Yeah its a lot easier than putting in a taurus fan like everybody always does for some reason. My jeeps not a dd so it doesnt get driven much in the winter. When it does its just to go wheelin and the windows are down anyway so keeping it warm isnt really my main concern.

I made 6 of them with the leftover tube I had from my bumpers and sold them all for 50 each :thumbup:

I havnt ran a swaybar in 3 years. It sits in the driveway 99% of the time. The only time it gets driven on the road is to/from the trail and if its over an hours drive, it gets trailered.

my 2001 XJ had a very very loose center console...took it apart and found the plastic brace was broken in several places. So I made a steel one and she is solid now!

I Tried to do that once but, I got horrible screeching sound caused by the ground loop with my jeeps radio. I found that with a good EQ petal and an power filter for the amp, it reduced it a little, but not much.

Yeah I didn't have the money for this mod but if i did the active control on my bass would greatly help plus my EQ on my head unit would eliminate most external sounds.
