The adventures of a Jeep and its driver.
Added my Mag Light to the side of the driver’s seat. This was a pretty easy addition. Picked up the Mag Light mounting kit and screwed it to the plastic trim on the side of the seat. I also added the Mopar door sill guards. Stepping in and out of the jeep with mud and rocks on my boots was sure to scratch the sills up.
Added a matte black JK Freaks Ohio sticker to the Jeep. Keeping in line with the blacked out theme. Not sure how much longer this will last. 😉
I built a bracket to attach my CB antenna to the space behind my license plate bracket. I modeled it after something I saw on the interwebs. I had just picked up a welder and I wanted to try my hand at fabricating something small.
Removed my chrome Jeep grill badge. I taped around the old one before removing it. I used dental floss to cut the adhesive and then some Goo-Gone to get rid of any residual adhesive. I added a black one I picked up on the eBays.
Got an AWESOME deal on a set of Bushwhacker flat fender flares from the JK Freaks forum. There was a little missing hardware, but I was able to find it easily enough at O’Reilly’s auto parts. Bushwhacker even sent me a whole set of replacement weather stripping free of charge.
The hardest part was getting up the courage to rip the old flares off! Did this in my Dad’s garage as it was a little chilly that day. Took me 9 hours. But, a bunch of that time was spent trying to figure out just how to do the “Marker Light Mod.” I rewired the marker lights, so that they also act as turn signal indicators.
Took her wheeling for the first time at Southington Offroad. I was impressed with what this thing could do. Open differentials and 3.21 gears! Aside from the tires and bumpers, it’s pretty much stock.
Ordered a pair of OR-FAB bumpers from Northridge 4×4. I was really excited to see how they looked on the Jeep once they were installed. Too bad I can’t see them!
Peeled off all the Wrangler/Sport decals off the sides of the Jeep.
Ordered a set of Smittybilt SRC Side Armor/Steps from Amazon.
Took a drive out to the 4 Wheel Parts year end sale in Columbiana, Ohio and ordered some new tires and wheels. Had them installed at the 4WP on Brookpark Road.

Rugged Ridge wheels.
This seems to happen every day. Jeeps parking besides Jeeps.
I wanted something to protect the rocker panel under the door, so I picked up a set of Smittybilt side steps from Amazon. They also help my vertically challenged wife get in the Jeep. 😉
