General Discussion / Re: What did you do to your Jeep today?
« on: March 21, 2010, 01:37:30 pm »
Had a busy weekend with the Jeep.
On Friday installed a new relay for the turn signal lights with a friend. The left side always blinked faster than the right. It was very annoying when making left turns to hear it clicking double time. After swaping out the existing relay and replacing it with the correct one (prior owner installed LED lights in the front) it now blinks at the same rate of speed! Yay to easy fixes.
Yesterday installed side steps and some of my new fender flares. The side steps were easy, 15-20 min each side. The fender flares were another story...
I only got the front and extension flares on (I'm thinking down the road I'm going to take the extension flares off; not really liking them). I'll work on the rear fenders another day. Spent about 9 hours total working on the Jeep, which include some runs to hardware stores trying to figure out what would work to keep the flares on. I'm still thinking about how to do the rear ones. I've read you need to take the wheel liner out, but I'm afraid of busting the clips. All the original nutserts were rusted in, so I can only imagine how fragile the clips are holding the wheel liner in.
And that's about it. Couldn't pass up the great weather so put the top down and have been driving it like crazy. So yes (for now), I'm driving around with non-matching flares and so far no strange looks
