Soon I hope, the jeep was down for quite a while getting upgraded. I'm still giving it the shakedown and it has been doing good. I'm heading up today for a bit to see how it does. The half doors are on and I like them although it can be a tad bit chilly on these days. I did get snowed on hard the other day and managed to still stay comfortable. It's not much of a road machine unless it was maybe a Road Warrior contest.

yeah but he put 5 gallons in, a short drive, then 21 gallons - 26 gallons. Suppose he used a gallon idling and on the 10 minutes drive, so say 25. Kinda like how the XJ 18gallon tank can hold more ? 25 would be awesome.

Installed my high idle switch today
I have the hand throttle, I love it but the few seconds it takes to set it to 1,000ish RPMs was making me upset
So here we are
First I installed this switch because it had no LED lights and being that I was switching a ground there was no real good way of making one work without adding a lot of wire and a relay. I also didn't want a steel toggle switch and I wanted the switch in this location being that's it's part of the jeep it's self not something aftermarket that I bolted on.
After doing the throw part of the switch will not clear the trim.
So here is another switch that I had.
Fits in the same hole.
Here it is all in
The switch in action

This little guy showed up last week.
I went ahead and got the full deal, built and powdercoated with sway bar mounts.
Like in the install sheet, smash the little tin flap. Flat-ish.
Ran in to an issue, the stock crossmember was running in to the steering brace. This was no big deal. No two jeeps are build the same and I was expecting this.
Also the face of the crossmember needed a trim
Again no big deal.
So the brace it self uses the stock swaybar holes and 2 add on holes on the flat part of the "frame"
That requires you to remove the bumper, my bumper is not fun to remove. So I skipped that step and used a floor jack to push up the brace after installing the pillow bushing to make sure everything was lined up. Tighten the bolts on the frame then welded the front and side of the brace to the jeep.
I did it so I can cut it off if needed down the road.
Now just a little touch up paint and I'll be taking her for a spin.

Looks good! Nothing a little weld can't sturdy up.

Yea that's what I was thinking.
4 1inch welds in place of 2 bolts. She should be fine.

Got my hatch light installed
Ran the wires with the water hose for the window washer
Ran it to a hot wire and a switch. I didn't want it to turn on with my dome light. I have my back seat down 99% of the time and would kill me everyone it came on in the dark.
