made a set of front sway bar discos (used the rear links, cut and welded to the front link... then used the rear sway bar link mount chopped down...)

WHY was I not warned that cutting sheet metal was so addictive ?!?!?!?!?!
What did you use to mount the vacuum bubble there?

if you have aux lights thats a good mounting point just blank it off before you do switches.

I like that. Maybe when I get some lights I'll cut out a piece wood, cover it in speaker box carpet and mount switches in it. Thanks!

Haha, that's exactly what I was going to suggest... gives you easy access to the back of the switch.. cause god knows if you have an aux switch, you're gonna have problems with it.

Im thinking of doing a custom switch panel over my rear view. Kinda give it a cockpit feel. Figured id go with those heavy duty looking racing switches with the covers on them maybe. Idk got othe stuff in line first lol. But thats a good look too.

Got a check engine light on the way to my grandfather's funeral. P300 & P305 which are random misfires and cylinder 5 misfire. Got tuneup parts today. Hopefully will fix the problem. PO has cheap parts on it so putting on Standard Ignition cap and rotor and Champion copper plugs with Autolite wires. I wanted Accel tuneup kit, but can't wait the time it would take to get it in. Need the Jeep for Monday for work.
