Fixed the trackbar issue I was having on the 97 XJ.... replaced the old stock tail lights on the WJ with the Altezza Blackouts. Damn they look sexy with tinted windows. Removed the accesory driving lights from the 99 XJ's bumper, trying to decide where to mount on the Beast... that enough for the day?

LOL!! the only one I didn't touch is the TJ I am trying to sell.

Went and picked up head light covers and new lights. Had a meeting with a rock yesterday. Will change them and install tomorrow. Did you know that you can get H bulbs already in the sealed unit for the same price as the bulbs and no conversion kit needed.

I was pleased by how the snow was not any sort of obstacle to my Jeep, a little annoyed at how much of an obstacle it was to other people (either in fact or in their minds), and quite annoyed at how much of an obstacle those other people were to me and my efforts to get things done.

Oh...and I bought a Warn 9.5ti with synthetic line off of Wheels. No way I could afford anything other than a budget winch if I bought new right now, and I'm more than happy to overlook a few scuffs on the housing.

Almost got stuck with the jeep because I got too close to the sholder snow bank and it sucked me in, should have had it in 4x.  I was impressed though at how well the mudders handle the snow.  The back alleys in 2x were no issue.

I figured if I go in 2wd I still have 4wd before I need to bust out the shovel; that and I was more or less playing around to see how far I could go in 2wd.  I agree with the awd grand though, awd is nice, especially with heated seats.

Pulled the YJ seats out of the 2A today in my unheated single car garage.  Got half the tub floor brushed and ready for primer, going to finish and Tremclad black on top of the primer.  Reinstall the stands for the seats, then toss some black leather power ZJ seats on top (hopefully they're heated too).

Once that is done, gotta try and fit the bench in the back....maybe I'll use the 60% of the 60/40 fold-down.

I picked it up from the shop. 13 years and the handle and latch have had enough, just worn out. Very reasonable price for a new latch and handle, plus taking the other doors apart and adjusting and lubing.

so the city of calgary scraped the street  and left a 3' high pile of huge chunks  :o of driven on snow all the way down my street and blocked in a lot of cars including mine and my neighbors driveway >:( >:( >:( . so as i was throwing it back out onto the street i got an idea, i'll crush it with my jeep ;D ;D . so as i was doing it a stupid cop tried to give me a ticket  >:( for driving the wrong way on the wrong side of the street  :P  . so i said hell no if the city is going to block my driveway i will put all this snow right back where it was, in the middle of the street. OR i will just crush it where they put it so i could use my driveway. well he said just be careful and after he thought about what i was doing he said not a bad idea  8) and i'd be fumed if the city did this to me too. so today i used my jeep as a snow chunk crusher ;D ;D

took the YJ for a spin today, Iroks LOVE the deeper snow and HATE the slick spots. even the slushy spots lol it goes where it wants.  it was fun though, cause those tires throw snow beans.... onto the roof and at poeple behind me. i have to figure out some sort of flap system for it (or buy a tow rig and trailer it)

Loaded the BBq, heater and 3 propane bottles for our new years day run.

Also mounted a droor type tool box in the back so I don't have to dig through the loose hand held unit anymore.

Aired the tires back up, funny how I'm always too lazy to air them up at the end of the trail. No wonder it drives different on the way home. ::)
