Well, got it fixed last week. Got to drive it in the snow a lot in the past week. Its been -10 and we have had probably 8-10in of snow over the last week. This thing with the new BF Goodrich's really goes. It is a snow monster. Very happy with it.

Those lights look good. Makes me want to build a light bar.

Thanks man... I would have a lot more done on it if i had more time. But 2 kids under 2yrs old kinda slow ya down. lol

I am with you there. I have a 2 year old that is made of pure energy, and my wife works nights and weekends.

Wow looks really good, looks kinda similar to some of the same stuff I did on my blazer. have you thought about painting/ putting bedliner on the lower parts of the body, i think the black with the red would look really good.

New roof rack and LED lighting all around. The wiring is nothing like what is pictured. I made a nice wire harness and wrapped it in heat shrink.

****THIS WAS ADDED BY ACCIDENT, BUT SINCE I ADDED IT, I'LL LEAVE IT****

Connecting batteries in series does not increase the capacity of the batteries; it simply increases the overall voltage to meet your system requirements. Once your voltage requirements are met, if space allows you can double the batteries in a parallel connection- thereby doubling your battery capacity.

Series Connect
To increase voltage, connect batteries in series. This will not increase the system capacity.
Example :
Two T-105, 6V Batteries rated at 225AH Connected in Series

System Voltage: 6V + 6V = 12V
System Capacity = 225AH
To increase voltage,
connect batteries in series.

Parallel Connect
To increase capacity, connect batteries in parallel. This will not increase the system voltage.
Example :
Two T-105, 6V Batteries rated at 225AH Connected in Parallel

System Voltage: 6V
System Capacity = 225AH + 225AH = 450AH
To increase amp-hour capacity,
connect batteries in parallel.

Series/Parallel Connect
To increase both voltage and capacity, connect additional batteries in series and parallel.
Example :
Four T-105, 6V Batteries rated at 225AH Connected in Series/Parallel

System Voltage: 6V + 6V = 12V
System Capacity = 225AH + 225AH = 450AH

Got my new tire carrier picked up and painted/mounted. Very, very happy with it..

Well guys, the Blazer found a new home. It got to the point where i was replacing parts or fixing something on it about every week, it was just too expensive to keep.

So, it was replaced.... Meet Red Riding Hood, the second. It is a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Edition has the 4.0 and is very, very clean.

The pic is after a 2in lift, bigger tires are coming this week.

I did not get out there to get a pic of the tires...did you find others?

A friend of mine has a set of BF Goodrich AT on 17in wheels, I am supposed to be going up to ft wayne friday to get them. He is a flake though so I guess we will find out. If he flakes out then i'll probably still take yours.
