  • I spent about 9 hours straight working on the jeep ...

    ... which is not really anything amazing except that it was in single digits outside all day (now it's -3F) and I don't have a heater in the garage. Though I have to say at times like this, you REALLY start to appreciate a pair of 1000W halogen work lights right behind your neck

    Hooked me up a couple of 4" Hella driving lights up front, a couple of el cheapo ($15) fog lights on the tire carrier, ran some 10 AWG wire all the way to the back for future uses, and cleaned up a lot of my old wiring and switches in the dash.

    I also relocated my winch solenoid box under the hood to keep it away from the elements.

    All in all, I'd say I had a very productive day.

    Now all that's left is to figure out how the heck to fool the alarm to think I have doors when I take them off (it's a lot more complicated than just putting a switch or bypassing some wires) ... it's one of those fancy bi-directional dealies that beeps your remote when the alarm goes off. It also has remote start but I'm not going to mess with that yet since I have a manual tranny.

    Wow, you got alot done despite the weather up there, brrrr :cactus: I wonder if it'd help to have one of those little tent/golf cart heaters next to you in the garage.

        I hear ya. I've been plumbing new construction for the past year and it's not a good idea to bring most heaters into crawl spaces, but 4 or 5 Halogens will heat up crawlers quick.
