    My Jeep sustained damage in an accident

    Getting them to flip for a new frame may be a problem. A used one would probably be the route they decide. I know here in Oregon they are required to repair your vehicle to "the state it was before." Thus meaning the frame was used when the accident happened, so it may be replaced with another...

    What would you pay for a salvage LJ?

    The biggest problem with reselling a salvage titled vehicle is no one will loan on it. I always hear oh my bank will. Until it comes down to it and they find out they will if they give them a title to a non salvaged vehicle for collateral that is worth the loan amount. To me this is not loaning...

    Suggestions on LED headlights and LED taillights?

    Looks like the quadratec lights are one of the only ones that have a light for the plate, so much for the chrome ones. Have been pulled over a couple of times for no plate light, not gonna push that anymore.

    Need help deciding what to do...

    Swapping body/frame is a lot of work, more than most people realize. I myself would sell them and move on to something new.

    Auxiliary Transmission Coolers

    Another thing you can do to help lower your trans temps is adjust your detent cable so that your not lugging around town in drive at 30 mph.

Which seem to work better projector or led? Have a bunch on ebay for around the $100 area for a set for the front or...

    Loud pop / clunk in rear-end when turning from stopped

    If you have rear disc brakes you have parking brake shoes that are located inside the center of the rotors, while you are back there I'd pull the rotors and check them.
