I've been thinking of doing the same thing with mine, still have a bunch of pine needles stuck in the carpet from the last camping trip.

Re: What Did You Do To Your GC Today
Ordered the F/R Addco sway bars, my homebrew rear swaybar just couldn't take the beating anymore.
Fort McMurray is such a rip off town, just short of 900.00 for both + shipping. Not a happy camper.
On top of that it's a custom order so will get them in about 3-4 weeks.
Took the Pioneer stereo system out of my Nissan and am going to put it in the WJ over the Christmas holidays, just have to make a sub box for the rear so I'm going to fiberglass one up that looks like the JL Audio box.

The stereo install went fine, the sub box is taking some extra time due to kids, work, the ex. Have the frame made but am thinking of working a couple of cubbyholes and a small power inverter into it. Nothing like 110v for running the coffee pot on the trail first thing in the morning.

Re: What Did You Do To Your GC Today
Christmas came again today, my F/R Addco swaybars and custom drag link and tie rod bar showed up.
Install day on Sunday and off for a wheel alignment on Monday morning.
The Addco's are solid steel so no more hollow tubing bent up and the tie rod and drag link are Sch.160 Chrome Moly. You get a workout just moving them around. I don't think I'm going to be bending any of these any time soon.

Re: What Did You Do To Your GC Today
Now those are serious!
technically yesterday i got mud all over my upholstery... I had taken my dog Dee to the park, and didn't have anything to clean his paws off with... and of course he had to run around the inside while i walked over to the drivers side... leaving a trail detailing every step...
so tomorrow Im doing a full interior detail... its long past due, as i hadn't done it since i got back from the states... Dee in the jeep for 16 hours, its going to be a job just getting the dog hair out...

Ah yes wingman prints throughout the interior always fun.
Take mine with me all the time (Sheperd) He decided to jump out the window to chase a rabbit once so I stopped and when he came back he had managed to get sprayed by a skunk. He was a real treat to travel with since we were in Montana and it was about a 17 hour drive home.

Re: What Did You Do To Your GC Today
Dee is a rottweiler mutt, great personality but has to be tethered to the vehicle at all times LOL...
that curious Rotti in him that has to know what EVERYTHING is, it just gets old lol but he's still a pup (13 Months) and just shy of 90lbs... its best to keep tabs on him... i trust him completely, but you just never know with some other dogs... if they started something, dee would most likely end it...
Today is definetly looking like a go out and cruise with the wingman though...
but is he ever a chick magnet lol... just cant bring the good ones home lol

Re: What Did You Do To Your GC Today
Well, I had a great start to the day. Got to the shop to finish prepping the WJ for surgery and found out the sewer line for our building was frozen and had backed up into the shop overnight. 480.00 for a suck truck to come clean it up!! At least the guy was nice enough not to charge me as an emergency call or else it would have been twice as much. So much for working on the Jeep for today, have to go back and wash everything down with bleach this afternoon.
