lights working legally today. Will come on with running lights and headlights, go out when high beams are on. Still have to aim lights though...
Last picture shows the location of the lighting relays.
Now on to fabricating a dual battery tray, have to replace the idler pulley in the Cherokee first before the wife shoots me

Guess an idler pulley works and sounds better when the bearing is in one piece

Working on some little projects before I dive into the 8.8....

yes, it literally is pulling an axle out, putting it in, and adjusting the parking brake cables... oh yeah, and bleeding brakes

i know what you mean... one time the idler pulley went out on me in SoMD... i had to drive back to glen burnie stopping every 20 minutes to put more grease in it cause i didnt want it to break completely... and apparently i had way more grease than money lol
