I don't know what to do with the chrome fog lights. Paint them black?
They seem somehow out of place.
Are they stock?
Hate to say but they just look what, too chromey? Should I paint the bezels black?

Thanks, i think that's what I'll do then, @bobthetj03 black going on, bling coming off.!

Capital idea @Ranger_b0b !
I can get KC hilites for the blue tj and paint the chromies black and put them on my white tj. Thanks for the idea, guess thats why you're the best engineer in the US.
And since my initials are KC I should get a big discount lol not.

Today i did a forensic exam of my new to me jeep engine bay. One thing I did was remove ground wires and ground straps and removed the Patriot blue paint underneath.
It's somewhat OCD but it really improves overall grounding and probably other electrical benefits, idk.
If you want to check this, take a $5.00 12v light tester and attach the alligator clip to the negative battery terminal. Now touch the tester to a known ground (it will be bright) then touch it to paint, (it will dim).
.. this 101k motor is so clean it's scary..
..but so far so good

Stock rake... but visions of 2.5 OME and new wheels and tires lie ahead.
I noticed a slight steering wheel shimmy around 60 so some PM items must come first..

My one week old jeep decides to throw engine codes P-0138 and P-0431.
Codes are for an o2 sensor on bank 1 and catalyst efficiency on bank 2.
Today i decided to replace both upstream NTK O2 sensors, betting that the PO used the wrong o2 sensors.
Cleared codes installed the correct NTK sensors and will find out tomorrow if they come back.
