I think the HIDs are best overall if you do it right. But expensive as ****

I paid 300 for the bed with the gate, tail lights , and a box of other little stuff. Not sure what the break down was for each. The front panel of the bed has a lot of rust at the bottom but the sides are solid.

Default 00 xj gas tank issue

my 00 xj check engine light is on and its becuase i have gas vapors leaking out of my gas cap, the metal flap inside the hose leading to my gas tank that usually closes when you remove the gas pump does not close all the way and leaks fumes. i was wondering if this is a common problem with my model and what i would need to do to fix it. im wondering if its a spring loaded flap or just pre bent metal that is wearing out and just how much ill have to tear apart my jeep to get at the problem. any imput helps.

Oh, If it's the right housings that is right. The main issue with HID's is people using improperly converted H4 housings, which just causes a ****ton of glare for other drivers. I think that's a proper setup though. I never looked into them before, because i heard they cost hundreds of $$$
