LOL.. That is priceless.. I almost fell out of bed I was laughing so hard.

Attempting to get us back on topic.. Where do you guys think would be better to mount a hi-lift? On the side of the roof rack, or on the rear bumper? (I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but.. I'd like to see what you guys think)

Google-fu.. Yeah, I guess I could have done that too. XD Thanks for the inspiration, man.

What if one day Google were deleted, and we couldn't Google "What happened to Google"?

By the time you spent the money on a decent projector setup you could have bought a nice light bar.

Cheap projector headlights blow.

OK I'm going to be buying a led light bar to put on the bumper but how do I keep it from getting stolen? Should I just weld the nut?

Yeah the ones I was looking at were like $260/pair. I haven't seen a decent sized light bar anywhere near that price

you could weld it. Or use a nut or bolt with a very unique head pattern

I have a dilemma i was hoping someone else could chime in. i have a 2001 4x4 xj stickshift i just replaced all 7 u joints with MOOG super strength joints except on the rear driveshaft where it connects to the slip yoke. Ok so rockauto, o-reilly, and autozone all told me that the ujoint was a different size than the rest. all were 280 u-joints except for the one connected to the slip yoke is a 270. well pulled it all apart and its a 280 as well. Am i missing something? ive searched and searched with no luck. does anyone else have 2 different size u joints on their cherokee??
