Jeeps dont have side mirrors

 

Swapped out my 55w bulbs in my aux. lights for some 100w bulbs, upgraded fuse and wiring. Man, I thought my aux lights were bright before, it looks like it's daytime now!

 

ordered some Black Rock Steelies

 

A couple days ago (yeah I'm a little slow, haha!) Removed the front air dam and trimmed the bumpercaps.

 

why the airdam?


i bought some more parts today. bought a new idler pulley and serpentine belt. now i have a mes of stuff to put on saturday or sunday

 

Measured the differance in the height of my front coils,called ARB to complain,so they are sending me a "trim packer"to adjust the differance.We will see how it goes.

 

took my front bumper off and made a half bumper for a the winch that i got from my wifes grandparents. took it off of his 44 cj5.

 

[QUOTE=superj;465650]why the airdam?

I decided the airdam (3" wide piece of plastic under the bumper) and the corresponding part of the bumper endcaps looked a little like ground effects. Now the front caps are at the same level with the rears, looks a lot better. Plus I wanted to show off the sexiest part of the XJ, the suspension.

 

Drove it to Waffle House for some delicious egg and cheese biscuits..MMMM

 

heck yeah, lol

getting ready to go out and drain/refill my trans fluid. have a new filter and pan gasket coming in the mail, so i want to get the fluid in now to clean out the trans before i swap the filter and get more fluid for it.

 

[QUOTE=Desert Rat;466015]usually though, the airdam is there to create a certain flow in the air as it is approaching your vehicle. it is usually set to direct air into a lower area of your radiator or create a low pressure area behind the dam to allow the air coming through te radiator to be pulled down instead of backing up behind the radiator and creating an inefficient system.

 

i got everything in for the new cool cluster, and it works. all the lights are good too. i also did my idler pulley and a new serpentine belt. tomorrow i will install my new brake master cylinder, valve cover, and receiver hitch

 

broke out the dewalt 9 amp and said lets do this and everything existing from the firewall back off.... pretty fun

 

this is what we did today.

had to winch twice. the second time i laid it on it's side.

 

i know that now, if you look at the pic you can see the chrome trim piled back form where i took out a tree branch with it right over the driver side door

i look at it like this as long as i think its funny every thing is ok

will haft to get a better pit but like me home made tow points coming out of the bumber
