Today has been a busy day for me. The sun finally has been coming out the last couple days and I have been itching to work on my Jeep. Got a lot done.
I started off installing some new speakers in the dash. I bought some adapter plates to mount 5 1/4 speakers, but I wish I would have bought the little box thingys you can get for them. Oh well, the sound is much better then it was before (speaker was bad). I still need to buy some for the sound bar, but for now those still work, just sound pretty bad when you turn it up loud. So no blasting the radio for now.
Then I got my wire tap fuse thingy and plugged my light bar switch into the radio fuse. I first tried the parking lights, but that kept the switches light on all the time. Going to the radio fuse, it shuts off when you turn the key off, comes on when it is running.
Next was the headlight guards. First thing was first, had to paint them purple.
Then got them installed.
Looks a lot better than the angry eyes.
Before,
After,
I also installed my Jeep windshield sticker.
It was getting warm, so I tried my AC, it didn't work. Hubby had a can of that stuff you can fill it yourself, so we filled it, but found out why it didn't work in the first place. Bad hose. The local AC place wants 85 bucks to rebuild that hose and that is with me taking it off. Local parts store can get me a new hose for 45 bucks plus about 15 in shipping. Rock auto has the same hose for 17 and some change. LOL I'll be ordering it.
I also got my purple door and glove box straps. They look pink in the photo but they are purple of course.
I bought the stuff for a tune up. Plugs, cap, rotor. I forgot to get the wires. LOL I will go back tomorrow for those. I also got the filter and oil to do an oil change. Probably do that tomorrow too. For now I started with changing the cap and rotor. Currently waiting for the motor to cool off a bit then I will go do the plugs. The one by the AC compressor looks like it is going to be fun to get to. LOL
The old cap looks like it has seen better days. Kind of curious to see how it's going to run with a new one, specially after seeing what the old one looks like. Yikes!!! Look at all that build up.
That is all for today.
