Alot of people have asked to see photos of my JEEP well here are a few that i have taken recently, yes i know my lift and what not are not on it yet, because I'm stationed at Fort Knox, Ky and all the parts iv ordered while i was in Afghanistan where shipped to Va, and the Army is being mean and not letting me go home for like the next few months or so.... Stupid Army. And yes this is just the start of everything i have for it...($7500 +) waiting at home for me. But if you have questions feel free to ask away... yes i have used other LOST members ideas on my jeep as well

well.... enjoy, and feel free to critasize..(or however you spell it) me as well, as long as its constructive please

Thanks!!! i actually took the idea from another LOST member....but it came with a cig. plug and a 12 ga wire with clamps to run to the battery ... i cut the clamps off and soldered some longer 12 ga wire to it and ran it to the fuse panel i installed under the dash... and with the plug sockets i just pulled the face of it off the box cut and extended the wires and made a new panel out of a peice of plastic to keep things from falling in to it. if you want more info ill take some more pics and write up a better diagram for it.

Absolutely. I have been looking for a way to mount this and that is perfect.
Plus it won't cost me any extra!

on which pic???? for the hardwired converter.... i just removed the shifter bezel and it gave me enough room to do it... but once i installed it i wanted to paint the center console so i removed it completely i didnt have to remove any of the shifter parts to do anything that iv done so far

okay, so where am I connecting the wires?

CIEJEK'S KJ · **Posted:** Tue Apr 03, 2012 12:13 am

for the main power supply?? i installed a aux. fuse under the kicker panel below the steering wheel.... but you can run the wire through the center console away from any moving parts, and route it through a little hole that goes through the fire wall.... there is a little plug located on both sides of the car that all you have to do is remove the plug and it opens up into the engine compartment to where you can connect them directly to the battery im working on the write up for you the weather was a little crappy here this weekend but today is supposed to be nice so i can get the take the pictures and do a write up for you by wed evening.... and ill post it in this topic for you

Good stuff. I did the black grill with a can of bedliner on my 2006 silver limited, i think it looks absolutely badass.
I have some worn spots on the hood and rear bumper where th pain is kind of chipping off (which chrysler products are famous for, garbage paint jobs) and I'm thinking about doing a flat black on the hood too.

CIEJEK'S KJ · **Posted:** Fri Apr 13, 2012 3:58 pm

if you do decide to paint the hood black.. send some pics, i would like to see that.... and thanks its slowly coming together i just need to get out of the army already and go home to where my lift kit and all the other goodies are currently located
