What have you done to your KK lately

You never run out. You just have to upgrade. Or you can custom fab stuff, OR regear and lock her up. Then you have to add onboard air, might as well add some more stuff inside, like a fridge or something :lol:

Put a custom fridge under the cargo area.

I'll run out of money before I run out of mods.

Got some stuff done today.

-Removed front air dam
-Removed window vent shades that were on the car from the previous owner
-Removed dealership vinyl decal and license plate frame
-Installed the front Bwoody sway bar links... I haven't taken it out for a ride yet. The rear bolts were a PITA, so I sprayed some PB Blaster on them and will do them sometime this week.
-Did the last few coats of paint on my AtTheHelm Front Recovery system
-Pulled the front grille off to get the headlights out so I could do the black headlight housing mod, only to find out that the Torx bit I needed was missing... I guess this will have to wait for another day.

I took a good look at the black plastic pieces on my Jeep, and found that they are looking pretty faded. Anyone recommend a good product to restore these? Everything from the roof rails, to the door handles, to the Liberty side molding need restored. It looks like the previous owner tried using wax on them.

Turtle wax makes a good product. Mothers back to black actually makes it worse.

I'm a noob but what do the bwoody swaybar links do?

Thicker links. Should stiffen up the swaybars a bit and give a "better ride and handling". If I remember correctly, musclez had them, but they wouldn't lengthen them for his lift so they were the same length as stock.

Thanks for the info!

Are you planning to sell the window vent shades?
About the plastic, just try a good old fashioned wash first. If that doesn't work, I use Armorall on my plastics including the ones you mentioned.

On the plastic I had the same thing happen and I just used Rustoleum Satin Black spray paint that way when you wax again the fading should never come back :mrgreen:

I trashed the vent shades. One of them broke when I pulled it off, and I folded the rest to fit in a trash bag. If I had known someone would want them, I would have been more careful.

Trying my hand at designing a pull out table and small drawer system for the trunk, and picking up some side jobs to start saving for a roof top tent :CAMPING:

Edit - also looking into a winch mount, so it's getting exciting around here again :mrgreen:

Got the good news from the dealer that my jeep was finished! Picked it up at six and took it for a test drive to check for leaks/issues

....only to get rear ended on the way back to the dealer....
No one was hurt but the other guy Had the pleasure of being handcuffed in front of his parents for possession of marijuana.

This month has been pretty bad but not that bad. Jeep still runs fine.. Heck maybe I'll get a couple new bumpers! Morgan I'm lookin at you sir!
