Tuned my cb antenna. And god was my swr terrible (over 3.0)! No wonder I'd only get about a quarter mile of range before. Now it works alot better!

Drove down to 4 wheel parts and picked up my Bilstein 5100s. Installed them, surprisingly none of the rear bolts broke or even seized. They are amazing.

X2 I love my 5100s to a point where I won't even look at other brands when these ones start to go. When ya find something that works stick with it!

got my oil changed today. this was probably the first time I've ever not done it myself. though I did it at work, and it only cost me 12 bucks total (including oil, and oil filter) so I'm pretty happy about it.

this sunday I'm picking up a rebuilt NSS which will hopefully fix my transmission problems.

Rough dirt roads feel about the same as paved roads now.

Started installing my "Pre Cut" window tint I ordered off eBay for $20.70. It comes with a lifetime warranty and is Pre cut.

I did have to trim some small edges here and there but I've got to say the tint itself is great, quality seems up to par. However I am NOT a tinter. This was my first go around at tinting and I did make a few flaws when installing but other than that I recommend it to people.

So happy to get rid of my clear windows for some 15% front doors and 5% all others.

Just finished having my spun cat and FlowMaster Super 44 installed. Apparently, the Jeep had a CherryBomb super turbo muffler on it, beforehand. I found out that the cat was on it's way out, while we were in there, too. Hopefully, I will see some overall improvements, from here on out.
