Another forum I am on does this, its great for the little nothings not worthy of a new thread. Its a confidence booster for your WK to let it know even the little things are important... oil change, de-badging, painting bits and pieces, repairs, the fact that you finally got to drive it...

Ill start:

- considering I made all of 2.1 hrs for the 6.5 hrs I was at work, I pulled the grand in, pulled the front end off and rerouted my HID relay harnesses for my fogs and headlamps. When I initially installed them I was slamming them in with no time to worry about wire routing or ballast mounting.
-Checked all my fluids to make sure all was still good considering the open heart surgery done to her a couple months back, all checked out good other than what looks like a slight coolant leak from my radiator end tank.
-dusted her exterior and shined the tires (she got a bath last night but it sprinkled on the way home)
-Installed a steel skid plate!
-Saturday I pulled off my steering wheel to resolve my squeeking clockspring and clicking turn signal cancelor cam, In a moment of NON-thinking I spritzed the clockspring with some spray lube, good news... it is quiet... bad news, I had a "check electric brake system" message in the evic and the traction control light on following. Quickly hooking up the witech I found I had an "internal scm failure". 2 days of driving later it went off and hasnt come back (phew)

The first kit I got, 3 years ago, was the 6K bulbs. It was a nice white. Recently I had a problem with my passenger side so instead of chasing the problem, I just replaced with an all new 6k kit. The bulbs this time were a bit more blue than the last kit. So I would recommend the 4300 or the 5000 kit, if you want a more white color.
Caved in an ordered a kit, it is an extreme in the 6500k ill post back with the install when i get it, thanks guys

Installed my custom designed top inlay for my shift knob.
Thanks to Nate (rebadge design) for making it for me! :D

No unfortunately it's not a working button....I wish it was as easy as my dodge ram, 2 ignition wires snipped and you had a push button start. I can't afford to pay 200+ for that feature. Darn computer! I saw all the push buttons Nate had done for other cars and figured I could make something similar (just larger) for the shift knob. Worked out well. If anyone else is planning to do one, its 1 1/8" diameter.

Yeah! Just watched that movie today actually. Such a classic. Wish I could run nitrous but it would be just silly in my off roader. Maybe one of you srt/street guys should work on that! :p

Pulled a conversion van to the gas station. Easy - Peazy! My first time being the tower & not the towee.

Mental notes:

A.) Don't let someone else attach my strap to their vehicle, lest they tie it in a knot. Just Sayin'.

B.) More brake when putting tension in the line. I was feathering the brake (thought that would be slow enough). When it hit the end of the strap, that Jeep said "Go". Pretty sure the other guy & I weren't ready.

Either way, I got the strap to help people & I had a lot of fun doing it.
