Just ordered my new track bar from Andy at Ironman 4x4 Fab. I can't wait to get it. I am so sick of dealing with my garbage Rough Country crap. They have great customer service but IMHO their product has gone way down hill. Don't ask if you can have it because its in the scrap pile. Im really trying to tighten up my front end and Andy's stuff is pure beef!

Not a real big update. Another one of those random things I should have installed a LONG time ago. Got these on a trade. They are Hella Slim 500 driving lights. Was going to go with some fogs but these we on a trade. I ran them into my stock fog light switch. So here they are.

Thursday my battery light came on. Then Friday morning I noticed my dash lights didnt work.

So again this past Friday my Jeep decided to boil over coolant all over the place. I thought I had it all solved the first time. So here is how I got back close to home again:



I was sick of messing around so I replaced everything with the cooling system. Radiator, water pump, tstat, upper and lower radiator hose. Thanks to Jeepcomj we got a bunch done. Also got around to installing an exterior tranny cooler instead of the one inside the radiator.












Replaced the upper part of my airbox since it was cracked. Fixed a leaking vacuum line. Also painted my grill while we were at it because it was super faded. Also took off my kayak rack for the season and threw it on Angela's car. It almost looks naked without it:



After messing with all that, we tried to figure out why my battery light was on and why my dash lights were out. We tried changing the fuse and they kept blowing. That fuse is also the one that runs the rear tail light/ running lights as well as turn signals. We were trying to trace down what kept blowing the fuse. I think I finally traced down why this was all so tonight. While I was working on my rear seats I happen to knick a few wires where the rear seat bottom attaches to. So I have to clean that up and hopefully that fixes everything.

Tonight I got a little further on installing my ZJ rear seats. Also began painting my rear hitch so I can re-install it. Rewster made a comment that he didn't like my custom rust finish so I figured I would paint it while it was out.

Plastic caps are factory. Full aluminum are expensive as hell, and good luck finding a steel core for an open system
