Did a smokey burn out with my 36s and wondered where all that power came from!? Then realized I bumped it into 2low when detailing it.
Now I want a turbo......

I almost gave up on her. My NSS gave me a world of issues. This morning I parked up too fast and when I went to start her at work days end she didn't care to start at first. After cycling the gears failed I tried slamming Into park and turning key at same time. That worked lovely 
gotta clean it up one day plus yesterday's puddle run killed my radio. Gotta check grounds and fuse

Put new plugs and wires. The existing plugs had a rounded electrode and near a .070 gap, new NGK plugs made a huge difference!
Also I've had the jeep for 16 months now, the temp an oil pressure gauges have never worked! When I was doing the plug swap I noticed a electrical plug hanging that turned out to be the oil pressure, after some exploring the temp wire was simply unplugged also, I felt like a dumbass for not looking into sooner considering they were simply unplugged!!!
