Wonder how Mad Dogs sales are in the year 2020. Kinda reminds me of a bad hangover after drinking it.
Minor under hood wiring tasks. Added two loud horns to stock horn. Loud but not quite train horn loud. Added a GM retractable underwood light with LED bulb. Ran a wiring connector from the battery along the route of my winch cables to the grill. I can use this to hook up trickle charger or air compressor without opening hood.
I had a BAD experience with some MD 20/20 back in the 70’s waiting for a concert to start. NO Thank You
Replaced the thermostat and antifreeze. Test drove it parked it and then had a drink

Got rid of the CD player finally. Stuck with the JVC, this little media player is nice! Soldered, and heat schrunk everything. Great little stereo for $80, half the depth of the CD player.
It seems like just yesterday when I *finally* got my first in-car CD player. And now, I'm getting ready to remove one from my Jeep - don't need CDs when I have a USB port!
Today, I finished up with the white RV roof coat on my hardtop. Pictures tomorrow when I pull it out of the garage. I had to laugh, I was perusing threads about the "hothead" headliner, and read a post from another forum user about his installation of same - AND his painting white RV roof coating on in a similar manner to what I've done! There's truly nothing new under the sun!

Learned just how shot my tie rods were. Knocked out the old drag link, tie rod, and steering stabilizer. Installed ZJ components and a Monroe stabilizer. Going to perform alignment and straighten the steering wheel tomorrow morning. I'm super excited to find out how nice and tight new steering components feel.
Got the front and rear upper Savvy control arms installed, catalytic converters and new O2 sensors installed. Was putting the muffler back on and snapped a flange stud off. Was able to beat them both out of the flange. Will source some bolts tomorrow and start on the lower arms. Never ends.
Yes - that's why I did it in the first place. Its hotter than the brazen hinges of H,E, double hockey sticks for 6 months of the year here in Florida!
Rotated my tires. Still looking great after 3 years. Got my passenger a UVA (University of Virginia) logo mask so he'll stay safe. He gets his pic taken every day. Must be the mask.

Someone with a RHD Jeep needs to put one of those in the left side with a fake steering wheel and then drive the RHD with their hands down low.
What winch is that? I've never seen one like that, looks like a modern Warn XD9000i.
