I like the 12v/usb set up - much more useful than a cigarette lighter.

The mud flaps look pretty nice, how much were they?

oh, and Happy Birthday

February 2018

I've never been the best at vanity shots but I must say this one is pretty good. Still haven't got 31 inch tires yet but I'm hoping to weld up a custom low profile front bumper next week

Who and what did you go with for the red led lights for the dash? I've had lots of issues with Superbrite and am returning their stuff.

OnWay Light is good. Try them.

I would love too, but they aren't doing anything but white for dash lights right now. I guess they are searching for a new supplier.
I just installed their interior light set and love it.

If you wanted to you could probably just buy the bulbs out right yourself it would be cheaper than buying a so-called kit

OneWay Light doesn't have them idividually. I tried to piece stuff together from SuperBrite, but their stuff is cheaply made, and I'm having lots of problems with my orders. I'm sending stuff back and just looking for a differant supplier of good quality stuff. I know which bulbs I need, I just need some that show up on time, the right bulbs, in the right color, that actually light up.

So I have the tendency to plan things quite out of order the way that they will actually happen. Today I want to share a little bit of my badging plan on the Jeep after it's painted. I want the new badging to look modern but not be a hodgepodge of DIY emblems from the local auto parts store. I've scoured eBay and I'm probably going to spend close to $130 on emblems to get reproductions of real ones used on other Chrysler vehicles. See the images for my layout.




1. 2014 to 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee black side emblems only utilizing the word Cherokee

2. Jeep Wrangler polar grey and white mountain graphic. This one is up in the air I haven't decided whether I'm going to use it or not but I found reproductions of it for $20 a pair.

3. Current generation Dodge Ram black 4 x 4 emblem




4. 2014 to 2017 black Jeep logo

5. Black Dodge Nitro 4.0 emblem

6. Jeep Renegade sport badge




7. 2014 to 2017 black Jeep logo
