[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 435462, member: 18789"] Thanks. The skills I have all came from YouTube, self discovery, and forum browsing. I still can not weld or setup gears but I am happy enough at least being able to do 99% of repairs and I know enough to go custom with wiring and electrical projects. In some ways I would say I went too far with my jeep. It's still apart in pieces in my garage despite dismantling it almost 2 years ago now. I fully have plans to finish it up but man it's hard not to get burned out and quit for months at a time. Especially when I have another vehicle that drives great and is fun to drive, makes me feel less enthused to go sweat my ass off in the garage to work on the YJ. I do love that Jeep though, passed 9 years with it yesterday, crazy. I should definitely be back on the road with it before 10 years, but we'll see. Weird that I've now kept it mostly parked longer than the 4 years I daily drove it. AC is a great mod. I want to eventually do the same but out of practicality I'm not sure I ever will. Mainly because if it's so hot outside that I need AC, i probably want to be in my truck in that case, not the YJ. But I can certainly see the appeal if you will have doors on or want to drive it in the humid rain. the plan for mine is 100% sunny day only, and only when it's like 80-85 out or less. If it's hotter than that then it just doesn't make sense for me to be in a YJ when I have a truck. What part of texas you in? I'm in Dallas but have lived in beaumont, college station, and Montgomery as well. Great state, but wish the weather was nicer. [/QUOTE]
