Ok I Finished the Big 3 and Added a Few Ground to the Engine
First off WOW The Car Feels GREAT, idle is Super smooth, Revs Faster, Feels better.
Issues:
Battery Volts is jumping a little. Sits at 14.7 too(Little high?), Lowest its drop was 13.8.
I have UDPs (FC 2 pc) Before the battery would drop to 12.7 well sitting.
Do you think the Computer needs to reset its self?
Any isvice would be great.

Well, the big 3 upgrade makes a big improvement in charging capacity and overall efficiency... from what I have been told. I've never done this personally.
So, I'd say it's quite possible you're gaining back some charging capacity even at idle.
Daily driver 1: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport "S"

COBB Stage 1+ package - AccessPort tuner, COBB intake and airbox. Stage 2 coming shortly - COBB 3" AT stainless DP and race cat, custom 3" Magnaflow-based exhaust and Stage 2 COBB tune.

nah..I'm pretty sure 14.7 is dandy. If there were a problem, it would be the regulator on the alternator, not the car's computer.

How do you like the Cool Blue bulbs? I have a set for mine and I think they are great. Brighter that the stocks but not as expensive as the Silverstars.

Just get the Xtravision, about the same but a few dollar cheaper.

I prefer malbys how-to :)
I cant do the big 3 anymore.. because the blower assembly is in the way, the most i can get away with is the big 2 (battery post and engine lifting eye)
THE FOCUS IS GONE! THE LEGEND IS DEAD!
but hey, im still around.....
