Okay so I had some pretty bad cancer in my passenger side lower rear quarter panel, I'm gonna eventually cut and fold (need to add some metal), but for now I cut out the cancer and under coated and painted it to stop it from spreading. It's looks alright from 20 ft away or 20 miles an hour... A classic 20/20 paint job.

Long time no see everybody. Lots of updates on the jeep.

Built a roof rack
Painted around my fenders
And a lot of housekeeping in and out of the jeep

I love this class. I get graded to look at my jeep all day. Wooo

We had to make a logo with a symbol and our name. What better than a jeep.

Hello all happy Veterans Day!!! Got a lot done on my day off from school.
So let's here's where she started today.
- cluttered trunk
- differentials in desperate need of and oil change
- dirty overall truck

I basically just did some housekeeping and simple upgrades.

First was a new toolbox and a much needed taking stock of my tools and oils etc. you can never be too prepared. Also I needed a new place to store my hi lift to accommodate the new height f the tool box (as opposed to resting it in the wheel wells and securing it with bungee cords)

It is now much more secure and I don't have to worry about it voicing around in the back

Next I just velcroed a flashlight to my dash. These lights are second to none. I think they may be better than mag lights.

I put my old tool box on my bumper. I'm putting it in place of my imaginary winch. I'm gonna but a chain and tow strap into it as well as some beers and ice on the weekends

Next I re-located my license plate. It's much more badass and I was getting tired of it on my bumper. I also got some cheapo d- rings from tractor supply

To end the day I started on the rear differential. Removed the core and cleaned all the faces if of the cover and differential and cleaned up the cover. I'm painting it blaze orange with a smiley face maybe.

And that's all for today. Here's some pics of how the jeep sits today. Please recommend any other cool upgrades you can think of.

Also I'm not sure if I got this in the last update but I made use to that little cubby area to the right of the cargo area. Para cord to hold my first aid kit and miscellaneous other things

Guys I need your help...

So the jeep has sat all week (Monday-Thursday) it's been really cold and when I parked it all the gauges worked. On Friday my mom took Catherine to work (3 miles away) and back, she didn't mention anything not working... It rained all day Saturday and this morning (Sunday)I went to start it and it was dead, didn't think much of it so I hooked up the jump pack and fired it up no problem. When I got in only the RPM and gas gauges were working. Everything else was dead. The 'check engine' and airbag light came on as well then shut off per the usual. The blinkers and the high beam lights work and the night-lights turn on. So I proceed to give the dash a whack because that was a short term solution for the last time it happened. ( about two months ago the cluster would periodically die and I would hit it and it would come back on, later that day I removed the cluster and cleaned the contacts and put on some dialectric grease and re assembled the dash and it worked fine) anyways back to today. I went for a drive and it ran fine everything was normal. I tried the radio an it wasn't working either. Went home and checked both fuse boxes. On the inside panel I found one blown 25A fuse and replaced it. I don't know what it was for but it fixed it. After I replaced the fuse the interior lights quit working when the doors are open. Now I'm here, confused, a tad upset and I really wanna figure out what's wrong with her. Please help me guys and thanks for your time

Soooooo simple fix, the famous (or infamous) IOD fuse was blown... It was also a 10A fuse instead of a 15A fuse so that may have been part of the problem.... It actually was the problem.

p.s you guys are slacking in the help dept.
