is it that complicated even by looking at the picture? You can find all of those supplies at the good ol' Home Depot...

revised burrito warmer

My orignal warmer worked fine but I deided I wanted something wide enough for a slice of pizza and with a lid to minimize dust and to keep the food in the warmer so I threw this together

nice, i also recently re-did my oven. now i can fit 2 burritos instead of one!



it also now holds one of these pans easily.

you can pre-make meals in these pans, then wrap them up in foil and just place a pan in the engine "oven" at lunch on the trail to heat up for dinner back at camp (provided you are wheeling all afternoon).

the old one was pretty much the same thing, but not as secure of mounting and was one size smaller pan:

where did you get that pan? I'd love to have one of them in the XJ... the engine runs at 210 like a clock... I could roast a turkey..

Very nice theksmith! yours is quite sophisticated, mine is just two shallow baking pans a d a pair of small brass hinges held closed with a binder clip, I think I'll look for a cabinet latch like yours, that's much cleaner

thanks

is that just attached to the valve cover itself or do you have a bracket in there?

 

[trust]

simply attached to existing bosses in the valve cover, it's a 4.0L jeep head and valve cover on the the 4.2L straight six with MOPAR efi, when I saw the flat VC and the mounting points there already it seemed a no brainer

FWIW, it is not as effective as i had hoped at highway speed, on the trail it works great, on the open road, not as well

. I did the highline on my previous Tj. For only 25.00 in bolts and washers it's the best mod out there.

 

[4X4NDAD]

. This may be a better look. 2 inch spacer lift, diy highlined. Yj half doors. Front bumper hack with ebay light bar.

 

[4X4NDAD]

. My new ride. Less miles on it. Bumper hack. Stubby antennae, 18/59 springs. And still going.

Oh where to start.

Built soon to rebuild Dual battery tray battery hold down.
In the process:


Finished and wired works great.


Over head console with switch and gauge pod. (Have since modified this)


JK windshield light brackets:





Built my own limb rises cost about $12


Bracket that mounts to OEM booster mounting bolts for a 4 relay, relay box.


Built a tail gate speaker box: 2x4 frame with 3/4" shelving made to withstand a beating and coated with bed liner for water resistance:

Amp mount to the side of the box.

 

[HAFICON]

Modified console to work with sPOD have to build new CB mount as the current one was for soft top only.


OBA air manifold, aluminum block with sensor and locker solenoids, all hose is braided stainless steel with Aeroquip style fittings.


Lastly not really home brewed but I did not pay someone to do it so yea it is Ignition hot distribution block for powering switches or really low amp stuff.


Mounts behind the glove box:
