Got a chance the other day to finally swap out my track bar. As of now, everything has been replaced on the from end since last March. From control arms to hubs. My steering has been completely changed and I feel like I’m driving a different Jeep!
I also made a video on the pros of a new...
Finally got around to re routing my intake hoses under the hood. I ended up taking my spectre cowl intake and cutting the filter part out of it. Then took a flex tube at each end from the intake to the snorkel. Doesn't look too great, but it'll do.

Tonight I installed more lights in the rear of the jeep. The hatch lights are more external than I'd like, so I put the same lights I used under the hood in the top trim piece of the rear hatch. They ended up being pointed a little higher than I wanted, but it's much better than before...
I bought a new stove.
I changed out my rear door mini windows because the felt rail was RUSTED.
Then. Coolest of all. I finally wired up my under hood lights. I tapped into the stock gravity switch so they come on when I open the hood. Super stoked about it.

For the trailer, I'm almost debating on starting a new thread on it.. it will probably be a slow process, but a fun one. Here's some photos of that party.
I was lucky to snag some matching parts the other day. Even tho I'll probably color match with my jeep. Another hatch to put on the...
Haven't posted in a while. Here's some goodies I took care of.
Installed my shackle boxes. With new 3.5" leafs and 1.5" shackles. Doing so, I completely eliminated my rear "Klunk" and change the way it rides completely.
Aye. Still grindin. Threw on my JCR kit. Rusted it out. I'm different. I'll be needing a stabilizer, it's a little wavy.
During the install I found 2 of my NEW hub studs were popped out. Had to get a new hub and lugs.
Got my HD relocation boxes today. Need to make time to get them done...
Now. Ever since catching this "bug" I've dreamt of having an off-road trailer. An overland addition where ALL of my gear, home would go. After 2 years of dreaming... I came across this:
$160 later and I now have my jeep body to cut in half to make an overland tow package. Stay tuned for that...
