Re-tinted my markers and signal lights. A can of that lens tint goes a long way. I've done them all several times and the can is still pretty much full.

I will probably go with clear lights next year sometime. Getting tired of the tinted ones.

I'm slowly converting to clear all around. Better visibility. I still have the tint, I think I just did to many coats.

Still early yet, but so far I've cleaned the beast out. Couple weeks of piled up trash and dust finally got too annoying....Think I need to put some LocTite on the axle side track bar bolt. I can feel the steering shift when I go over a big enough bump....Not exactly heart-warming...

That was first run, too many coats.

Second was just in even.

Third time I sanded them smooth and used clear coat.

Fourth time I sanded them without removing the tint and just added clear.

This time I just used paint thinner removes all the tint and went with a lighter coat. Still doesn't look how I want. Like there's no happy median between too dark and not tinted at all without it looking splotchy.

Ah well I will get clears eventually. I found some sweet taillight housing on eBay that have clear instead of yellow but still have red. They're $90 though.

Well I had an exhaust leak...thought it was a rotten muffler the way it sounded. Put in up on jack stands and thought that I was going to get myself a new turbo style of muffler, only to find that one of the nuts that connected the muffler to cat was missing and caused the leak. I'm the type of "if it's not broke don't fix it" person, so I'll wait until it needs an exhaust system.

Thank you for saying 4x2 and not referring to your Jeep as a piece of lumber.

It's nice that it doesn't take up much cargo room but it holds a lot of stuff.
