With this norovirus event going on, and economic uncertainty, I have scrubbed the idea of a Jeep Gladiator pickup to replace our truck and silver JK.
So, I made the 2 dr JK a little more flat tow friendly for our non-wheeling camping trips.

RVi3 supplimental braking system. Pretty neat deal that can be easily moved to another rig if I get one later. A tablet monitors the system, and allows brakes to be manually operated from inside the rv if needed. Came with emergency brake away switch, and fused 12v power source.
Then a Hopkins plug and play towed vehicle wiring harness. No more magnetic lights and routing the wire up front every trip. I also learned that a JK has a couple nifty places to run wires through the firewall without drilling new holes.

All done, and it all works just in time for 2 of my camping reservations to be cancelled!! Now I will be forced to do yard work out of sheer boredom.

My glass is half full, and I believe this thing will come to pass sooner than later. I hope everyone is staying safe at home, and working on their stuff.

Good call on on the JK mods and bailing on the jeepy truck thing.

Neat project Toby. BTW, I still have that early 1990s 4.3 motor that you sold White Trash if you are interested in the TBI.

[tobyw]

Thanks Steve. Are you thinking the entire engine or just the TBI setup? I might be interested in the whole thing for a different project, but this one is going to stay carbureted. As frustrating as they can be, it's fun to have something come alive with 2 wires

Toby it’s all available. Give me a call to talk... 947-1468

I just finished putting Mopar JL Performance Wipers on my JK.

I finally got my new rugged ridge full-width bumper installed with the help of a friend. I also test-fitted the Winch.
Plan to install the winch next weekend. I also plan to move the license plate to below the fairlead. I am working with a friend who is going to mil some aluminum and create a couple of mounting plates that we can attach to the bumper.

Cool looking tow hooks

Got the winch mounted today. Talked to a friend who has access to a CNC Mill and we are going to create some aluminum blocks that I can place under the fairlead to move the license plate under it and allow the license plate to sit vertically. I don't really like how the license plate currently sits. it would be very easy currently for it to get ripped off.
