Just run a tap splicer into the wiring behind the cig lighter...that's what I did to hard wire my radar detector. Then you'll still have use of the socket if need be.

Still think I need to calibrate the fridge, but it did a good job over the weekend keeping my drinks and food cold while I was watching our local hill climb.

Finally found a home for the monitor which I am happy with. Have the fridge set to 31 or 29 I think. If I stop being lazy, and decide to pull apart the dash a little I may cut off the end of the cig adapter for the remote monitor and hardwire it so I dont have to have it plugged in all the time.

I recently chunked my rear view mirror for a camera and tapped into the steering column for the wire that's only hot when the keys on. It was the easiest way to get the hot wire I wanted and didn't require taking my whole dash apart. I'm always afraid I'm going to break some tab when I do that and have to listen to a rattling dash from then on.

Ended up ordering the rear rockhard cage tie in bar, and the evo mini liners just to clean up the fender wells a little more. I was getting tired of looking at the insulation and also I ran some wires on the one side for the rock lights and wouldnt mind them being slightly protected.

That was my plan, and prolly what I will do once I get some different wire taps than what I have currently.

Lol I did break one clip in the center of the radio panel which annoys me since the surround does not sit correctly anymore. But I think it was that way before I broke the clip.
 
Someday if I ever pull the whole thing out I want to paint it white to match my jeep. I planned to do that when I installed it back into the 4 door but was lazy lol.
 
Bad picture, but got my front windows tinted to match the rears which I have wanted to have done for a while. Was $80 which wasn't bad and the guy fit me in and it took 30 minutes.

Gonna paint them this weekend if I have time, and need to figure out the hose routing for both sides for the coilover res and they will be installed. I will admit they are kinda dumb but I like how it cleans up the wheel well since I am not running stock trimmed liners.

Also in the picture it's not mounted properly.

Ha
" They are kinda dumb but I like "
 
I painted the liners over the weekend, and did some minor trimming per the instructions to help the coilover res line clear....well it still doesnt so I will be trimming the liners instead of hacking away at the plastic even more.

In other news, I ordered an install kit to finally throw in my alpine head unit that I pulled from my Audi. I am not sure if I will end up keeping it tho since I was mixed on it in the Audi, maybe it will be better in the jeep. I just need to decide on a back up camera...which is really the only reason I will be installing it. If my satellite service didnt run out, I would probably just keep the factory unit. The one I have is this below, and runs off your phone.

So last night I went about fitting the alpine unit, it's nice how easy the radio comes out in our jeeps. I need to work on it again tonight and run some more wires and such for the sub so I can hook it up the correct way, and also tuck wires and figure out a better USB location but it's in. Also need to order a back up camera as well.

Camera ordered as well, and will be here tomorrow. I am undecided where I will mount it, but thinking on top of the evo fascia between the lights, or maybe somewhere on the carrier.
