Finished my rear trackbar bushing install, then went to the boneyard and got me some fuel injectors from a pair of Dodge Neons, got some little trim things, went back home and replaced the stripped stud on the right rear. Wife got home and we had to go shopping for our beer and dry goods.

picked up a set of PIAA 540's NIB off craigslist for $100(i think they were stolen). Then installed them as my secondary fogs. My main fogs are PIAA 520's and it's all mounted on my JCR winch bumper. I'll post a pic when my girlfriend doesn't have my jeep at work.

Now it's time to upgrade my battery cables. Where's the best place to buy cable or should I buy preassembled cables that are just larger? Please pm with responses thanks

drove 100+miles with it today and only used a bit over a 1/8 of a tank. Its slow as hell on the highway but gets great gas mileage even with the 33s.

Swapped the rear door speakers out, removed the sunroof sunshade so I can repair and recover it, went back to the boneyard and picked up a left front fender that even matches my paint color.

Guys,
I am new to this forum and was not sure where to post this, so I apologize, but I came outside to find a leak at the driverside rear tire of my jeep. Not sure what it is. Maybe hydrolic fluid? Can anyone help?

Thanks

Either gear oil or brake fluid. Axle seal or wheel cylinder/brake caliper or rear brake line junction block is loose.

You guys will love this one. Can of dark deck stain leaking from inside the rear cargo area. Explains why I was confused and couldn't tell what kind of fluid it was. I think I need a vacation...

I think I would rather have an axle or brake fluid leak than the smell and mess of deck stain in my Jeep.
