My questions are:

1. What happened to the drill bit from the drill?

2. Why would you grafitti all over such a pretty pciture of a jeep? that alone has to be sacraligious.

I did mine tonight. Nothing! Either I drilled in the wrong spot or all of the water has already come out. I used a 7/64" drill bit and drilled right where the mirror makes the bend to attach to the door. It is supposed to rain tomorrow, so maybe I will be able to tell if I did it right then.

Well, I am starting out small! Actually, I had already put on locking lug nuts and blind spot mirrors the day after I got PAX. Today, I got my front windows tinted to match the rest of the windows and ordered a Flowmaster 50 muffler that will be put on in a few days. Between those two things and drilling my mirrors, today was a good day

I am now entertaining ideas of a CAI and a Hypertech programmer dealy, but I think I should slow it up just a little. Dont want the wife to blow a gasket! I thought owning a Harley was expensive!

I hope to see you in person soon, Toad. It is always nice to meet folks in person whenever possible. Wasnt there supposed to be a newbie run comming up? I think that might be a good way to introduce the wife and kid to the 4X4 world. I made the mistake of taking wife 1 out on Millers Jeep Trail for her very first (and last) outing. I dont want to repeat that with wife 2, as I plan on keeping her. She has already taken a shine to our Jeep (It was my Jeep for only 5 or 6 days) and drove it instead of her car when I was out of town. Cant say I blame her!

Great free-mod, I hated the perpetual drip, did this mod quite some time back and wish all our mods were this easy/cheap.

Thanks for the tip! I washed mine for the first time yesterday and couldn't believe how the water just kept coming out.
