Brother and I tried out geocaching this weekend, and we ended up finding some jeep trails! Once the snow melts I'll be back.

Installed rebuilt 703 injectors. Definitely noticeable power increase over the stock injectors with over 180,000 miles.

98 and down is 703, 99 and up is 784. I think I read somewhere that some 98s used 784s, but not mine. I think the difference was the electrical connector, and the 703s were exactly the same as the stock injectors

Here is my kayak/fishig pole rack complete. I ran out of time to put my j racks and kayak on top, but this is the finished product. I put a berkley fishing pole rack on it. It sits about a 1/4" lower than the OEM cross bars. Very sturdy.
What do you think?
How did you bend the metal on the gutter mount brackets to curve up under the gutter? I need to make a couple for a light bar.

I used a torch, hammer, bench vise, and then a grinding wheel.

Thanks man. I loved the light and harness upgrade. The only problem I had was the relays. They kept failing. I went to the junkyard and got a bunch of relays from Hondas and haven't had a problem since.
