LED. No biggie, a $6 switch, a scrap piece of flat bar bent in an "L", a couple holes drilled, some misc hardware and my brake lights are all good again.
I got the LJ back from Gene's. Both crank seals replaced and an idle-air control solenoid on order after I took the shop foreman on a test ride to show him the problem. They charged me 1/2 hr labor for the Tummy Tucker r/r :nerd: and $16 to put on a new oil filter when re-filling the engine. $68 for 6+ hrs of work + parts really aint that bad.
Kevin graciously let me borrow his trailer to tow the Jeep home since Megan had to work late. Yeah, I could have bummed another ride there to pick it up but I really wanted to try it. I've been worried for a while that I went too high with the 4.56:1 gears in the Grizzlybeaver thinking 4.88:1 would have been better and now I know for sure. So...can someone tell me if I'm supposed to feel 5000+ pounds behind a truck or not, 'cause I really couldn't tell it was back there.
