Well I did my first major (in my book) damage today. Spent the whole day on the trail and got my custom pin striping collection a little bigger and had a run in with a NASTY branch. Said branch ended up picking a fight and snapping my bumper mounted fog light at the base almost exploded. So here I sit trying to decide if I'm just going to epoxy it back together or just buy a new one. But this was one of the coolest trips I took. It was the KS Rocks annual Frostbite Run. There were 115 register rigs and out of all of those 2 KJ's. If your close to Kansas City next year at this time it would be worth your while to go. Parakeet P.S. Pics of the black eye coming soon |

I am glad KS Rocks is doing good! Was the other KJ Terry from KC Jeep Club? He is calling me for advice on the KJ all the time... Great guy! BTW any pics? |

I don't think it was Terry it was a lady out of Springfield Mo w/ a tan KJ w/ spacer lift. She dinged her front end pretty good basically she needs a new facia now. And as soon as I get moved and my computer back up you all will get pics. Parakeet |

I still only have one fog light after my run-in with a big rig's hood on the Cross Bronx |

Warranty man, Warranty. I already had my passenger side fog replaced because the grommet that the elevation adjustment screw went into was busted. Maybe the car wash has a run in with your fog light. I know they stock the fogs for the Wranglers for that very reason. Car washes kill them. |

Funny, I've been out to the ORV area at Randolph KS dozens of times, but I've never made it to KS Rocks and it is much closer ... what I spend in gas getting to Randolph would pay my way into KS Rocks. Glad to hear some KC people are hitting the trails. Say, is Warren (Wren) still in KC Jeep Club? I could have sworn I saw the black YJ he drove a few years ago downtown the other day, with him in it, but I would be a bit surprised if he hadn't "gone larger" by now. |

Well I got some plastic weld and I'm going to try and "fix" it before I replace it. Bri my Frankenlift came in today so it's possible that we may be going to KS Rocks on Sunday if you wanna go drop me a line Parakeet |

Well I got the light fixed today. Rather than buy a new light I just got some "Plastic Weld" 2 part acrylic epoxy and glued it back together. Then I spread a nice coat over the cracks in the housing. Don't know how long it will hold but it was worth a shot. Parakeet |
