They aren't problematic, but they aren't at the top of the market since they moved production. I would compare them to any decent battery, but I don't think they should be in the same price range as the Platinum at this point.

A little bit of this and that today. Re-epoxy my puck bumpstops since adjusting them the other day broke them loose. Was gonna install a black lever switch for back ul light mod but hate the look. Inline fuse for back up lights and installed some HIR bulbs. Have a feeling they'll be out tomorrow lol. Too white for my liking and i have a feeling the lumen output is lame for 90w

Smile Need exact ID on my Jeep

Where can I find the exact specs on my 2002 Gr. Cherokee according to the VIN number? Bought it used and no user manual came with it.

Also, is the flashing red light on top of the dash very near the window for the security system? At times, it flashes rapidly and now it's just an intermittent flashing.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Picked up the aw4 that was certified and warranted for 12 months from a salvage yard yesterday, it had 98k miles on it.

Gonna order new front and rear seals, a filter, new hard lines, and a mount.
