Finally got my Tablet mount and a OBD-II to bluetooth adapter, so now I can stream live engine diagnostics to my tablet as I drive, also can read engine codes, and lots of other things like GPS and blackbox camera, etc.

Engine Codes (Only the bottom one in green is the current fault, still figuring out what the others mean) :

Finally got my LED conversion completely working after I got the right flasher relay. And... for the first time ever my Jeep is completely legal as in up to code haha. There's about 5" of snow at my house already, looks like it's gonna be a good year!





I made that hitch cover with the plasma cam at my school, it's pretty heavy duty so if i hit anything there'll be a biohazard imprint on it


New Mudflaps:


Also got my BDS adjustable tracbar installed today:

It's an ELM327 OBDii to Bluetooth adapter. You can buy it at a few places around the web including ebay.

Sadly it doesn't. I just bought an older Jeep and wish the same thing. I think OBD I is too primitive of a computer for it.
