Oh man - I barely beat that aired-up running down the highway with my foot off the gas….On the flip side, after almost a week of being aired down and playing around on the beach, I got 8 MPG over 115 miles.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Well you know next time don't do that naked lol....once bitten twice shy lol
Got the control cable installed from the in-cab control panel to the winch. Only thing left now is to connect two wires in the dash: ground and switched +12. Will probably combine that with replacing one of the two dash power outlets with a USB charge dingus.
He is so meanRemind me never to drive your Jeep again!!!!!!

Finalizing the stereo upgrade... Recently swapped installed a double-din, added an amp, new Polk speakers in the dash and roll bar pods, along with a set of separate tweeters on the top of the dash. Just finshed up a stealth cover for the 8" powered sub under the driver's seat, and I built a pair of custom kick panels w/pods to add another pair of 6.5" Polk Audio DB652's to the front.
It should soound like a beast when i get it finished.
All that's left to do is cut out the holes, mount the speakers, and wire them in.

When I purchased my '01 a Jeep tech friend and I inspected the rear brakes and found the wheel cylinders weeping, the brake parts were rusted badly, the brake shoes needed replacing and the drum was scoured badly so we I installed a BMB disc brake conversion.
The BMB disc brake conversion kit has performed well since installing and makes brake inspections much easier than with drum brakes.

They bust you when your drivers license says you live in this state and your Jeep is registered in another state. In Tennessee you’ve got ten days to get them to match. Of course you gotta get pulled over or caught in some infraction to get caught.Can you guys not licence/register a TJ in a non inspection state and just use it without inspection in another state that requires inspection? We can in OZ
Did a little road hunting. Didn’t see a thing, and I’m okay with that. Only thing that got wet was my left arm resting on the half door.
Finished up the in-cab winch controls - as well as removed the switched cigarette lighter and replaced it with a dual USB charger dingus. I had been using a plug in charger, but like the clean look of the in-place one - I keep a pair of FRS radios plugged into it.
Decided to re-spool my line a bit better than the slop job I'd done after the swim spa fiasco - so I kept a bit of tension on the line while my 8 yo granddaughter ran the winch from inside! Worked great!

Me and the wife rode over to Coppinger cove to check it out. We saw a bunch of JK'S and followed them to the trail head. We crossed the creek turned around and crossed back.
I would love to go back with some forum members that know the cove and ride around!!!!!

Just got it back from body shop. I think it turned out great.
Went and did some wheeling and ended up needing to use the winch only to find out one of the pins on my connector for the remote had broken off. So dead winch. After some field splicing I got it going and made it out of there.
So a new connector and housing cover are on order. The flip cap that protects the connector pins had gotten old and didn't seal like it used to. I tried to keep it lubed with dielectric grease but Alabama humidity won the battle.

In-cab control - main power switch turned on which engages the 500 amp solenoid on the firewall.
I've had this built-in style USB dual port charger dingus for several months, but dreaded tearing into the center console once again. But as I needed to connect the winch control panel to switched +12v, I went ahead and bit the bullet and got this thing installed at the same time.

That is beautiful! As a potential Kali defector, Glad to see glimpses of what is available.
