This past weekend I installed automatic Daytime Running Lights for safety of coarse she loved them. While I had the grill off I installed a Rugged Ridge black powder coated stainless steel mesh grill insert to protect the radiator for when she's going off road. I also made an attempt to wire the front fender running lights to the blinkers so the running lights would blink also for safety reason but that didn't work at all so I had to remove what I wired. Back to the drawing board on that one.

for $20 I won't tell your wife you could turn on/off the daytime running lights on the factory light set up.

Just bought our "dream home", being built now. This will earn some brownie points. Just putting mods on hold till we are moved in. In reality, I'm pretty much done. Only mods left are the " when it breaks, replace it with aftermarket". Cheers!

A simple follow up to this thread.
She said "no" too much. So I divorced her.
Cheers!

Better to ask for forgiveness than permission. "Oh BTW I just bought 3K worth of Jeep parts" sorry honey.

Ok I admit I told her I was going to buy 1K worth of stuff earlier this year but when the total came up it was 2K. I told her if we went cheap we would be buying it over again and ending up with what I wanted originally. So I went ahead and got the parts without asking for the extra money..... She was pissed but got over it.
