I banged the shit out of my rock sliders, frame rails, skids, axles, diffs, and got a flat.

 

Relocated rear tow plug above license plate. Cool Tech wire harness routed behind tail light via opening under left rear fender. Plenty of room to work with tail light removed:

 

KB7OUR,

My wire harness looks like crap under the bumper. Yours looks really good, well finished...but why up there? Could you educate me on the reasons whys, maybe some pros/cons...

 

Thats weird mine looks fine in the stock location.

 

Stuff above the plug is just dirt/muck not paint damage.


Stock location hangs low enough to get damaged off road (i.e. dragged, cable pinched, etc.).

New location helps keep tow cable away from the ground for use with off road trailer.

Fit and finish looks nearly custom and does not move when plugging in or removing heavy 7-way trailer cable.

I thought about inside the bumper but I'm buying the AEV rear when it comes out.

I thought it out and liked the idea of the location I used. The only con is the 2" hole through 2 layers of metal but the plug is going to stay so not really an issue. Others may think of cons...I like it and it works for me.

As a side note when I tow to counter a little rear sag I just air up newly installed Air Lift airbags. Valve stem is located inside the fuel door.

 

planned out my radar detector hard wire

 

Installed Flowmaster 80 series muffler today. Sounds sweet. Total cost: $260.

 

WOW...your under carriage is CLEAN...wish mine looked like that


BTW...sweet exhaust

 

Went by National Muffler (locally owned shop) and got me a Flowmaster 40 series muffler installed yesterday. I do not have any sound clips recorded yet but it sounds like this:

Hehe...me too! I'm going to try a trick I read about on the forum today to remedy that...take a garden hose with one of those automatic sprinkler things on the end and just set it under the Jeep and let it soak 'er up...after a while, all the mud should come off and you'll have a bottom looking like WhiskeyTango's! (then you have to clean the driveway!)
