Headlight testing. Bulbs are sylvania silver stars I think (marked performance instead of halogen). I installed a relay harness and removed my rusty headlight switch and foot dimmer. Got some pin diagram help and made some jumpers. Let there be light!

Took the pups out to Hidden Falls earlier today. My oldest, Baxter definitely wasn't a fan and puked towards the end. Elsa didn't seem too interested. Didn't do anything too crazy since I didn't know how they would fare. Will definitely go back.

Spent the afternoon with my daughter putting a mini light bar on her 2000 TJ. I had bought it for her last year, but found shock issues that were more important to address before she went off to college.
  It went together really well one I added the water proof power connector to the light and harness, and we got the front bumper off to secure the bolts on the underside. |

$20 TJ bumper, $5 of hardware and some old polyurethane bushings sliced up. It’s solid. I’m debating chopping 6 inches off each end

The steering box replacement is under a TSB not a recall so unless a customer complains about the issue per the TSB there's nothing to fix. There is also a months long shortage of JL/JT steering boxes so again if the previous owner never complained about it and just wrote it off as a "Jeep thing" there would be nothing for the dealer to fix, and a dealer isn't going to deadline a vehicle for months that they can move tomorrow. A few of my friends have had this issue now on JLs and one JT. The guy with the JT somehow got the dealer to scrounge up a steering box in less than 2 weeks instead of the initial 2 months minimum they were originally telling him. Still didn't fix his problem but the truck had less than 1k miles on it before he was adding a 4 inch lift and larger tires/wheels. The factory tires still had the nubs on them. So no he's in the Mod Cascade again to upgrade to Long Arms to try to alleviate the issue. |

Since I already had a YJ booster and master, I Replaced the master cylinder with a dodge 3/4 ton, bent new brake lines to the prop valve, replaced the rear bleeders and front calipers. Replaced the booster check valve, Bled it a bunch... still having brake issues. Probably need to adjust my push rod or vacuum bleed it. Well I needed the garage space for another project so I did the shuffle and moved the CJ outside. And then it started raining 🤦♂️

Patriot Blue? I don't know if they still do this, but if you email Jeep customer service with your VIN and request a build sheet, they will email it to you. I did this when I bought a used XJ about 10 years ago, found out it was originally equipped with keyless entry (I only got 2 keys when I bought it, no fob). |

I like it. Yup! Texas Vehicle Exchange did the work for the 1st owner. It's Dupont Kevlar paint. The pics are from the for sale ad, I drove it home, washed it, changed the oil, and pretty much put it away for winter. It does have a bit of a glisten when it is clean. I have a friend who bought a JK 3 weeks after I bought mine in "Tank Green" of the same paint, it is dull, like you would expect a military vehicle, I like mine better. There is some rust on the DV8 bumpers that I don't like, but I do like the bumpers. I don't know what I am going to do with that, but I will drive it around this spring/summer and see if I really wanted this thing, or if I don't really use it. I have never owned a 2nd vehicle, so we will see how it goes! |
