Then ditched the roof rack because of gas mileage, weight, drag and money.

Attachment 286285

When you get to a roof rack make sure it has a wind deflector. While lights look cool the wind deflector is nice too have. If you can or would like to learn you could weld your own and be a lot cheaper. I made mine for around 200-250 dollars.



It is 52x72. 1 inch steel tube, metal grate, jcr gutter mounts and a aluminum wind deflector with a Yakima sticker to look legit.

Yeah we were gonna have a deflector with the jeeps name etched into it. And a light bar on top most likely.

don't put a light bar on top, either put it in place of the wind deflector or somewhere else.

I put the switches next to the steering wheel on mine in a little empty spot that looked right. I use my ash tray for coins

Thankfully today my Dad changed the fluid and it all seems fine if not better than before. Pardkn amy grammar errors ill do this mostly from my phone. Above my 1998 Limited after my Dad tuned it up in his friwnds shop.

trails? That's where I learned to drive. Haha, bought my jeep for $900 when I was 16. I've put about $1500 into it fixing small things and getting caught up on maintenance for the past 2 years and it's still stock
