Gas idiot light, I like the name. You should have at least 50mi on that light.

What's the deal with your headlights? You have those extra powerful beams in there or somethin?

Too bad a honda wasn't there to help you, one good tug from one of those got me out

I was stuck a lot like you were.

Nobody ever choked to death swallowing his pride.

I like the lights, look nice and intense.

AirCruiser where does your jeep have the Gas dummy light? I am sitting with 26mi to go on my overhead console and I still have no dummy light. I have never seen one either but I don't let it get much lower than a 1/8 of a tank.

Just finished installing a Thrush welded muffler in the place of my old 4WD hardware brand turbo muffler. The old tailpipe section wouldn't fit and I can't bear how loud and smelly it is now. Very dissappointed. Sooo, I guess the next hour or so will be spent putting the old exhuast back on, and posting my now slightly used Thrush on craigslist for a loss. Damn.

Maybe pop a little extra gas in a carry-tank and see? Doing this once won't hurt and it's good to know how much you got until you're out-out.

1) Changed oil & filter.
2) Emptied ashtray.
3) Might rewire CB directly to battery and clean up underhood wiring later.

Went outside, stared at it for a really long time, thought about addons.

Noticed that my bumper is sitting off-canter about 1.5" to the left of the rest of the vehicle. And it's a stainless steel aftermarket bumper. I think I bent my frame.

I don't even want to bother with it now. I wanna go get a new one (cry)

Took about 80,000 pictures of my front bumper and posted them on here to figure out if it's bent or not.
Fixed a leak in the radiator hose. (just a badly seated line).
Really, really thought about installing some lights.
