temperature gauge installed as well, straight to the tank and allows me to switch the pump off when the temp is at the right spot. showing celsius, which is what we use this side of the border.
Wow
Wow that is seriously awesome! Nice work man. Makes my post feel lame...
But I did get my newer spare put back underneath, so I have room to haul stuff to Moab.
I like how truck axles look with mud tires, just seems right. I like your Trail Diggers Jordan345
I changed the oil too, driveway flex!
Front at full droop - Swamper porn
Rear was getting close to full droop
Crawled around and looked for squeaks and rattles. Put a couple of zip ties on things. Hit all of the hinges/latches/locks with white lithium grease, had never done that on this vehicle. Also checked all of the fluids and inspected things. Saturday morning she is going to tow the Jeep to Missouri from Ohio, on the way to EJS

Brevity, your spare tire is mounted upside down.
The paint is Duplicolor Storm Gray..

Did you just wire it to a switch inside @XAlent?
I just ran the cable down under the bonnet heat/sound proofing then to a toggle switch next to the battery. Didn't think it was necessary to be able to switch it from inside and have nearly run out factory spots for switches inside. Those that are left are earmarked for other things 
Its a great thing, so much easier than trying to juggle a flashlight when you're working under there.

I'm in Australia, I got it from an electronics place called Jaycar. I just put a long length of double sided tape along the back, gave the underside of the bonnet a good clean, I can't see it coming off in a hurry!
There's plenty similar on ebay, just search for aluminum backed led strip light

Weighed my cargo drawer box. The driver side setup has a space in the back for 2x8" subs, 24" heavy duty accuride 3607 slides and a 26" drawer. Carcass made of 3/4" 11-ply birch, drawer sides and bottom 1/2". Weight includes wings and front panel as seen in photo. 70#
I didn't have the drawer for the long passenger side box. Same total dimesnions but one long drawer and the super heavy duty 9308 locking slides and a 3/4" drawer. Carcass alone is 50#. I'm guessing the drawer, side wing, front panel, etc will bring total weight to 80#. So total weight of drawer system ~150#. I believe the 3rd row seats weigh 95#. I removed the driver side seatbelt and some extra mounting hardware, so I probably gained a net 50#. Not too bad!

As sturdy as that thing is you could easily reduce the weight by perforating the heck out of it.Weighed my cargo drawer box.

BB is 2.6#/sf. That would take a decent amount of holes to amount to any significant weight savings. I was actually pleasantly surprised that is wasn't heavier! They sure feel heavy lugging them around.
Cool. I was asking cause I thought maybe you did a switch activated by opening the hood, that would be slick. I kind of like the idea of a switch by the battery as you may not want the light on in the day. I also a agree that a switch inside would be unnecessary, unless you want some cool engine glowI just ran the cable down under the bonnet heat/sound proofing then to a toggle switch next to the battery.
