Well then do it...

Its as simple as changing your oil. A million people on Jeep Forum have probably done this and have 500 page picture threads on it. Ask Mr.WJ about his HID install.

You can always just rig it up for the time being and then run the wires more permanently later on (i.e. at the next meeting)

Radioshack should sell one with the end on it to plug into a CB already. No wiring or adapters needed, just plug and play.

I know Matt V has some wheels and tires he is planning on selling but they are off a tj and they are the wrong bolt pattern for your jk.
Yep. Pretty sure that was me who was talkin to ya bout the tires/wheels. I didn't know the pattern was different on JKs though.

And if you wanna come by my place sometime this week, I'll throw ya a cigarette lighter plug on there. I've got several layin around and it'll take like 5 minutes. Then at the tech session well jus pull it off and wire it up right.

You can text me about when ya wanna come by (276.220.2801) and the location and a picture of it are here http://goo.gl/maps/eSUTH
