Won best XJ, I think it's cause of Havoc and that she's bright orange.
LJ with a bed top
JK8 truck conversion
Peas on the fire
24" stretched custom CJ7
Me and the Nugget, we were the only XJs among the Wranglers
Cool little ZJ
Atleast we had another Cherokee to park by...
Mini Jeep, has a 3 speed transmission, reverse gear, 1 cylinder engine, working lights, winch, horn, does 30mph...
Pretending to be a Wrangler
I always see this big boy on the highway, all stainless steel armor, fenders, bumpers, etc.
****** themed TJ
A beautiful CJ
Havoc
Tiggar always wins best looking CJ

New headlight tension springs, headlight adjuster screws
Retrofits came in today, features a 6000K LED 36W headlight bulb. Installing tomorrow then I have to figure out how to properly adjust them.

Is it just me or are those not stock headlight buckets?

Correct. Top is low beam, bottom is angled up and different beam pattern for high beam.
Bad pictures, I adjusted them enough it won't blind incoming drivers but it still needs adjustment. These suckers are bright. Now I'm not scared to drive at night.
Also, RC had a sale and my shocks are blown so for $100 and free two day shipping I got a set of front and rear N2.0 shocks. They've been on the misses jeep for the past two years and they seem to be holding up just fine. Anything is better than 10 year old leaking white body shocks.

Old shocks removed. Rear upper bolts broke off as expected, I have Rough Country's shock mount on the way. Air chisel didn't knock out the welded nuts, any other suggestions? I tried a hammer and a punch with no luck, i'll try again with a BFH tomorrow morning. Going to get new hardware for the front shocks as well since one snapped.

My last resort is drilling, I too, hate drilling. Especially upside down. Sometimes I wish I had a lift installed in the garage.
