That is the one I use.  I had one side stop working, but it was a super easy fix to replace a broken reed valve.  The thing does run HOT!  lol.

I took my rig in to  @OnPointOffroad to have everything looked over before a couple road trips this year. I knew I was in need of a serpentine belt but wanted everything else checked for sanity's  sake. I also have been hearing an annoying rattle and squeak that was coming from points unknown. I have been looking all over and had zero luck finding it. Turns out that noise was the rear break pads and clips. Joe said in the JK's this happens when the pads wear down the clips come loose. In turn everything back there squeaks and rattles. Who knew.

 

 Other than those two items everything else was good. Joe and Vince did an awesome as usual, thanks guys!

I went down to my local Auto Zone today because my Duralast AGM battery was 3 years old. My gut was saying "Get it tested, it is old and may need to be replaced", usually I ignore those messages but this time I listened. It tested bad(Not sure I 100% trust those testers) so I bit the bullet and  bought a new one. I decided to splurge and went with an Optima Yellow Top. That hurt the wallet to say the least 😬  but those are good batteries based on everything I have read.  The store offered to replace it so I let them, it was the least could do after what they did to me. 🤣

I have been looking for a no drill tailgate table for a while and I finally found one.  I found the Panoyu Tailgate Table on Amazon. This table works on JK's and JL's, the JL's do require some drilling though. The drill bit for that and the panel removal tool are included along with all the necessary hardware for both rigs. 

 

The JK's uses two T-bolt washer and nut combo in the existing holes where the wire channel cover was and then two more in the bottom vent. The T-bolt is held in place when tightening the nut by an included alan wrench  Over all the install is really easy. I only had to make a couple of minor adjustments on the bottom bolt locations to get it all to line up. Once lined up I tightened everything up, checked for rattles, found none, and called it good.

a tailgate table is one of the most useful mods - you'll wonder how you ever got along without it!

Betty Lou is all paid off and all mine. I got my grubby hands on the title and everyting. 🤘🤘

 

 

Saturday was a spa day for her. I gave her an oil change along with air and cabin filters for good measure.
