Like the cute blue snowflake seat covers?  Smile

As for the vise, there are times when nothing else will do.  Is it big enough to press driveshaft U-joints together?
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

I got some nice bullet style lights with a parts jeep I picked up and I really wanted to use them... I re-wired the lights, removed my big ugly turn signals and swapped these in... The PO used wood to mount them and needless to say, my fenders have huge holes in them Confused I re-used the wood to 'hide' the holes until I can start fender repairs... My drivers side fender is in really rough shape, but I got one from the parts jeep that a 'little' better.

That little vise mounted on the front bumper is too cool.

Alright!! Good Job Clap  I would love to go for a run, especially with fall around the corner. I would love to find some woods trails, nothing to too crazy but off the pavement and legal Wink

These swap meet find fog lights have been in the garage for years.... Mocked them up last night for a visual. Not sure about them yet?? I don't want to mount too much stuff on the front.... If I think they should stay, I found replacement 12V lamps in amber for 16$! I think if they are on there, they MUST 
be functional Wink

I had these ugly holes in the firewall (I think from a heater) I just couldn't stand looking at... I thought it would be a good spot for a little low 4K RPM tach... Now I can see vacuum and RPM right next to the carb Tongue It even lights up too LOL
