Update:

I bought a 5 gallon Gerry can and I tied it on the roof basket. Gerry can is empty. I also painted my stock diff covers red even though I bought some Solid diff covers. (Don't have them yet) I had a car show to go to yesterday and though it would look nicer like that.






The Beast and yours truly @ the car show.

That is one hell of a jeep and definitely came a long way. I wish it was easier to mod WJs without breaking the bank. Absolutely beautiful Jeep.

I haven't picked up the covers yet, I will go tomorrow. In other news, I was finally able to get a cable to connect my antenna to my CB.

Here's a picture of the CB. (taken from Google)




I will go drive around tomorrow and will see if I need to tune the antenna.

Here's one taken in my Jeep tonight. (didn't come out perfect)

Alright, not much to say other than I got some work done on the Jeep this week. I still have to change some ball joints (one side) and the trac bar bushings. It should be done by next weekend. If my mechanic has time, I'll tell him to install those diff covers at the same time.

I did some minor stuff to it: changed the driver's side headlight surrounding, the turn signal reflector and installed a used rear wiper arm as everything was cracked/broken since I bought the Jeep. Now, I'll be able to see better when it rains/snows. All I have to do after is some maintenance before the winter. (plugs, wire, cap and injectors)

If I have some money left after, I might check for some new or used 33 inch (or 35?) mud tires. I find my 31's too small since the lift. lol

You still didn't install the diff covers LOL. Cmon I did it myself in 1 hour. Just teasing, glad to see more work is being done on the jeep. Man 33s would look sweet, I'd be so jealous. So don't do it haha.

Man, I don't even have time to do anything on the Jeep anymore. Having 2 kids and a new position at work (manager), takes all my time. Hopefully by Tuesday night the jeep will be fixed and then I will be able to take it offroading. If my mechanic has time, he'll do those covers. Anyways, I found another spot to go crazy in the mud and it's legal too, so my next pictures should be taken over there.

Alright, so Jeep is finally fixed!!! It drives way better then when I first got it 2 years ago. Everything in the direction is new (ball joints, tie-rods, trac bar bushings etc...) All I have to do now is an alignment. I will schedule that tomorrow. I will have new pictures to post by this weekend.


P.S.: Covers are not on yet, but should be on in 2 weeks. It going back to my mechanic for some maintenance. (spark plugs, wires etc..)
