dropped my transfercase, lost almost all the vibs, Flexed a little bit, and broke my rear sway bar, so i lost it. My shocks are loose, just found out... and overheated, still trying to solve that one..

Got a new Radiator to put in it, gonna bypass the stupid heater core, and throw and electric fan at it... took mine out cause it didn't work... Boring day really.

Replace them all first chance you get. They're very prone to that unlike the upgrade injectors which are available.

Last night...finished my Putco harness upgrade -- wow, what a difference! Moved the foglights to my Mazda, and now on the hunt for a 12" light bar, when funds allow.

Right. I swear the stocker sealed beams are twice as bright. I'll upgrade those eventually, but got bigger fish to fry in the meantime

My experience exactly on both my wife's and son-in-law's Jeeps. Me, I put Autopals in and used some 80/100 bulbs I had left over from my sports car days.

I am leaning towards the Autopals because I like the stock look. I was strongly considering the Rampages, but don't want to get too ricey.

I've had Cibies, Hellas, Marchals etc as I worked at a foreign car parts store. Autopals are just fine and very reasonably priced.

I suggest upgrading. Assuming it's an '88 based on your name, you want 703 injectors. Programbo sells them, along with a couple other users.
