    for the little gift that arrived in the mail.

    Although it will mostly go to work on a Jeep TJ - it is MUCH appreciated!

    :D

    Your very wlecome, thanks for all you have done, I look forward to working on a project together one day soon.

    Funniest part..... The GCK is being installed on our TJ as we speak, it's time to attempt to make a profit with this system. The TJ and some butt ugly blue Dodge truck that my Grasshopper Gog has are the first efforts in the domestic car circles.

    Never before in the history of Automotive has there been a Love/Hate relationship with a vehicle as there is with that TJ we own... Kris Loves it and would never let it go. I on the other hand would like something with less than 120 db noise levels, heat and AC, roll up windows..... small things in life. If I can increase the MPG in that rolling Chicken Coop, it will still fall far short a pallateable but...... Good luck with your project.

    For me, it's a relay box - and the weatherpack connectors to splice into the 15, HiBeam, LowBeam, and Fog outputs. Going with brighter headlights, proper fogs, a set of HID driving lights, and some radio equipment needing clean 15 switched current. Mine is a dual-top, Flame Red 2003 TJ Rubicon - offroad and Winter buggy.

    I hear you there! I put a Daniel Sterns E code light kit in our TJ that a local 328 owner used in his 3x8 light review a few years back. We live in Elk country and the stock lighting was terrible, leading to many near misses. I am now able to melt bugs yards out before they hit the windshield.... best thing I have ever done for this brick.

    I found this 97 TJ with 12K miles on it and I have to admit.... we have now put 100K additional miles on it over the last few years and have not had problem one with the exception of my hearing loss, frostbite (even with the hardtop on) and dehydration in the summer. I gripe about it but it suits our lifestyle/needs being in the country and I feel good about a roll cage around Kris while driving in Boulder... just driving around these parts is considered a Contact Sport. As I have found it a virtual impossibility to break the 20MPG gauntlet, regardless of ambient temp, use, terrain..... that makes this the perfect test mule for the GCK concept. With the aerodynamics of an Outhouse, dreams of acceptable MPG are a stretch but it cant hurt to try.

    One day Jim will come up with a good ECU adapter kit for our chipped cars so we can tune on the fly like the OBD II cars. Waiting...

    ;)
