Light bar with three direction lights. Built the storage shelf from plywood and covered it with some ACU tarp material. Made a sleeve cover that mounts on top of the spare and then attached a molle vehicle panel onto it. Put in a rifle rack which holds my shovel and axe. Installed the cargo netting and then used a bunch of my molle pouches and attached them.

I took my front dirveshaft out to isolate a noise. I can't think of this being anything other than a bad u-joint.

Took my wife's WJ out today so she could go to the dentist. After finding out she needs a root canal, the jeep broke down. It starts and then shuts right back off. It had half a tank of gas, but now shows empty. After it shuts off the gas light is on, security key light, check engine light, and I think the abs light. Even if i hit the gas it still dies. I'm going to check the fuses and swap out the relay here shortly. Fuse is good and I swapped out the relay...no help. The fuel gauge never moves from E and the fuel light is on. It appears to have fuel pressure...I had someone start it as I pushed in on the fuel rail valve.
Any ideas before I get it towed 20+ miles?

Well...I give up. While trying to trouble shoot it I noticed that the oil, battery, and temp gauges don't work either. Unless someone has any ideas...I'm going to say it's the computer again. A couple of years back it would randomly shut off. It turned out to be the computer would forget the security keys. Tomorrow ill have it towed to the dealership. A bottle of jack should help me make it through tonight.
