recently picked up an '06 LJ. New headunit, speakers, LED gauges, new shift knob, and storage bin on top.
Who makes the top storage bin? Ive seen the one that has the words on it "Driven by design" or some other nonsense. I like the one without!
Saturday a buddy and I installed some new Ball joints on the LJ (Spicer). One day I’d love to own my own lift.

Ordered more parts! This time, an adjustable rear track bar & pitman arm. Some of the last for my 05 Rubi build! Can't wait

Crown# RT27016 I didn't want the logo version either, but the "Driven" one was also higher in the front than the back. I wanted the front lip to be lower than the back to make it easier to see the contents. 2 screws through the top hold it in.
I replaced a Kenwood 281A with a shiny new Yaesu FT-2980r. The 281A will go to my bench for a general use radio. Why the new radio? Bigger screen for my older eyes. Oh, and did I say shiny?
Very nice. Much better than the handhelds while wheeling.
What antenna are you using with it?
Replaced the upstream O2 sensor, getting ready to do the downstream, and switch out one of the side market light bulbs
I use a Comet SBB5 for everyday, in-town repeater and simplex use and a Larsen NMO150 for out of town for a bit more gain..

Added some JK fog lights to my front bumper. I already had wiring for fog lights set up, so I figured I would try to get them to work. To install them I removed the adjustable brackets, drilled two 3.5 inch holes, wired everything, and used JB weld to keep them in place. The lights are bright and keep the bumper looking clean.

Nice set up and good size lights as well, they do look great there...However you may have to be care full wheeling though..those corners are pretty vulnerable.

It didn't take long to wire them up, but that's because all the wiring was there from when I had some KC daylighters on the bumper. The picture shows how I wired everything up with 12 gauge wire. I hooked the positive wire for the switch to the shifter light, so the lights will only work if the parking lights or headlights are on. The fog lights came with waterproof disconnects, which I was able to route under the sway bar cover so if they need to be removed it's easy to do.
Got the Jeep loaded and heading to Colorado for the summer.

Today I installed one of these Rugged Ridge wall mount door holders:

I have to say, I'm impressed! It's simple, but it holds both doors easily, and it's got striker plates for the doors to latch onto so that they don't accidentally swing out.

I was just telling my girlfriend that I wanted to invent something like that. That is probably cheaper than I could do it. Thanks for the heads up!
