Bougt 12 litres of mobile 1 and 2 wix filters and came home and then though it was way to cold to change oil on the girlfriends and my TJ.  Screw it, maybe after the Daytona 500 I will think about it.   And screw all ya with heated garages.

I installed a CB radio!  My first "modification" and I think it looks pretty awesome and I can't wait to see how she works out on the trail. 
HUGE thanks to Justin from Nine Industries for donating his time, tools and knowledge to help me get this done.   We were able to get the CB installed with little to no difficulty.  The only issue we ran into was ditaching the sub-woofer wiring harness and wires from the center console so we could take it out to install the radio.

lets try this again...
We wired the CB to a "piggy back fuse" and used to sub-woofer port so that even when the vehicle is off the CB still gets power. Simple, clean and out of the way.

I wanted the Cb to be in an area that was easily accessable but also somewhat hidden, so behind the centre console seemed like the best spot.

For now the cup-holder will serve as my handset holder until I can get a mount for it as well as decide where I want it to be mounted.

Thanks again to Justin, he really knew what he was doing and we had a great time working on this together.

Why wouldn't you just wire it to your battery, instead of a piggyback fuse?
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.

To be honest, WAY less work. Ive always run my cb's in that fashion. My theory is I need to talk to the guys ahead of me and behind me in a trail ride. I have never noticed excess "noise" from that location nor does it cut back on the range.

I am NOT a wiring guy. And I dont pretend to be. I've installed fog lights, cb's, tail lights, etc. But hey if it works, why knock it?

Heck Im still running my light forces to my stock fog light wiring lol

One day I'll upgrade.

Actually I forgot Kyle, I have an adhesive mic mount you can have. Remind me on Thursday and we'll put it on.

Looks good Kyle.

Mounted up my front skid and got a compressor. Not a fancy schmancy ARB but it does the trick in good time and I have lifetime no questions warranty on it.

Changed the rear diff oil in my 93.



found this



Said some four letter poetry




Not sure if the bolt holding the pin sheared or the pin broke out.


Then swapped the whole diff out with a spare that I had.

Hi everyone, I'm new to jeeping, i use to quad a lot but now i own a 2000 jeep Cherokee. A buddy of mine mentioned giving it a lift kit but said to do it cheaply you can use hockey pucks. Is this actually possible and if so would you think its a good idea.
