Default Suches Ride

Longshot4612 invited me to his club's ride today and it was a ton of fun. We went down old forrestry roads up in Suches, Georgia with about 7 jeeps (4 Wranglers, 3 XJ's) and I had a blast.

Lots of pics and vids....

Started work on my CB setup today. I installed the mount behind the passenger light and wired the coax up to the front under some of the trim. I'll probably put the radio in tomorrow whenever my antenna comes in, and I'll fab a mount at some point. Cheers.

Went riding with some guys from school up in Helen, GA on Tray Mountain. Installed the CB stuff after exams ended, but will get better pics of it later.

Dang, I need to update more. Anywho, since that last ride I've been a couple out more times and gotten a minor bit of stuff done.

Let's see. For Christmas I got some rocker sliders from Brooks' Concepts on Ebay, and me and my dad spent many laborious hours putting them on.

I'm happy with how they turned out, even though we had to improvise on the driver's side due to where the previous owner had dented the door and rocker panel.

Cool

Well onto more pictures. I found my favorite Cherokee (and realistically the only other lifted one in my area) one night and got a pic. I saw her at the Georgia Truck and Jeep Show last June for sale and since then see her from time to time. I'll be honest and say that I was heavily influenced into getting my XJ because of this white Jeep.

Afterwards, I went with some friends from the Hall County riding club to Suches, Georgia on a dayride and took some shots.

Gearin' up:

It took forever to clean

And now where I'm at now. I got two KC Daylighter's for Christmas but didn't want to put them up without two more lights on top, since I thought it'd look silly. Anywho, Easter came around and two KC fog's were given unto me, so I got them mounted all together. I haven't drilled or wired them in yet, so they're just up there for now, but I'm currently figuring out how the heck I'm gonna do my setup. Any suggestions will be greatly admired!

Looks good!

You're going to need a light wiring harness to run those bad boys. You can buy the 2-light ones off ebay for about 30 bucks. (i'm sure you could pay more elsewhere if you're into wasting money...) Got one running my 2 hellas up front and works great. Not sure what draw those lights are, but you could prolly run 4 of them on a 2 light harness without a whole lot of issue.

Do you have any auxillary lighting in the rear on the rack? maybe run 2 in back with a toggle?
