didnt even do it lol.. i wanted to keep stock gauge and then have the after market one but then didnt feel like ordering the part that goes into the rad hose, so i was going to jus use the aftermarket one and plugs in the stock sensor hole in the back. so in order to take that sensor out the valve cover has to come off so the socket will fit on the sensor. so dd all that. pouring sweat and somehow cut my knuckle open. but did all that and the sensor hole was too small. so ill have to do it th original way like i planned it. so put it all back together. just went to walmart and got a new headunit because i wanted one that had an aux port, and this one has a usb also. so going to do that eventually, and wire up some sony speakers i still have from my civic and maybe put em under or in the dash? idk lol ill find a spot. need speakers inside so i can take the doors off. but yea it sucked

Went wheeling today. Just my jeep. Friend took some poser photos and I'll upload them soon. Went through some four wheeler trails after I almost got stuck in a mud pit. Had to back out jut because I realized I shouldn't try it alone. Keep kinda gave me the reminder as soon as I entered the hole it kicked outta four wheel and stalled itself fml. Soooo just took it through some trials. My brush guard on the front bumper did alot of work today lol

nice build man... here's an idea for you for the floor drain plugs... someone on here uses them, and I know from doing minor plumbing stuff that they work good...

so i plan on going doorless really soon, even though summer is almost over :/ so needed to relocate my speakers, didnt want to use the stock ones because i had some good sony ones laying around for the last year so i tried finding a spot to put them, the little kicker panel where your feet go wasnt deep enouigh so couldnt put them there and on the dash or glovebox area they were too big and didnt fit so i used a spot on the backseat cupholder thing. i wanted to cut a hole out and mount them nicely in the plastic below where i mounted them but there wasnt enought room; as in it being deep enough for the speaker. so just kinda rigged it up and they hold fine and are sturdy so its not a probelm. when i get a headliner i think ill make a sound bar anad mount the speakers above my head or just use new speakers. the more speakers the better right ? heres some pics

I like what your doing with round 2. Keep up the good work. I know the pain of having 2 projects. I have an 03 TJ and a 98 XJ. Both of them seem to fight for attention.

hey, I've had this same problem with my track bar... there's a slot to access the nut, you just have to turn the wrench sideways (perpendicular to the face of the nut) and slide it through the slot and then you can turn the wrench (paralell to the face of the nut) and then get your wrench on there. It's a pain, but you can do it.
