Put in the gas tank yesterday. My old one did haw a hole in it. Replaced the one sensor that makes the electric fan kick on because I thought that was for the temp gauge. Then replaced the one sensor for the temp gauge and it shows my jeep is running realllyy hot but the fan doesn't kick on. Maybe temp gauge isn't accurate?? Think I'm going to put in a mechanical temp gauge and wire up a toggle for my electric fan. :/

Temp gauge still reading hot. Measured temp with a laser thermometer thing and when gauge said above temp in pic^^ I was at 190 on the thermostat housing cover. So going to install a new gauge soon then one day make a toggle for electric fan. Good to know she's not overheating though. Hopefully getting inspection tomorrow.

Well yesterday I bled my brakes. Back left is clogged I think because no fluid came out and didn't have any brake cleaner or anything to spray it with. I'll do it eventually. But then was painting things when I realized I forgot to tighten the front left bleeder. Luckily I didn't run out of fluid but the bottle it poured out into overflowed so now I have a nice brake fluid stain in the driveway. But brakes feel alot smoother on the pedal before it was really choppy. Also blacked out side marker lights. Realized I'm missing a lot of screws and the front passenger side headlight plasticbracket thing is broken same with the orange cover. So need to make another junkyard trip for little stupid things like that. Angry eyed my headlights. Realized my headlights are different. One is new. And blacked out the orange lights on my front bumper. Today or tomorrow trying to take It for inspection. Hopefully she passes. Then thurs maybe blacking out brake lights.

Went wheeling today at a new place we found. Used to ride dirtbikes there. Also found out electric fan kicks on so doesn't overheat. Never had it kick on before so I was happy.

Went to Pepboys and saw they had some lights there. Picked up some 700's for the top and 500's in between bumper but they were too big so I took em back. Have to get small Rectangles or something to fit in bumper. But had a short in one of the wires and of course my free harbor freight multimeter broke :/ take another pic of how it looks when I get home from work. Also took her fishing yesterday
