It felt weird taking a drill to my new $25k vehicle, but it worked nicely.

Default Excellent!

This is great, especially on a black JK. Did this after washing and it works perfectly. It really is amazing how much water is in there!

Yeah, that's exactly what my wife said when she saw me with the drill. "Why are you drilling holes in your brand new $30k Jeep?" It gets old trying to explain to her that a Jeep is not a car, it is an ongoing project that will never be finished.

LMAO!

Mine gave up on me when i brought home a brand new motorcycle...

and had it all dismantled the next day down to the almost bare frame.

She has since quit asking, she just does this --> and walks away muttering.


I consider it her own special little "Mod" club handshake of sorts... She is merely denoting her approval to my imaginative enthusiasm.

It ain't about the holes! It's all about the person who started the thread!

At least that's what I keep telling myself!

Gotta admit it though, it's a winner on the bang for the buck mod.

It's a definite winner for bang-for-the-buck, and it took some serious stones to be the pioneer and take a power drill to your new JK! What's that cliche I'm reaching for... something to do with the difference between genius and insanity being razor thin?
