Installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge because the electronic oil pressure gauge has become the bane of my existence on this Jeep project.

Bought a 13 lbs fire extinguisher, a 10L plastic fuel can, a new tow strap rated at 11000 lbs, and got some good quality work gloves, am slowly crossing things off the list of "things I want in the car" more items will be added once I have saved up more money.

Springs installed, they say 1/4" in the front and 1/2" in the rear but right now I am at another full 1". These things need to settle a bit. But I do like the ride. Anone know of chamber adjusters other than stock? When they aligned the car they said I was maxed out. I will have it redone when she sets a bit.

Gatekeeper won't be keeping you out the next trip. Are you going to up tire size?

We installed a battery powered led over the rear hatch in the JK. $7 bucks at Harbor Freight.

Nothing big but its bothered me for 2 years not having a light at the rear.

Great idea. I don't know how many times I've walked around to the passenger door and opened it just to turn on the lights again.

Been fighting a misfire cylinder 5 (chevy 350) all week. New wires, cap, rotor, spark plugs and coil. Running some good old BG 44K fuel system cleaner through the system right now. Not sure what else to chase. I doubt the valves are damaged, its never overheated or come close to getting too hot. Anyone got any ideas or experience?

It's always ran like a champ and smooth as could be until this started, now it's just driving me nuts.

Hey Claymore F.T.E.
Here is a picture of the light at night.

Looks good!! To add camber, the upper strut bolt holes can be slotted inwards with a die grinder or dremmel tool, but I'd let it settles a bit for sure.

For those who owns disco 2's, if you have to replace the coils, they are conveniently located at the back of the engine behind the intake against the firewall. Sadly I've gotten good at doing this swap, 20 minutes and it's out. If I wasn't in a crunch for time I would relocate them.IMG_20171012_191756.jpgIMG_20171012_191840.jpgIMG_20171012_192745.jpg
