easy. HAHAHAHA Ive been having issues for three weeks with the alarm. Tried grounding wire under steering column, tried resetting computer, pulling this that and the other, Ive been stranded twice because of it. Yea there are some in this thread but ill see if i can repost them. they were 10 bucks at walmart. I wired them to the back of the 12v outlet so that when the switch turns on they get power and it cuts off with the switch.

Jeep and their cheap, generic wiring.. If you havent spent hours trying to solve an electric issue, you will! Ive been meaning to do a light upgrade for a while now.

Installed my new temp gauge with matching blue. I'm a little concerned with it running at 230 though. Too hot to suite me. I see a thermostat in the near future.

Yea. I'm still gonna drive it because 230 is at the top of the temp range but a thermostat is definitely at the top of the list

Picked these up from Rere1992 today!

4.5 inch BDS coils. Thanks again! First step towards my 4.5 lift. Will get these into the electrolysis tub tomorrow for rust removal and then paint

Did other stuff too.... but that's in my thread.
