Will do Morgan. You should look into making the jk bumper mounts I'm sure you would get a crazy amount or orders for those

Hey everyone!
I know it seems like I fell off the face of the earth seeing as I haven't posted here in a while, but I'll give ya'll the down and dirty of what I've been getting done with the ol' KK. Sorry I don't have any pictures, and will be going on vacation tomorrow, but if I remember when I get back, I will post pictures.

- Blacked out the headlight bezels. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but following the directions to a tee worked out perfectly. The black bezels really look good against the black grill, black ATH bumper and black fenders.

- Installed the hood lift strut mod. Would highly reccomend it. Installation took less than 45 minutes, and the hood opens wider and is much more stable now than the stupid rod. Not to mention when I am working in the engine compartment I no longer run the risk of bumping the thing.

- Installed the hockey puck bumpstops. I like them much better than what I had, and they have a better contact surface than the Jeepin By Al ones. Getting the bolt on the stud was kind of a PITA, but I eventually got it and cinched it down.

- Relocated my winch solenoid. I have been wanting to do this for a while but never got around to it. After the hood lift strut mod, I was motivated to get in there and run the cables. Due to the space (or lack thereof) I had very limited mounting options for the solenoid. I actually ended up mounting it to the firewall of the K&N CAI I installed several months ago. And who said they never benefited from it! ha Now The solenoid is tucked away under the hood and is more protected from the elements.

- Purchased the Cobra 75wx CB setup with the 4' Firestik out back. I love the look of it but have yet to put it to a real test. I ran the wires in a way where they are not visible whatsoever after entering the Jeep behind the tail light.

- Lastly I bought the HD cooling fan with the intentions of installation before I went on vacation, but ran into a few issues. The place I bought the fan clutch was off Amazon, and the picture listed had the clutch as well as the bolts. I thought I was getting a great deal seeing as I did not have to get the bolts seperately, but surprise surprise no bolts. There there was also no one in town (that I asked) that had the spanner wrench that could be loaned. I found one on Rock Auto and can get it for 30 bucks. That will be accomplished within the coming months.

Sorry everyone for making such a long post, but I figured I'd catch the forum up on what has been going on with my KK. One last note: It has been so nice here in SA that past few days that I actually drove around town with the doors off. It was pretty awesome. :JEEPIN:

Alright guys and gals I have a question should I get an Airaid Throttle Body spacer or not, I'm looking for good comments and bad comments. Thanks

I did look it up online and it says it helps with fuel milage and low - mid range power but thats all I found so Im just trying to figure out if its going to be worth the $130,

Thanks again guys

Also painted my custom rear diff skid bright green but not sure if I like it will hopefully get pics by the end of tomorrow (PST lol) for opinions

Don't get it! The whistle sound it makes is awful! I kept taking mine on and off for months. I might still have it lying around somewhere...

Added a light under the hood, I didn't realize there wasn't a lot of open space with out cutting the insulation until I tried to find a place to mount it. Found a spot on the drivers fender big enough for it. I used the GM style retractable one, I remembered seeing it one a Chevy truck my buddy had a few years back. it looks at lot better than other i saw for under the hood. Got from eBay for around 35 bucks.

It has a on/off switch on it, but i still want to wire a hood pin switch if I can find one I like.

how much light does this actually give off if you needed to do a roadside repair? I was thinking about doing something similar except actually mounting it on the bottom of the hood

Not sure about how much light yet, it should be bright enough to change a tire, check fluids, that kind of thing. I figured if it wasn't bright enough I'd change the bulb to a LED. The light has a magnetic base, and claims to have a 18' cord, I didn't test to see how far it would reach yet.

Ohhhh i see now. I didn't realize it was on a cord. I thought it was permanent there. That makes a lot more sense

Hello, I'm mostly using a iPad what app do most people use when I see folks editing out things such as license plates etc. I installed a hitch on my KK and figured I'd go ahead and post it up.
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks ahead.
