A picture of the previous owners electrical skills.


How'd you get in my garage and take pics of my CJ?
I'd put something funny here, but you probably wouldn't get it anyway...

I got a couple more things done - trying to get it done enough to take to SMORR on Saturday.

A little African Engineering - my temporary solution to the wiring hiatus that was filling my fender well!


Used a new brake line for a 97 wrangler to give me the length I needed!



Got these new soft doors on the cheap - hoping they will keep me from freezing my off on the way there!

That brake line is to short man, it's going to come apart when you droop.

It sure looks like it from the pic. Could get yourself hurt if you lost brakes in the wrong place out there. Popping that line will make you lose them in a hurry.
