Wrapped up another loose end during lunch. When I installed my heated seats I made two mistakes... One, I tapped constant instead of switched power. Two I had my pilot bit wander when drilling for the switches. This resulted in misaligned switches which I knew I couldn’t live with. So a replacement was ordered... Davey's again!
I figured I’d take care if them at some point, but no rush. Well, Wednesday night I left the seat heater on and had a dead battery when I tried to go out Thursday afternoon. Whoops... Guess my memory is not to be trusted.
So I was able to tap switched power. And since my head unit charges my phone anyway, and I don’t smoke, I decided to use the power and lighter holes for my switches in the replacement switch panel.

This looks a lot cleaner, and I like that they’re tucked back...A little harder to see, but the bright LED indicators also are also less distracting. And it’s nice that it keeps the whole right panel free for something down the road.
. After putting two giant holes in the sidewalk of my STT PRO's on a spur of the moment ride up the canyon after work at 10:30pm
. The ONLY plus was getting new tires, and wasn't that much of a plus because the Cooper's still had 60% tread remaining. Anyways, after a ton of research, and taking myself out of 35's I decided to go from 33/12.50's to 33/10.50's and so far I'm glad that I did. Nothing against the 12.50's as I actually think I like the looks of the wider tire better. However the tall, skinny General Grabber X3's sure make the Jeep feel a bit more nimble if that makes sense? The Jeep also "seems" to have a little bit more get up and go. Not sure if that's all in my head though, I now use 5th gear a lot more often so it's probably not. Can't wait to see the difference when the white stuff flies here in Sanpete County, Ut. The added bonus with the Generals is that the red lettering on the sidewalls really go good with the color scheme that the ol Rubicon
