Looks like the lift ain't happening, to much additional costs involved

Got bored and decided to relocate my AIT sensor onto my aem intake today. There was an unused 1/2 in tube on the intake pipe that is now used haha

Tube was a little long so I fixed that with an angle grinder

The sensor threaded itself right into the hole so no problems there but the wires going to it were pulled quite tight so I cut the main group housing back a lil and taped it back up. Also there was a bit to much blood in my index figure so I went ahead and corrected that with the razor as well

Plugged the oem hole with a brass plug and wa-la

That's the first time I've heard of that? And I've never seen anyone with them in the front

maybe its different out by you but here in michigan at silver lake the flag goes in the front so people can see you from the other side of the hill when climbing the dunes. makes no sense to put it on the back

It seems that when I get bored, things on my Jeep get painted black. I have zero $ and left over supplies to do the following.
Here's the plan: remove and paint front and rear "Jeep"s and side rear "4x4"s. I'm going to take off the "cherokee sport"s and leave them off for now (dont have enough tape or patients to do them). The "4.0 liter" is remaining untouched

Used some fishing string to cut away my front jeep emblem and painted it. 3 coats of krylon fusion did the trick. Then stuck them back on with some dbl sided trip tape I had left over from my last "paint it black" project.

Turned out nice I think?

Pulled the "4x4"s off today and got them painted but ran out of light so ill put the tape on them tonight in my house (easily said) and slap them on tomorrow. Then if I have enough tape left over, tomorrow ill when remove, paint, tape and reapply the rear Jeep. Will post final pictures once its all done
