Or sell them all, buy a sports car and get in to road racing! Going fast is way more fun then going slow. It may not be a cheaper hobby though....

I don't think the going fast thing is for me. I get too many tickets with slow vehicles.

Over the weekend I went to a place called Timberfalls 4x4 it's a small park that opened last year. It was fairly small and there wasn't too much there, but it was fun for a day trip and I got some parts from the junkyard he has on property. It has potential to get bigger and better so I'll probably check it out again in a while and see where it's gone.

Ordered something for the Cherokee today. Nothing very special, but I think it's cool. I'll post more when it comes in and I get it installed.

The ordered part came in the mail today. Do I show y'all before I install it or wait till it's in the jeep?

Going after the mostly factory look. Got a switch panel that had the fog light switch since my Cherokee had the blank that wasn't actually a removeable blank. Then got this switch to replace the cheesy toggle switch I have there now.

I am guessing that you are aware of this but going to say it anyway.
The pigtail that was behind the blank from the factory.
The black ground wire is hooked up.
Also if the symbol on that locker switch could illuminate with the headlights on the orange wire is also hooked up.
Couple things I discovered when I put factory type fog lights in my '00 that did not come with them.
Wired like aftermarket ones would be but using the factory switch and bezel makes it so you can't tell.

Unfortunately this one does not have a back light. I haven't found any aftermarket switches so far that are back lit. It does require a ground for the indicator light though. I may try pulling apart a fog light switch and this switch and see if I can swap the faces to have it back lit.

Well I got the cover to fit in a factory switch. Now I just need to see if the light will shine through correctly
