    Today's mod was a big one...

    I added the 20a fuse for constant power to the 12v plug in the back

    Kinda hard to see, but my brother gave me his Yakima rack. He had it on his old Impreza. Fits nicely on the two inner mounts. Came with a bike mount, but I tend to not haul bicycles in the winter. so it is not on there. Now I gotta finagle together a cargo basket for the wee beastie.

    Installed new LED headlight & fog bulbs today. I tried to replace the DRLs but kept getting bulb out error(apparently not CANBUS). I will return those and purchase LED DRLs that are error free CANBUS and install later. IMG_20170115_111528456_HDR.jpg IMG_20170115_155805058_HDR.jpg

    Installed smoked sidemarkers & replaced the bulb with an led so it's not so yellow. Also got a bath, despite the freezing weather!

    Dropping mine at the dealer today for the lift install! Should have it back in a couple of days..

    They are almost as excited as I am to get this done. They have done a bunch of Daystar lifts on Rams and such, but this is their first Renegade. I'm lucky to have a great, enthusiastic Jeep dealer to do business with.

    Hey, your rig looks cool, where did you buy your side marker? I am planning to install a hood scoop this summer and paint my hood with matte black, with a matching side marker like yours, that would be awesome !

    I looked everywhere for about 2 months constantly searching online, even tried ordering tint film and covering my stock covers with no luck. Then I was on like page 100 on eBay searching through jeep accessories and spotted these, they come with some weird led light converter, because I think it was made for Jeeps with just reflectors and no bulb already installed but I just used the covers and they fit perfectly, was even able to screw my existing bulb into the housing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/232181302424

    I got them on eBay. They come with a weird LED conversion kit, but I didn't use that part, just the smoked covers and the current lighting system plugged right into it, it was identical to the stock ones. https://www.ebay.com/itm/232181302424

    You'll be surprised my +2 MPG is not from K&N filter, actually I experimented with the tires, still same size but diff. brand, combined with adding aftermarket insulated CAI tube (it's a TJ wrangler) I also drop a seafoam in the tank and the vacuum line (throttle). I used a Fram filter contrary to the belief that K&N is good.

    Alright, so I put my new rack on yesterday; a 100$ rack from a store up here. Tonight I'm purchasing the Renegade Ready hitch kit

    Installed some Opt7 Flux Beam X headlights into the Jeeplette. Had to shave down the little locking
    tabs to get the LEDs to like up like: olo (opt 7 changed the design, no more set screw) , but they are in. Not the most even looking beam pattern (got a weird bulge just to the right of the centerline) but nothing is yellow anymore!

    Edit: Fixed the bulge, lights weren't lined up correctly!
