Putco came out with a cool idea for their 360 fog light bulbs; two LED elements that you can switch back and forth- one for fog lights and one for driving lights in the same location. I have had these on order for a long time and they finally arrived and I got them installed last week. I...

I recently got an email that my bedrug will be here a week earlier than expected- July 13th-19th. Nice! I think I will be one of the first to get one and it cannot come soon enough to start hauling things.

It is a pretty twisty piece so it would be easy to "re-align" it if it got a curve/bend in one of the mounting points.

While I continued to wait for the 6 3/4" Rockford component speakers to arrive I called up Crutchfield tech support for some other ideas. They thought these 4" 2 way speakers would be a good upgrade for the dash. Unfortunately, they do not provide as much bass as the factory speakers and...

Boo! Well, at least now I know. So is 6-8 weeks still accurate?

Holy backorder Batman! I have no fewer than 5 parts on backorder right now for the Jeep. This of course, includes my speakers that got delayed another week, again...

Well that was fast! I paid for mine on Saturday and I got an email yesterday that the bedrug would arrive June 9th-14th. That would be awesome if it was right, but I am not holding my breath on that one.

I ended up using a winch on the ceiling and a bracket for an older Wrangler top that I changed a bit to work with my Gladiator hard top. It is a pretty slick set up.

My 6 3/4" speakers got bumped another week for availability so I decided to upgrade the factory headlights to Putco LED's. There is a lot of stuff to squeeze into the tiny headlight housing so take your time and wear some thin gloves because you will invariably scrape up your hands. These...

I just noticed on tirerack.com that these Yokohama's just beat out the BFG KO2's and 2 other tires in the wet and dry and took 2nd to only the KO2's in the snow (partly due to their additional tread depth). However, the K02's also weigh a whopping 10 pounds more affecting acceleration...

I got the 6 3/4" speaker grilles and the holes do line up with the mounting kit. However, they are too thick creating a large gap between the speakers and the grilles so the speakers rattle around. Man, I just cannot get a break with these damn speakers. I called Crutchfield again and they...

I got all the (simple) wiring done today and cut holes in the speaker mount kits for the Rockford Fosgate tweeters. Unfortunately, the speaker grille holes to not line up with the mount kit. Crutchfield is going to send out a set of 6 3/4" grilles that should line up.

Only a few hundred miles on the tires and everything looks like new. Extra lugs, TPMS, and extra sockets included. The tires are even severe snow rated so they are much better on snow and ice than mud tires while being much quieter and riding significantly smoother on all roads. Also a very...

I got the wire adapters yesterday, but they have the same ends as the tweeters. I called Crutchfield tech support who said I could pick up connector adaptors at any hardware or stereo store. After a morning wasted going to many stores being told I was crazy that nothing like that existed I...

The new Rockford speakers are here, but they forgot to send the wiring adapters for the tweeters. Doh!

I still have yet to hear anything from Travis at Crutchfield so I called and talked to Tech. Support and they recommended some Rockford Fosgate 6 1/2" component speakers that run on lower power and do not have crossovers so the tweeters can be wired up directly to the factory wiring with an...

So I got the SSV Works speaker adapters and Polk speakers installed in the sound bar, but the speakers sound awful. Very underpowered, even with the "upgraded" Alpine amp. I think the issue is that each speaker location has the power split between 2 more speakers so really only 1/2 of the...

I got some time today to do the cutouts for the new speakers in the sound bar. It is a bit involved and time consuming, but not terribly difficult with the right tools. Polk 6 1/2" 2 way vs. stock 4" and upgraded Alpine 3 1/2" speakers. Quite a difference! Here is the cutout almost...
