my Jeep is green. quad lights were uber easy. go to your local auto parts store and get a couple 3157 housings (most have gm brand), a couple 3157 bulbs, and at least 6 "T-Taps". then take your brake light housing off. on a piece of paper, trace the 3157 housing so you can cut a template. then trace that template on the back of the bottom of the housing where the rear fogs (euro models only) go. cut it out carefully and plug in your new housing. then take the wiring and using t-taps you can tap into the stock harness without cutting. the computer doesnt care about the extra load so dont worry about getting leds. I would have done a write-up but I dont have a dremel, and my leatherman was in Oregon getting repaired, so i drilled a bagillion little holes with a tiny drill bit and used a razor lol. it took FOREVER, and looks hideous, but it works :)

it's the #1 mod EVERYBODY with a Pat should do! you can even take it further and add a couple more backup lights to the extra clear lenses if you dont have independent turn signals. I may do that later on just to fill it up. Some people even put fog lights in there on a separate switch.

Stereo is lookin' sexy!

FINALLY got my H&R Lowering springs in from Creation! Thanks for the packing peanuts, they exploded all over the place when I ripped open the box lol! I'll give em to my dad for his business.
Its raining here, but I might just say screw it and install the springs early tomorrow morning. Shouldn't be more than a couple hours, but it is a Chrysler product... something is bound to go wrong :p

Mine had t30 torx bolts, just put em back in... they still had quite a bit of locktite left on them. I do actually want to get some flat rivets and silicone them in. I dont like how the bolts stick up. Now I just need to figure out how to remove the calcium build-up on the roof without killing the paint..

AIR HORNZ BABY!!! These fu¢kers are pretty loud lol! Had an old Airmite2 system installed but they were too high-pitched, and the compressor was dying. Wolo claims its maintenance-free, but you have to oil the compressor every now and then per year. I might install the other compressor in line to make em louder...if I can find a good spot.

Oh, I also installed a proper fuse holder after I took the pic, if you noticed the fuse hangin' on the left side...

heres the WOLO stock sound clip (Plays instantly, so adjust your speakers before you click lol)
