Still beats working! If my OCD doesn’t get the best of me it should go quickly. However, I’ve already pulled the chrome KMC from center caps to spray and now debating black beadlock bolts instead of gold lol. Time will tell.
No personal injuries. That's what matters.
Sadly, no. I have no dash cam and by the time I got my Jeep back in control the truck was already gone.No personal injuries. That's what matters.
Were you or a dash camera able to record the license plate on the offending driver's vehicle?
Looks great! Definitely prefer the black to silver lug nuts. Looks like a fun DIY for the day too.Got the lug nuts swapped out. Much better than the silver ones the factory puts on.
Glad to hear the damage was minimal, but how rude of them to just drive off. Good think all is okay.Got in its first accident. I got sideswipped on the freeway today by a pickup truck that wasn't paying attention, hit me and then drove off. Only very minor damage to the mirror and now have some silver paint on the tire. Realistically I probably did more damage this weekend driving on rocks than this so just grateful I'm ok and that no one was in the lane to my left when I was hit from the right.
From what I understand removing the aux battery in the diesel is a simple matter of removing the wires (wrapping where necessary), removing the main, undoing some bolts, and removing the aux. There's an incredible amount of heated debate in other threads about the "correct" way to do what's apparently simple on diesels.To connect and safely run a ring terminal to SAE pigtail from the Auto Start Stop (ASS) battery is so easy on the diesel
It's hit and run. That's significantly more than just rude.
Yeah that's LA for ya. This is the 3rd hit and run that's happened to me since I moved here.
Any chance of more info on the rf relay? Sounds like a good use for the remaining button on my visor.I really wanted some driving lights for both on and off road, but the problem was I have the plastic bumper. You can’t simply bolt lights to it as it is fairly flimsy, if we’re being generous.
Mopar makes some brackets but they space the lights out further than I wanted. I prefer the lights close together; no more than 1-light diameter separating the 2 lights. FYI Iwanted the ARB lights but they are like $800. The knock offs on Amazon were $89
So I fabricated some steel brackets which held a square tube section that I could mount the lights to; allowing me to locate the lights wherever I chose. Worked great, but as usual for me I overtightened the bolts and crushed the square stock. Typical
With the lights installed I had to find a way to turn them on. I do not have the factory aux switches and to be honest the kit is pretty expensive. Two things however worked in my favor: One the Jeep came pre-wired with RF garage door openers on the sun visor and two, I don’t have a garage. So it would seem I have have aux switches after all, if I could only figure out how to use them.
I saw a post here where a member purchased a RF relay to use the garage door buttons to control other things. Well now I was off and running! A 30 amp RF relay from Amazon and I had light!
Super fun project. Love all the tinkering. Love the results even if I crushed the square stock a little, ish.
What dash cam would you recommend?No personal injuries. That's what matters.
