What have you done to your KK lately

Got one of these in the mail today! :BANANA:

It's a Fumoto oil drain valve. It should make changing the oil a snap. Now if only changing the oil filter would be this easy... :jester:

In case anyone is interested in getting one for their rig, the part number for the 3.7L engine is F-106, and it replaces your oil pan plug. (The part number for the CRD is different.) I'll let you know how it works out after I install it.

Finally got pictures of my plasti-dip work. Masking all of those curves is a lot of work so I've only done one side so far. Still trying to decide if I like it enough to do the other side.

Oh yeah, and I finally replaced my air filter.

I think all black Oem rims would look better but it is a cool concept

With all the mods you have done I'm surprised you get that much

I changed the oil and filter and installed a Fumoto oil drain valve. http://www.fumotousa.com/ That should make future oil changes a snap.

The last place to change my oil must have used a torque wrench to tighten the drain plug. I needed a breaker bar to loosen it! With the Fumoto I'll never need to worry about that again, or about stripped threads.

Looks good! It's subtle and adds personality to the jeep two thumbs way up

Yeah, the pictures are hosted on my home server so the connection can be flaky at times. Glad to hear it's working again.

Looking at your pictures, I see you did what I was planning to with the red on your wheels. Unfortunately when I started masking the idea of having to do all of those extra curves to finish the outside of the rims made me die a little inside so I wimped out. :lol:

It was a fun experience and required a lot of blue tape xD I did the red first then covered it and sprayed the black

Rotated my tires using my new floor jack and jack stands.

Took the Jeep to the beach yesterday and today. It was about 2 and a half hours each way with a stop at WaWa. With a total of 420 miles over the 2 days, I averaged 17 mpg. Im pretty happy with that. Im used to getting 13 mixed.
Overall it was a good time.
Day 1

Day 2

The Jeep!

Couldn't help but notice the Blue on the "Jeep" logo had you thought about doing blue and black?

Hmm, that's good to know. The blue badge was brushed on, which doesn't look very good up close so at some point I'm probably going to peel it off. I'm not crazy about the particular shade of blue either, so I'm not sure I will want to redo it that color regardless.

You've done it now Marinara. Those will be my next wheels for my KK. Any idea if they will squeak into my wheel wells without a lift?

What kind of lift would one need to achieve for those tires?

Edit: Cyber, either way I'll be excited to see what you come up with hopefully within the next few weeks im going to kick off dipping my interior door panels and dash all the "cream" color in the dash is going to be a dipped red possibly with gloss to protect it a little better. When I start I'll have pictures.

You said yours are 445 75 16 right?

I think I saw them at 225 75 16 which should fit stock

Whatever the size I have to have them lol
