Well a couple updates, yesterday I was pulled over for my tail light tint. Didnt get a ticket but I had anticipated this and went ahead and ordered some much brighter LED bulbs to shine through the tint about a week ago. These came today.

Im gonna give them a shot, I also ordered a different set of LED bulbs to put in too, http://m.ebay.com/itm/310808502524?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1, waiting for them to arrive should be here in a day or two. I only ordered them because I think the design would be cool if it shows up through the tint. Whichever works best ill order the amber and reverse to replace the rest of the bulbs. Also some bad news. After work this morning I started her up and she had the dreaded check engine light on. On the way home she was running like she was stuck in 3rd or something for like 10 min, until I pulled over, put her in park, and then turned her off. When I turned her back on she ran fine but the engine lights still on. I got the code read and its a transmission code. Its a P1763; governor pressure sensor too high. So thats my next thing to figure out. =/


Edit: so it sat all day and the light was on when I came to work, went on break and now my engine lights off.

Went home from work and put those led bulbs in. Very happy, so much brighter. I can keep the dark tint on the tail lights and not worry anymore.
Used these off eBay:

Excited for thursday, as of now plans are to get my BB on and install my new (to me) tires. The 265/75/16 tires should fit under there. Theyre not new but more tread then what I have now and I got them for free.

So sitting at work trying to figure out what im doing next to the WJ. Here are a list of things I still want to do.

--exhaust, going thru kolak, 2.5 in pipe, mangnaflow high flow cat, with a flowmaster 70 I think. Idk for sure if ive settled on the 70 want an aggressive sound but not obnoxious.
--some new fuel injectors, a guy from another forum rebuilds them and can get me a set for like 70 bucks.
--a cold air intake, unsure which one. Everyone swears by K&N. But theyre pricey.
--a transgo shift kit
--4in lift. Want long arms, but only going to go short. Realistically I dont wheel her at all, and with the lift itll still only be a here and there thing. So the long arms wouldnt be worth it for me. Might do an RC x-series, or the IRO.
--32 or 33in tires, dunno what will fit yet.
--new shoes, I really want the rockstar xd series wheels.
--an led police light bar in green.
--D ring shackles for the front and one for the tow hitch.
--led tail lights and ccfl halo headlights.
--roof rack.
--some off road lights for the roof rack.
--detail clean the interior and the engine bay.
--paint the jeep black, and bedline the bumpers and cladding so I have a textured look there.
--get the zombie decals on the jeep
--replace the hydraulics for my hood and liftgate.
--replace the rubber window seals along the bottom of the windows.
--replace misc rusted parts like oil pan and what not.

Now I have a list I can work on, so that should keep me busy and my mind on target.

Someone hit the light pole in front of her neighbors house. The pole fell with the street light right in my spot where I park my jeep. The guy left the scene right after. It was a close call. Maybe a 20 min difference in time and id be posting a sad post.

Started putting some of the vinyl decals on since we had one nice day. Only going to put on the decals that are going on the glass. Still painting the jeep in spring.

Went to dinner with my gf a few days ago and decided I was going to do a little minor flexing, it was warming up so I kind of sank and I had to use the gfs phone. Sorry for the poor quality.

Still looking for a lift come tax season. But now I really want a tube bumper for the front of the jeep. Here are a few ideas. What do you guys think? And where can I pick one up? I have a feeling ill have to find a place locally to build it.

A. This is the one I like the most, minus all the lights.

WJ is lookin good, I actually like the third bumper the most. I'm not a huge fan of tube bumpers I don't think they give you enough coverage compared to full steel armor.

Its my DD with mild trail riding so the tube should be just fine strength wise.
