One: Got brand new Duralast Flex wipers
Two: Rewired front left speaker. Ran a positive and negative wire straight from head unit to left door speaker.

Future plans:

One: Fix battery terminals. They are both corroded. It costs like 2-3 dollars.
Two: Fix Rear wiper motor.
Three:Fix left power window.

It was used in police jeeps to keep lights, etc running and to keep the coolant flowing quicker.
It helps with alot of stuff though, kicks up alternator output for jumping, inverters, winches, etc. Can also be used if you have OBA to make it pump a little quicker.

My plan is to use it in the mornings for warmup... Its cold out.

Started on my hitch... figured out that It's not exactly the right one for my jeep, but it will work fine.

Hmmm.... try adjusting the ebrake tensioner underneath... will take some of the slack out of the handle and give you a little more confidence that your brake is gonna hold on a hill.

That's what I had to do to mine. Made a big difference. I also screwed the bottom of the cup holder to the console. It was too loose for my liking with just the two top ones. It's a lot more solid now.

Changed the starter on the briarwood ( I hate working under non lifted vehicles) Then I backed it into a tree and messed up the brake light, hatch bumper and rear side of her. Im such an idiot.

Pulled it out of the garage and took it for a test drive. Other than a couple turn signals my rescue seems to be a success :-)
