Default Broke a Personal Record!

Generally, when I buy a aftermarket part for any of my present, or past, vehicles I install it right away. However, I bought a Superwinch EPi9.0, on sale, during the first week of last December, but did not install it until the last week of September. That means I had a fairly pricey modification sitting in my garage for 10 months! Needless to say, that broke a personal record for me between buying and installing a mod.

With that said, it made me wonder if others here have done the same thing (I know you have!). Post up your story, along with a picture of the guilty part. Here's mine!

Man, how did you do it???

For me, it won't even touch the ground outside the house from the back of the delivery truck!

Im just impatient, nothing can wait. Especially when its the jeep!

My stuff gets delivered to work. I hate if I have to wait until the end of the work day to get it installed. Typically I will try to sneak out early.....or if it is an easy mod I will sneak down during lunch and install it.

My wife and I work for the same company.....so we carpool. It is harder to hide bigger mods from her. If it gets delivered to work, she will see it when we leave. But I also can't beat her home to hide the UPS/FedEx package sitting on the front door step.

I've learned to order it, keep it at my desk. Then say I have to run into work on the weekend and pick it up!

I bought Bushwacker flares pretty cheap around six months ago. They sat in my brothers garage because I never seemed to find time to get around to installing them... Mainly because I installed a bunch of other mods first, like a lift kit, tire carrier, 35s, and GOBI rack. I finally set some time aside last weekend but what's even funnier is I still only did the fronts!

Guilty as charged.

More time consuming than difficult cause there's a hundred steps you have to do/follow. The installation in the write-ups section was fairly easy to work with.
