Alright, well, I didn't do my rear bumper yet, but I installed a brand new cb radio. It's nothing fancy (cobra) but it works. I bought a magnetic antenna and mounted it on the roof. It's only 26 inches long, so I'll check if I can get a longer one tomorrow.

P.S.: At the time of the install, my computer wasn't working, so I'll take some pictures later or tomorrow morning and will post them.

I also went mudding a bit. It wasn't that wet, but I managed to get dirty




I had to wash it after though

I hope I dont hurt anyones feeling with my opinion, but stay clear of the Interco Trxus, I bought some because I got a deal on them for m TJ, didnt really care because I was planing on selling it anyway, they did not balance worth a crap, the beads and the sidewalls were poorly made and the BFG mud terrains are usually cheaper and are a decent tire. A friend recently bought some Firestone destination MT and they seemed better made, were a little more noisey. Had Procomp X-terrains and absolutly hated them, Havent had any BFG KM2's yet but I have several friends that love them, I prefer Super swamper TSL, kind of partial to them and the Goodyear MTR, love the boggers they just are not road friendly. Just my 2 cents

Installed a pair of Hella 500 driving lights. I bought those last year for my Patriot and never installed them. I didn't have time to wire them, so I'll try to do it this weekend. Never wired that before so it should be fun!

I went to a friend's house today to fix my t-case lever. It wouldn't go pass 4HI. Well, he knew what the problem was and now it's fixed. I also got that from him at the same time.











It was on a Bronco, but they said it will fit if we modify the mounting brackets. As you can see, he also gave me 2 tow hooks (rated at 10,000 lbs MAX) All this for a big 20$ Now, all I have to do is sand and paint it and then they will install it for me.

Default Factory cup holder

Small, but useful mod. I never understood why some cars came without a cup holder.
