It is driving very well actually! She pulls a little to the right but not enough to bug me. I just need to get my gears in because the sluggishness of the 4.10's with 37s are starting to bug me.

That's awesome! I think mine pulls a little too.

I've been really busy with school lately but I did find some time to clean the engine bay a little bit and get a car wash.

I am seeing the CB you installed more and more in JK's. How do you like it, if you've been able to use it yet at all?

I've used it a couple of times with my buddies and it's pretty clear, I think we were less than a mile or so apart though. It is definitely loud enough, at least for me, to where I don't need an external speaker. Once I tune it with an SWR meter, I'm sure my range and clarity will be better though.

Awesome! Let us know how it works out once it's tuned. :thumb:

I got some truck bed lights for under $20 at Walmart so I decided to put them to good use as rock lights and they are decently bright!

I don't have the box anymore but in the box, was 1 "show" light (to show how bright they are) and then 2 strands of 4 lights that I ended up just cutting apart because the wire in between is only about a foot long. The lights are about 1" x 2". Next time I'm in Walmart I will try to take a picture of the box.

Just thought I'd show you guys how I normally keep my trunk looking, yes it takes up a lot of space but it is fairly functional. The cooler is only in there if I'm going on a trip or for some reason need it. I've got a tool box with some miscellaneous tools and then a Bostich mechanics tool set that came with its own box. Then some boots, a small first aid kit, and my fishing things (tackle/ rods). Some of this stuff always stays in the back and then some things get switched around depending on the season and such.

So nice and tidy! Looks like you've got room for more if needed too

Thank you! I also figure that if I'm going on a trip and it's just 2-3 people, I can fold down the smaller side of the rear seats and put the cooler there for more room.

Just installed the Grabars handles and I'm am very happy with them but boy were they a hassle to install at first. They are super sturdy and look to be well made.

A buddy and I got a little dirty yesterday in a little Iowa trail. One of the very few.

My 1350 Adams drive shafts came in and man are these things beefy! I'm excited to get them on and test them out!

Sweet! The one time in life when you don't mind getting the shaft.

Here's just a little baby flex where I parked the Jeep the other day.

I'm about to go pick up my Jeep from a shop that put my 5.13 gears in. Anything I should expect/ ask the guy about?

Most gear manufacturers have a similar break-in period, just go easy on them for the first 500 miles. Here's one from Yukon:

If you want the old gears, ask the shop for them. I made some garage clocks out of mine.

Yup I'm getting my old gears back and he did say I need to break them in in the first 500 miles along with a fluid change after that.

Finally grew the balls to trim my fenders and I must say that it totally changes the look of the Jeep!
