Nope... only stuff that should be absent is fog lights if you don't have them.

I believe the format is called "Maxi-Fuse". It's larger than ATC

The fuse box in that pic is missing same fuses mine is. The spot for the 'cooling fan 40A" is right above that green and two yellows.

I think you're reading the diagram wrong dude. Of the Maxi fuses, fuse #4, 40A orange and marked "Radiator Fan" is the electric fan on the radiator. Above the yellow and green fuses, in positions 12 and 13, are fed to the anti-locking brake system when present.

Well I started working on making my cargo area better... I have always been somewhat worried that something would bounce out of the back and hit my daughter when offroading/wreck. Alot of heavy/metal stuff back there.

So I started with this. It cost me 48$ in materials, weighs about 45lbs and held both myself and my grandfather. It will bolt to the floor with 8 bolts (Angle on the bottom). I was going to use expanded metal but it was more than I wanted to spend so I just used some thick fencing I had. I will throw a carpet/rug/rubber on top of the main part. It looks better in person... my phone really takes crappy pics haha.
The back part will stick about 5.5" above the back seat.

It is 42" wide, 18" Tall (excluding back) and 29" deep so it should fill the cargo area nicely.

Next I am going to build some flat drawers for tools/fluids/tow straps that will fit inside it and will attach to it. I then have to find someplace to fit my subs/speakers and make that box.

I like that. Would like something like that to better organize my hunting/XJ gear.

Default License Plate Light

Since my cheap, crappy license plate light decided it no-longer needed to function, I replaced it with another cheap light I found on Ebay.


This one is actually advertised as a small motorcycle/scooter tail/brake light.





When it's off, it's just a smoke-tinted plastic box.





When it's on, it has a row of clear LEDs that face down to light up the plate.





It's wired in to the factory license plate light wiring, to come on with the running lights.





The brake-light wire is connected to my factory 3rd-brake-light, so it functions as such. (since my factory one is hidden by the spare tire)





I siliconed up all the screw holes, and wire hole so it's water-tight.


Total cost = $9.95 with free shipping.

Decided the audio wasn't loud enough so I added an amp for the speakers. Probably blow a few then upgrade them too....

Nope. I have a 35" spare on the rear bumper haha. It fits inside the wheel wells so you might be able to put a spare in there? Im not 100% where it'll fall with the glass as I made it an inch below the top of the seat but eyeballing it, probably level with the glass. Ill find out when the paint dries and I put it in tommorow haha.
