If you guys are so inclined, check some of the high-rez photos my wife took of the Jeep this past weekend at Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge (photography is her hobby):

Also, here's a summary of most everything I've done up to this point:

My Jeep is a 1995 Jeep Wrangler, 4.0L engine, purchased from Summer Auto Sales in Loveland, Colorado. 118k miles at the time of purchase.

If you need to tint your rear work lights, this stuff worked great! (Just be warned, it's a tad pricey.)

Is that the custom light bar thats for sale on here? Looks good.

Do yourself a favor and spend 8 bucks to tie your antenna down correctly (it's canon too)

Already have. It simply didn't arrive before I put the light-bar on, nor have I had time to put it on yet. One step at a time...

Well you're a million steps ahead of me! Wasn't trying to offend, sorry if the post came off that way.

No worries. I finally got the tie-down painted and installed today. I may post a pic soon...

And yes, it is indeed one of the light bars being sold by DriverGT5 in the "for sale" forums...

Whip antenna tie-down installed. I am wondering how long that plastic clip is going to last, though...

Here's the most recent photo of my Jeep. I installed my winch a few weeks ago, which is a Superwinch LP8500 (seen here with Ramsey decals, thanks to Jonathan Householder.) I relocated the solenoid under the hood.

Although not seen, I recently installed a new radiator, and also got a Uniden CB unit!
