Been getting a little done. Picked up these nice led lights for turn signals. The only problem was finding a center for the pilot of the holesaw:eeek: So I used a larger holesaw and made a couple of large discs to cover the factory holes. Screwed them to the grill after centering the pilot hole in the center of the existing hole and then drilled out with the right size holesaw using the existing pilot hole for a guide. Worked pretty slick and the light fit nicely.

Also got the radiator mounted up after Troy was nice enough to move the lower inlet hose over a couple of inches so now the fan wont hit the hose:cheer: Tight fit but I think it will work.

heres what I got done this weekend. I have been trying to get everything mounted where it will go so that I dont have to drill to many holes or do any more welding once the paint is done. I finaly got the welder mounted up. Found a nice dry spot where the glovebox used to be Also got the 160 amp alternator installed. Hacked out the rear wheel wells so the TJ flares would fit. These make a nice fit with the 35s. Got the grill back on and the lights mounted. Found out the H4s are a little deeper than standard bulbs so I had to relocate the wiring a little bit Got tired of having all of the plumbing for the OBA tank (using a air compressor type regulator) So I got a Kilby type preasure switch and made up a manifold for all of the fittings. The tank will be going under the passenger seat.

Coming right along!!!:awesomework: Notice the spacing between the front turn signal bulb and the rubber on the backside where the wiring is? Shove that light in til the front is flush with the rubber ( you don't have 'em in deep enough!!!:redneck: ) There's a reason they call 'em 'flush-mounts!!!:haha:
