I'm doin the h4 conversion kit and the very first thing after is making sure they are aimed right and not to high. That's the number one reason they get you cause ppl
Guess the height of them. I can see getting in trouble for them being bright that's why I think it's a cop preference thing about pulling you over for it

I've been meaning to ask everyone, for all of you that have a working stereo an antenna, no offense intended trust me, so you run the stock antenna or have a different one for either your DD or trail rig. Reason I'm asking I'm gonna redo my stereo and Atm my signal sucks gonna redo my antenna wire well check it out and maybe get a new antenna while I'm at it

So I take it you have the parking brake cable hooked back up to the brakes right? Do you feel any pressure when you pull the handle, it might just news to be adjusted this also happens when doing a rear disc swap

check the passenger side kickpanel connection splice for the antenna. It likes to come loose at that location.

if it's brand new don't do anything. The leafs will settle after driving/sitting a while. May take a few weeks.

Need a new head on 2000 xj engine i6 wondering if I can use older model heads then fab something for the coil rail. Can get a 2686 head pretty cheap and also a head of a 97 not sure what number.

yup you can, just have to fab a bracket up for the coil rail.

You do NOT want the 2696 head - this is a pre 4.0HO head and does not have enough flow for your engine.

The 0630 off the 97, or a 7120 is a good choice. You will also need the exhaust manifold off the same vehicle.

Another option is the 0331 "TUPY" head off 03-05 Jeep TJs with the reinforcing changes. You can keep your stock exhaust header with this.

Year............Casting No
1987-90......2686
1991-95......7120
1996-99......0630
2000-01......0331

Thanks I'll take a look there but still curious if people still use stock antennas or if they got something else
