Fairly productive day... I got the following done:
1. Jeep turned 4000 even today, so I made the switch to synthetic oil. Six fresh quarts of Mobile 1 5w20 Synthetic for the win!
2. Secondary Horn Relocation (Required for Vacuum Pump Relocation)
BEFORE:
AFTER:
3. Vacuum Pump Relocation (Rugged Ridge Kit):
AFTER:
4. Installed ENGO E1000S-EFP Winch (The new upgraded model with enhanced casing).
HALFWAY:
AFTER: (I forgot to take one before throwing the cover on... I'll post one tomorrow in the sun!)
5. Installed Olympic4x4 Windshield Light Brackets. I decided to use rubber shelf liner between the brackets and the pillars on the Jeep. The lights won't be here for another two weeks, so this was me just being proactive...
BRACKETS and LINER:
AFTER:
Several of these projects became much harder than they should have been since most of the instructions sucked, or I was just too dumb (or didn't have the right tools) to figure them out... 12 total hours of work! DOH!
That said, it was absolutely incredible to spend the entire day wrenching... seriously, life is GOOOD!
Tomorrow, I'm just going to wash, wax, and RELAX!

Install for these was really easy. A total of 7 bolts to remove one shaft (2 Brake Caliper, 4 plate assembly, and 1 brake sensor), I highly recommend a slide hammer to get the shafts out much easier. All in it took me about 1.5 to replace both. I did mine before breaking just to make things simple.

Washed it thoroughly to remove the salt yesterday since it got up to 65 degrees! But today I drive back to college, where there's 70% chance of rain today -__-
Also installed led backup bulbs
