Installed my VOSWITCH Controller and Under-The-Hood Relay/Fuse Box. All eight ports are setup with 40-Amp Relays and 30-Amp Fuses. And I still have three open slots for additional, future accessories.

After installing the larger NITTO tires,
I had to deal with them rubbing on the Wheel Wells / Fender Liners. To remedy this, rivet the liner to a bracket and weld / attach it to something that will allow you to pull the liner rearward enough to eliminate the rubbing of the tire. In my case, I have Nerf bars on either side to step up into the truck that the small brackets could be welded to.
No more rubbing and no need to hack up your Fender / Wheel Well.

Installed a Midland MTX275 Mobile Radio. I added a 2 port 12v outlet with usb outlets to expand my charging capacity. I will likely hardwire the GMRS in the future so it can be used as a base camp radio. The magnetic antenna is mounted to the bed for now for quick setup.

Yesterday I finished up most of the engine accessories on the CJ2, oil filter cannister, alternator, intake/exhuast, carb, fuel pump, oil feed and return lines for the oil filter assembly, distributor along with a Pertronix electronic drop in ignition, then got most of the clutch linkage assembled except I forgot to order the "adjustment yoke", so I put an order in for that along with a few other odds and ends. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the exhaust dropped in and welded up. Getting really close to time to put the tub back on. And I still need to order up new drive shafts.

That's going to be awesome...I mean, it already is!

I installed a hitch mounted tire carrier that I made for my Jeep XJ. I still have to complete the fold down table for it and change out a bit of hardware but it's mostly complete and it's functional.

That looks very good. Great work! That is a awesome XJ. Enjoy your travels with it.

Thanks guys. I haven't had a chance to test it on a trail yet but I think I've hit every pot hole in town (on purpose) and so far so good. It's solid!

Finished installing sPOD in my JKU.
Installation was fairly easy and it allowed me to clean up the wiring mess in the engine bay.
The toughest part was getting the ethernet cable up through and out of the A pillar to the location I wanted to mount the touch screen.
The screen mount is from 67 Design.
