I had heard horror stories too, but NewClown and Dukie WHEEL their rigs and haven't had issues. That's all the review I need! Took her out last night and shook her around REAL good on the rocks and not so much as a flicker. And for $20, if n when I have trouble, I'll wire Bosch style relays in and still be into it for dirt cheap.

I just hit the gas a little too hard going around a corner. I was only doing 10-15mph.
IMO short beds look better

If I were going for looks, I would've bobbed a short bed. I'm all about function.

It was designed for my front hitch, hence the length at why the ball is on top

Radiator started leaking along the passenger side seam, so I got it a new one for Christmas. Got that swapped out, which gave me more room to finally install the headlight harness upgrade that's been sitting on the back seat for the past few weeks.

about $3 for reg and I put the $3.3x premium in. I remember a time we had a gas station here have that **** ON SALE! because it was literally $1.7x and it was that cheap for like 3 weeks there. I wouldn't put that in my turbo car but my jeep don't mind....

XJ I also picked up new window seals/wiper for all four side windows and a fuel injector. I got all this for $50.00. The seat belt retractor bolted up without having to be modified, I just had to cut the belt opening a tade. I had to weld a bracket to my roll gage so I could bolt the shoulder belt hanger to it. I feel a lot safer now when my 13 and 10 year old sons are buckled up with a sholder strape type seat belt. Everybody have a good Christmas, Bobby
I would rather have 5 lap belts all around in my Cherokee. Easier to hide from cops because I'm not fond of the "the Seatbelts save lives" campaign. BUT SERIOUSLY they are way more comfortable!

Got a tree saver strap, ****** block, and clear TJ side markers for christmas. Just have to source pig tails and I'll be able to wire them in. Too cold to install them cuz I'm just lazy like that.

I used to say that til I rolled my Jeep, and then I was very thankful for my three-point belt.
