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.

I don’t have any good shots from the side on my phone. It does have a stroked LS that makes almost 600hp so that makes up for some of the inconvenience Attached File Attached File |

Yeah, the LS makes up for a lot. Maybe, someday.
The extra inches of the unlimited with extended version of the half top do make for a good amount of extra room. |

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. |

I picked up this 2013 Commando Green JKU yesterday. One owner, 85k miles perfect interior, unmodded. Had to drive 3 hours to buy it.

Beautiful LJ @Finslayer83
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! |
