What was done to your JK this week?

No pics- I can snap some later today....but easy enough mod. Remove Antenna, Gently remove plastic cover, unbolt the 3 bolts holding the antenna plate down. (IIRC its 7mm bolt heads).... there is a small tab near the 12 O' clock position on the bracket that sits in a notch on the body: I used a rough file to extend/enlarge that notch- then finished with a fine file so the bracket could be rotated back to about the 11 O' clock position. Hold bracket back in place to use as template for new bolt holes (I just opted to use self taping sheet metal screws). Remount bracket, reinstall plastic cover & then re install the antenna.

I dont have a deactivation light in the place, its just a blank panel. In fact I have no way of knowing when my passenger airbag is deactivated. But I would like to have a switch available for that spot next to my locker switch.

+1 on that!!! Is there any way we could buy the switch and intall it in the cluster? That would be a great spot for the toggle for when I get the KC driving lights.

It snaps on/off...it was a bugger to get off....need a real thin pry stick, scrwdriver (WATCH THE PAINT!!!!!) and I worked around the circle until it just plopped right off.

Finally got my KC lights mounted and all wired up. I mounted a set of 8" KC driving lights to my LOD front bumper using a modified bracket, and a set of 8" KC long range lights to a set of Mopar windshield brackets. I also finally got the gas can/cooler racks installed onto my LOD rear signature bumper/tire carrier.
