Took my front tires to Discount Tire today to have all the mud cleaned out of them and have them remounted. They spent over an hour cleaning all the mud out of the one I rolled off of the rim last month. They wrote the ticket up as 2 flat repairs and did not charhge me a single penny.

Took her out in the great Northern Virginia blizzard today... 20" or so, which is a LOT for us! Pulled out a late model Toyota Tacoma from the ditch around noon - first time I had a chance to really use my JCR bumper!

Only bad part - broke my rear window wiper sweeping snow off.. Crud!

Still, a great day. I love my Jeep - even bone stock, she plows through snow like a champ!

I had my oil changed to Castrol 20w-50 High Mileage and got rid of all my engine noise and brought my oil pressure guage back up.

Default Allmost finished wiring...

I installed 4 switches into the overhead console. One switch for the Arc lights and the rest for future use. I ran a dedicated, fused 12V supply, to the switches and used Cat-5 cable to feed the control voltage to the relays.

I am hoping to here from somebody with ideas that has tied an auxiliary similar to this into the door chime module so that I do not come back to a dead battery some time… I didn’t want to tie the relay distribution into the acc/run circuit because there are times I may want just these lights on.

Installed my new Iron Rock double-shear track bar. DW is officially GONE now, and I couldn't be happier.
