I just changed my idler pulley and the negative battery clamp. Crappy universal one from autozone was big.

Front end sounds a lil better with the new pulley but still have a bad metal scrapping sound while driving cold at 1k-2k rpm. Not hearing it whiling standing still and revving the engine. At a lose right now.

Yes... I built up a circuit using a dual usb port and I must say; I can't find a single usb charger that charges nearly as fast as this one. My dead phone battery can fully charge in 15 minutes. Now, I'm just curious if a clock panel would have the room; if I ever find one.

That's a cool idea, i was thinking of getting power inverter to do the same thing, how hard of a job was it? Got a write up on it? I'm sure many people would be interested since most of us have cellphones and iPods it would be handy.

it takes so much away from the front end. LOVE the flat flares. paint the grill and headlight buckets satin black. then she would look SUPER KILLER.

I would have to agree

Hollowed out rule 5 and stuck a Subaru STI resonator on and it sounds exactly the same as the stock exhaust...

I think the brush guard matches the flat flares.

Haha! I didn't like the brush guard at first, but it's sorta grown on me. Looks like she's wearing nerd glasses. It's temporary, anyway, until I decide and get a bumper upgrade. I want to hang some aux lights on her in the meantime and I'd rather have it on the Jeep than sitting in the garage.

I screwed up by painting the mirrors and intend to paint them black again someday. As for the grill, I told the painting guys I wanted the inside grill to stay black, but I guess they flaked. I'll paint those, too, when I do the mirrors.

It was just me in the Jeep thank god. Tried to miss a deer on a narrow backroad and my passenger tires got off the road and slid across the street and rolled down a hill

Man. Glad your OK.

Maybe more people need to go deer hunting? Seems a lot of people having deer problems lately.

Anyhow...

Off to go work on the Heep.

Report coming this evening.

Got a window for her. Shes all prepped ready to have her new window installed when my father in law gets home from the drag strip.

Fitted a new radiator top hose and new coolant. Then dropped her off for the MoT (inspection). Even I could hear the blowing back box...let's just hope there's no more welding this year!
