Procomm CB Antenna Kit & Rugged Ridge XHD Hood Catches Today
Purchased online through Extreme Terrain. Received them three days after ordering. Pretty quick install on the Hood Catches... about 30-minutes. Definitely more stout than stock. Kinda got freaked out with big time hood flutter last week during massive winds on one of our local high-rise bridges. See my write-up on the antenna kit install under the CB & Ham Radio section of this forum.

Re-did my rear CB antenna setup with a Firestick Firefly tunable antenna, then went to tune it and it was spot-on. I then hooked a cheap weatherproof 5w PA speaker up to my CB, placing it under the hood. It isn't super loud, but loud enough to get someone's attention. I don't really have much of a specific purpose for it, but I couldn't pass it up for just 8 bucks.
I then changed the spark plugs. I went with NGK Irridium IX plugs. The old ones didn't look too bad, but the gaps were starting to widen. It feels and sounds great with the new plugs, so I think they are gtg.
Tomorrow I'll be changing the oil and maybe the rear diff fluid. I'll also be adjusting the headlights just a tiny bit.
I'm getting her ready for the big week in Moab, so I've got a bit of a punch list.
Update: changed oil and serpentine belt today. I put on a new Fram Ultraguard XG3600. It gives a little extra oil capacity and is probably the best built filter I've seen. The belt is a Goodyear Gatorback.
The rear diff and headlight adjustments will wait for next weekend.

Look what the UPS man left for me today. A set of 4:88 gears for the Rubicon. Dropping the Jeep off for install tomorrow. Can't wait to see what difference it makes.
