Alaska Daily Drivers: Hydro Blue 80A and Bright White JTR

[Eeeckman]

Our Jeep didn't come with an LED package. That needed fixed. Enter KC HiLites Gravity LED headlights... You know so we can see the moose and stuff:

With the grill off, no better time to start on the Rebel Offroad bumper and Warn Winch:

From here we took a break to go on a quick 4 day vacation to Fairbanks, Alaska. We had an amazing time, but I was itching to get back in the garage.

One problem I had in the Washington mountains on a snowy day was my Gladiators LED headlights would build up with snow. They were not hot enough to keep clean, so I had to stop every few miles to wipe off the lights to see the road after dark.

Wow, that's an incredible tip. Thank you. I'll have to think about how to handle that since it will inevitably happen. Appreciate the heads up!

It ain't much to look at, but sealing the truck bed was on the list. I got my first attempt done tonight after work. Now I need to test it ?

I used MD expanding foam tape and black window silicone. The tape expands to fill gaps between an 1/8 - 1" and is completely waterproof and paint-able. Pretty cool product.

The wife came out to check on me. The garage is full of fumes from adhesive remover, alcohol wipes, and silicone. She's a nice lady. ?

Of the 3 years with my JT here in Alaska, I've never had any issues with the headlights and snow. Keeping them clean during spring breakup, well doesn't have to be spring anymore, is something i do anytime i fill up gas.

It was a big day. The pups finally got to ride in the Jeep thanks to a new seat cover. Although the seat cover doesn't help the little one from jumping to the front and riding shotgun ?

My dog loves going on Jeep trips with me. I feel guilty when i don't bring her along.

Your copilot has commandeered the pilot seat! A mutiny is a foot!

 

[4xjeepr]

I had to put down the mutiny, it was a fight! He eventually retreated to the passenger seat. It's the small battles.
