I love love love a nice cool breeze while I'm working

And you get the added benefit of being numb when you whack or cut yourself, haha.

Ok, you got me on that one; well I don't mind working in the fl winter but that's because all we get is a week or two of blistering cold then warm enough to ride without the doors on.

I've been subscribed to your page for "well it seems like forever"
Great build. I also have 6.5" 33s and some similiar items. Your page made me now go buy a 24" lightbar because obviously i don't have enough lights :-)
I really need to update my build page since the last time.

Great job documenting all that you've done and I look forward to more upgrades :-)

I'm so ready to see this beast in person. It'll help me decide what lighting mods I'm going to end up going with.

Thank you for the kind words

In lighting, the TruckLite LED headlamps are great. A good 12 or 20-inch light bar mounted somewhere on the bumper makes great additional road light when you're the only one on the road.

Yeah I looked at the links you posted for your lights. That's definitely a top mod on the list. But main priority is a header panel, front fenders. And putting my lift on. Along with all the basics

Yeah, I understand this... Not the being hot any day 'cause I HATE being hot... trust me it's much worse when you're carrying around extra weight. I grew up in South Florida so you'd think I'd be used to the heat... but no, I hate it. Even when I was thin, I'd sweat as soon as I got outside.

We had to drop the tank on our minivan last time we went to KY. Was 3 degrees outside and 31 in the garage... when it's that cold and you smash your hand - it feels like it's going to shatter.

Cool breeze yes... frozen no.

I never use AC, it makes my gas mileage suck lol.

I crack the windows and drive windowless. I'm not ballsy enough to go doorless because there are too many wires in the 97+ door that I don't feel like dealing with.

I just cut them all long enough so I can get an all in one plug one day. And doorless is so much fun. Plus with no blower motor only circulation I get is with the windows down

So now while driving, my Jeep randomly idles at 1000-1200 RPM intermittently. Any ideas?

IAT or MAP sensor on the fritz possibly? I'd check voltage after a cleaning of each sensor

I'm going to clean them and see how they're doing after the fact.
