I have a rearview mirror for keeping track of my toddler in the back seat. It works great for my pickup truck with it's heavily angled windshield, but with the TJ the vertical windshield doesn't allow me to angle the mirror into the back seat correctly...

The one concern I have about going from tan to black is about how hot things get in the summer sun. I'd be worried about the black absorbing heat, especially the arm rest and door with the top off. If I do it, I'll probably just do tan again.. but it should make a significant difference...

That all looks great. Thanks for the writeup and thanks for sharing. I'm more tempted to take on the project now that I've seen it done successfully.

My wife had a JK. Totally different rig with the 15 years of difference. It was better for her because she is not one to tinker and loved the dependability of anewer vehicle. I enjoyed driving it, but wouldnt choose to trade. Overall the JK interiors feel more plasticky (but that might just be...

BTW, it's a 4.0 2001 Sahara

TJ runs great 99% of the time but has low power initially (pulling out of the garage). The worst experience was when off-roading. We had stopped for a hike and I got back to jeep with an immediate need to get over a minor bank and the jeep really didnt want to apply any power even with pedal...

Here's another link that I think confirms the 912 is the intended bulb... but again, 922 might work fine.

Hmm... I thought it was a 912. 922 might be right as well. I've got a second bulb somewhere, if I find the packaging I'll update.

The 1995 Dodge Pickup and the 2001 Wrangler Dome light (aka Map Light, Courtesy Light) appear to be exactly the same. I've think I have the 912 bulb in it. They are pretty standard and most places should carry them. Additional info on the original post, this dome casing was used in all of the...

Jack Pass, Washington State, Dec 8 2019

By coincidence, we drove by this place last weekend and took note of all the Jeeps out front. Thanks for the review! I will definitely go there for my next Jeep work.

Thanks! I just posted a link to the bumper on their website. They list the following: "Large Class 3 towing capacity with ratings of 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight. "

Yeah, they claim it as a "full protection rear bumper". I'm not 100% sure what that means, but it is a nice replacement to the original bumper. My TJ has a bit of impact damage in the back corner by the license plate from the previous owner. The old bumper's plastic cap was busted. If...

Oh, and if you end up picking one up as well, I would love to hear your review.

It is an OEDRO bumper. They are surprisingly affordable (currently $217 before discounts) and I loved that the LED foglights came built in. I have not had a chance to test how much light they throw in the fog... but they seem fairly bright and were easy to wire up to the existing connectors on...
