Nice, boy you made out good with that dude! lol No homo of course. I used those exact same LED 194's for the map lights on my car. They are decently bright.

As for the 30 spline D-30, you'll see a lot of pissing matches on it around the forums. Most people will say to stick with the standard so it's easier to get a trail spare.

Yeah I just decided even though that they are free, I don't think they ain't worth it.

But if I got a dana 44 for front and narrowed it, the shafts will fit. So I am still undecided on it lol.

I plan to buy 4 more of same bulbs to put in my maps next.

For one and half year I have owned my jeep, the fan blower only worked in 4 setting. I just never really paid attention to it since it wasn't on my priority list. I just casually mentioned it in other thread and one forum member pointed out that there's a fan blower resistor mounted inside the hvac ducting on passenger side under the dash. "Thermal fuse" supposedly was burned out.

Bought new one for 33 bucks and now it's working like its supposed to be! My girlfriend gonna be thrilled lol.

I'm gonna save the old one and see if I can solder new fuse on it and save it as a spare.

Now while I was in the area and I popped off the glovebox and I noticed there's a relay there. I m wondering what it is for?

Those LEDs look nice! Good job. Nice to see you get that blower fixed, lol. Seems like you didn't know about that issue with the XJ's until today!

Lol yeah well I just never really put a priority on it lol.

It was a sweet day at work... I asked my boss if I could buy a stick of 2x6 tubing and he said I could have it for free. So I decided to clean up the shop and organize stuff as a favor.

This 24' length is enough to make two sliders, a rear bumper, and a transmission cross member, and I have 4 feet left... Probably gonna use it as a tire carrier swing beam or something.

What would be better for sliders? 2, 3, or 4 tubes that bolt on the frame?

I'm debating whether to make my tranny crossmember a single piece or a three piece design...

My RK 3 link have seperate mounts that doesn't use the crossmember, it probably would be simpler to have a single crossmember, but I was thinking about servicing the trans. Would it be more easier if it was a 3 piece?

4 that are welded would probably be best

So youre building your own crossmember? I can't picture how the 3 piece would look...I would think keeping 1 crossmember would be a simpler approach.
