Default Being a Jeeper

This Jeep thing...I spent days considering and debating. 1 month after purchasing a $30k+ Jeep with less then 2,000 miles on it. I did it. I took a drill to the dash and modified it. Haven't ever done that to a vehicle before. It felt good and looks good. This might be the gateway drug to some serious modifications.

I glad you found the courage to drill holes in your dash. Was there a purpose or did you just want to lighten your jeep?

Added RI lights to the pillars, didn't like the switch that came with it so I ordered and wired three switches to the left I the steering week. I have a feeling I'll use the other two switches in a few weeks.

I had the same feeling when I had to cut the hood for my snorkel!
