What did you do to your TJ today?

I've been using GPSes since well before most people had ever heard of them or knew what one was. Old 1 channel Magellan GPS "engine" (AKA raw circuit board) installed in autonomous science equipment. Then came the 5 channel Magellan, but it was a BFD when the 10 channel Garmin came out, that was a fraction of the size of the old Magellans. The Garmin engine was even enclosed in a Faraday can, unlike the open circuit boards we had used before. Then Garmin came out with a 10 channel unit integrated into an antenna, which meant we didn't have to run coax cable between the two - just a 3 wire serial interface. We had so many of the previous GPS and antenna as separate pieces, that I actually did my own integration and put the engine into a small potted enclosure mounted to the antenna - until those were lost/broken/whatever (autonomous science gear takes a beating), then bought more of the integrated units. To the best of my knowledge, Garmin still makes them.

Wow mate was that the short version ?😂😂

Really wanted to like my $20 niilight light pods but the first, and the warranty replacement filled with condensation so I went back to the OG

I saw a lot of reviews on the condensation for nilight. Someone said they put silicone along the edge and they didn’t have any issues.

The original fog light config looks way better anyway imo!
 
After nearly two months I went to pick up my jeep from my work parking lot. The battery was pretty low but thankfully it was in the 50’s here today so it was able to crank albeit slowly. Got her running and let the cobwebs burn off and then was able to make it across town shifting and steering with my good arm. I had forgotten how much I loved driving it even though it rides like a jeep lol Merry Christmas to me, I’m glad to have my TJ back home.

Cooked up some Yorkshire pudding for the turkey this afternoon and then finally had some time to fix the flashing lights behind the gauges.
Maybe this time it’s fixed for good.

I'll tell ya whats wrong with it ! the gauges are on the wrong side so when your turning the lights on it's actually turning them off ! try turning them off and see if they come on !!!! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
