Last Friday, removed old boat sounding horn and installed two horns/harness. Now, people doing 75 mph on the expressway...will know...when l want them to get out of my way...lol. Okay, who am l fooling...this thing will most likely never see the expressway...or let alone pass someone that is doing 75. However, maybe after doing a Dll transfer case swap...she'll at least do 75?

Been driving the wheels off of old blue, about time for her second oil change.

Brian.

I found a old RRC clock and figured out it is the same clock used in the NAS Defender so now I am good to go on a clock to go in my Series Defender Outfitter Bezel. Now I have to trim up the dash.

No cigarette lighter???...so how are you going to torture folks into telling you the truth (old movie technique, hold hot lighter against hand to gain information...actually, my wife still uses this technique on me)...sure as heck aren't going to be able to do that with a USB port...lol

Given the batteries location I was thinking jumper cables hooked to the sensitive bits.

Removed brake light switch, sanded contacts, working again....l know...lame repair but brake lights are somewhat important. Easy field repair, really all you need is a jack knife, to disassemble switch.

Well since the boost won’t work for the tires I want to run.

I went and picked up plan B in Atlanta.

You better start saving your quarters for the car wash...lol. Those are going to look bad a** , for sure. Are those the 37's you mentioned? And, are those TF rims?

Actually been looking at these for the next go around on Victoria (yeah, named her...which is a first for me). Going with 285's though.




I've been very pleased with my Federals M/T tires, but like the loks of these better.
