97+ door seals in good shape from a local yard will do fine

They will be a little longer than stock so use some washers or I can send you some OEM replacements for a few bucks

I lifted just the rear of my 98 xj (haven't found the jy parts for the front yet.) I bastard packed the rear with some amc leaf springs. Basically leaving my old main leaf in the jeep I bastard packed the whole amc leaf onto it (5 leaves now). Lifted it about 3 inches in the back ....I have a deep rattle in the rear now when ever I accelerate of let off the gas. I don't think it's my exhaust because that thing has been rattling since been rattling .....what can I look for ? Rear dif? Wheel bearing? It's real tough to narrow it down while driving on account of it doesn't do it in neutral or while just idling ....again rear dif ?? Just looking for options ...also got a check engine light in the middle of all this P0700, P0758 transmission controller malfunction, solenoid B malf. Cleared it and ain't been back since ...was thinking rain on connectors or something

I wasn't able to find the rating. Maybe I'm overlooking it.

This was the only details I was able to find.

"Wide operating voltage range: it can apply to different types of trucks,cars,and other vehicles The appearance of fine craft and easy to install brackets
The high performance of tight waterproof, dustproof, quakeproof
Long life: more than ordinary advanced LED light bulbs, more than 30000 hours life
8000lume super bright"


"More than ordinary advanced LED light bulbs" doesn't cut it. "LED Light bulbs". lol

If you live in the Southwest and avoid water, sure, try it. I'm gonna buy electronics that are sealed and warrantied so I only need to buy them once.

What are the best lights to put on the A-pillar? I have 130w KC spot lights but they get in the way. I want a small led light to put in its place.
