    I bought a Grand Cherokee... I had to

    It does & it throws light a lot better too! I will admit that I'm spoiled in my Rubicon that has OEM LED headlights/fog lights... you know, the kind oncoming traffic hate. Compared to the LEDs, the halogen bulbs are just kind of a dull yellow but I'm not dropping that kind of cash into a $400 22...

    I'll try to snap a pic of what they look like currently when daylight returns, I was impressed with it.

    I bought a Grand Cherokee... I had to

    This was earlier today while I was out & about. I romped on the skinny pedal a bit... it'll break traction when you get on it. All said right now I have just over $1,000 into it & that's including the $400 for the WJ. Like me, the headlight isn't much to look at but it functions. If I'm keeping...

    I have a headlight polishing kit (works great on soft top windows) that helped but it won't get rid of whatever's going on with the passenger headlight.

    I bought a Grand Cherokee... I had to

    I think I'm going to use it as a winter vehicle to keep my '18 Rubicon out of the Ohio salt. I've put $600 in parts into it & it still needs bearings for the D44 in the rear. I just changed to Akebono brakes & it's a night and day difference. I went from around 9 mpg to 19 mpg. The brakes were...

    I bought a Grand Cherokee... I had to

    I quickly learned why the Teves/ATE brakes have a bad reputation... they hung up on me about ½ mile from home. I ordered the Akebono conversion.

    I bought a Grand Cherokee... I had to

    Recently, my fiance's coworker was wanting to scrap her 1999 Grand Cherokee Limited (157k mi) because she was afraid it was going to blow up & the motor was bad (no oil pressure). My lady suggested to her that I look at it & that it might not be as bad as it looks. After code reading turned...

    '05 TJ no start

    Yeah, the 2 security T10 screws that hold the ignition actuator up were easy (no hassle) to remove but the one security T10 that hold the ignition switch was in there so tight, I stripped the torx bit I had & had to run to get another one... They can't make anything easy anymore, can they?

    '05 TJ no start

    Jeeple, I'm in need of tech help!!!! My '05 TJ is dead in the water. It won't start. I just replaced the starter but that wasn't it. I tried to jump the starter, it turns over but won't start. What do I do. It's my only vehicle. I have power to the fuel pump & it primes for pressure but when I...
