    Best $24.51 ever spent. They work flawlessly.

    It was 2 headlights for $24.51 with tax. Cannot beat that deal. Just threw them on, looks so much better.

    What the heck is this?

    Not sure what it is or where it’s supposed to go, looks like it comes out of the front differential and was zip tied here for some reason.

    The guy in parts said he wasn’t sure if it was 1 or 2 headlights, so he grabbed 2 of the 15 in the warehouse. If it’s 2 for $23.06 even better! Looking forward to seeing what yours look like installed- I have to wait until the weekend since we have big rain coming tonight and tomorrow.

    I like that rig. I wish I had stuck around looking for a red one - my dad had a red CJ7 when I was little. There was a nice looking red one on the cape, but it was more expensive than the one I bought, further away, and the frame was likely suspect.

    I just called my local Toyota dealership - $23.06 per headlight, they'll be available for me to pick them up tomorrow. Progress continues!

    Door panel screws?

    Does anyone know where to buy the tiny Torx screws that hold the interior door panels in place? I thought I ordered the right ones from RockAuto, but they are definitely not the correct size (they're massive). I'd prefer to buy new as opposed to find some semi-rusted ones in the junkyard.

    Why I bought a Jeep

    Fellow forum friends, one of the main reasons I decided to buy my car must be shared with all- I’m guessing you all likely haven’t seen this before: Yes, it’s a YJ, but also yes, this is one of the funniest car channels of all time and as my TJ is the closest relation to the YJ he fixed, I...

    Color code is PJN, so Moss Green. Probably the lighting from the picture- I took it after I threw the new soft top on and was in a hurry with the big thunder storms coming in hot.

    I specifically bought this one because the frame was perfect. Some spots on the front quarter panel, but otherwise good. And the interior was essentially perfect also. Jeep came with 31” tires, so that’s what I stuck with (spare was in good shape, the others had dry rot). Glad to know you’re...

    I would love a set of half doors- maybe down the line though. I have seen a few sets in the moss green, but they need some cleaning up and are all like $3-400 in my area on FB Marketplace. The question would be how hard is it to put the uppers on and off- where I live we back up to a salt marsh...

    I’ll check this out- have you done it? Wondering how they compare to the quadratec or other higher end LEDs. Couldn’t find the truck lite ones when I looked last night that were recommended in other threads.

    Thanks. Already planned on basically being an April - Oct/Nov ride. My other ride is a 24 Silverado with the 3.0L Duramax. Jeep’s already helping out by keeping wear/tear down on the diesel by eating up all my short trips in town. After winter projects, it’ll spend the winters in my parent’s...

    Hi guys! I’m coming up on 40 so of course I had to make a “mid life crisis” purchase. My options were boat, Porsche or Jeep. I chose the latter. 1997 2.5L with 5-speed. Interesting story, bought it from the grandson of the guy who ordered it new in 1997 (came with original factory order slip-...
