Disconnected the PCV line from the airbox and put a separete filter on it, so it stops dumping black crap into my throttle body.

Tried to figure out where my p0456 small evap leak is. Cleared the code after inspecting and tightening the gas cap. I guess if it comes back I'll replace it, clear it again, and see if the code comes back again.

This morning I let one of our friendly Ga state troopers search it... Pulled me over for a head light being out. Pulled over 2 times in 24hour for the same problem. Definitely stopping at autozone on the way home to pick up a set of dang headlights. I've been pulled over in my Jeep more times than I was ever pulled over in my lowered and turboed Honda CRX.

Rebuilt the leaf pack with some Dakota springs, new rear brake shoes, Nighthawk bulbs, fix the contacts on the brake light switch and readjusted the headlights from the extra lift in the rear. From the ground to the bottom of the fender was 36.5" in the front and the rear was 33" in the rear, after we installed the bastard pack it was the same in the front but the rear was up to 36". It rides much nicer now.

I had my muffler heat shield come off and start rattling against the muffler and driveshaft, so I removed it, and removed the small metal nuts that originally held it in place. 4 of the 5 came off with no problem, but the 5th was installed at an angle and was almost impossible to remove. I eventually had to cut it in half and wrench the hell out of it to get it off.

Wired up my 6 roof rack mounted spotlights. Wired my rear facing reversing spotlights. Nearly finished the nudge bar mounted spots but ran out of time.
Will finish them one evening this week.
Then to mount and wire my amber led strobe recovery lights on the roof rack.
Will post some pics of my Jeep soon.
