Re: Important

Very nice. Personally I think anything but a trail rig needs an android auto/car play stereo. I thought Id have the jeep ready by now to run towards you, but now I need to swap master cylinder at least. Or so I think, 130+ in the garage all day so jeep may sit til Moab.

Just got back from a woodworking show in Vegas. Food was good, the strip kinda sucks. Got lost while somewhat intoxicated in Ceasars palace for a bit. We will see how SEMA turns out, unfortunately lots more people from my company will be there so I may have to behave.

Looks like I’ll be in Vegas in Sept 5-8. Possibly San Antonio Sept 17-21 and Moab Oct 15-22 ish.

Ready to do SEMA again, but won’t be this year.

I'm so happy my JK came with one installed, because I would have never spent the money on one. I can use on x as my navigation and should be able to follow trails from the car stereo.

Its finally starting to cool off at home, but now I'm off to fabtech in Chicago won't be home til end of September. Probably just gonna fix my leaky breaks, maybe toss in a trans crossmember and build a cheap traction bar. Then grease the trailer and roll out.
