What did you do to your Jeep today?

This is a wildly successful thread on another forum I'm on, so I thought I might as well start it here.

Today I traced down a loud squeling coming from the engine that I determined was a result of a cheap belt. I determined it was the belt by spraying the grooves of the belt with WD40 while the engine was running. If the squeling is the belt, the sqeeling will stop when you spray it.

Next I found a location to install my catch can. To do so I had to cut two bolts and trim the head of one of them. For those that have removed your stock CAI, there is a bracket just waiting to be put to work.

Here's some photos for the hell of it. I know it's not the prettiest thing you've ever seen, but it functions nicely. :)

Purchased the Innovate MTX-L Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge along with an Innovate G3 Boost Gauge and an Innovate G3 Oil Pressure Gauge. Also purchased a TH Motorsports Gauge Pillar off of EBAY and will order the overhead Gauge Pod from Speed Logix over the weekend. Should see all of that stuff arrive in the next two weeks or so

Installed the BB exhaust (best mod yet), Stillens arrived, debadged, chrome turn signal bulbs, SRT mats, stubby antenna, and SRT center emblem for the steering wheel.

I am also beginning the process of painting all exterior black plastic pieces body color (brilliant black) this weekend.

Lloyd Mats; One of the best aftermarket mats I every had after Owning many many german cars... I ordered Ultimate, but I should have ordered Luxury.. I like to have better carpet like the one I had on my Range Rover.

I have Weather Tech mats on my wife's GLK350, and I hated it.. I know some of you guys love them but I did not like it at all.. It does fit perfect and I like the lip; but it get so slippery when it's wet. feels like cheap plastic not rubber....

Aluminum Pedal. I think this is must for your SRT8... this if first car came with rubber pedal, but the feel and look of aluminum is better IMO.

Doorsill; Love the look, I knew it will scratch without one, so I got one.. but couldn't fine rear doorsill, so I only have it on front. Again, it does look good

Ipod Cable; I have 10, so i has prewiring, but didn't had cable, so I bought it,, and it doesn't work on my 3GS... don't know!!! It works fine with my wife's 3GS... Bummer!!!

These are what I did this week, HID next week!!

Boy she sure runs cool now... i just have to figure out how to get the predator updated so i can get a toon from Johan next:D onto the pics
