They have held up well and still look great.

I like the Ecco's and have them on my Jeep, because they are easy to wash and get all the dirt off whenever I feel the need to do that.

OK... I'm going to throw a wrench in the engine... I have had both the Trektop and now the Smittybilt Bowless Soft top. First off I liked the Trektop and the flexibility it offered with the flip back "Sunrider" option and almost bought another one for my current Jeep, however after looking at...

I've had many Jeeps, but even more Miata's and BMW's. All of which to a greater or lesser extent I have reconditioned, restored or simply built out to my liking. This last TJ I have I finally have it almost to my liking. Back when I bought it my wife just rolled her eyes and said, "Here we go...

I reminds me of a second generation GEO Tracker.

I've never heard of that comic strip. I guess the last comic strip that I followed was Calvin and Hobbes.

I bought a torch insert for a Zippo and it has been one of the best pocket cigars lighters I have owned. It basically just replaces the standard insert for a Zippo with a two burner torch and it works great and still maintains the Zippo case. I didn't have a Zippo already so I purchased a...

From what i understand it wasn't an attempt to remake the original movie, but an attempt at another movie version of the original book. Bill Murray and another guy (Can't remember his name) wrote the screen play during a long cross country buddy trip. I think in the first movie the main...

I'm generally not a fan of remakes of any kind, however I have watched "The Razor's Edge" with Bill Murray a few times and found it a uniquely thought provoking film. It wasn't until after I researched some of the themes in the movie that I realized it was somewhat of a re-imagined version of a...

The title of the article is misleading. (Of course Jalopnik is not exactly known as a bastion of Automotive journalism.) "Warn is 'making' Jeep wheels" I'm not going to take my time and research it, but I'll be John if Warn is actually making these wheels at a Warn manufacturing facility in...

I have sold a lot of vehicles over the years. I buy them, recondition them, drive them for a while and the flip for fun and extra cash to pay for my car addiction. I honestly didn't think people could get any dumber than Craigslist years ago, but somehow Facebook has topped Craigslist by a...

I see... You want body colored flares. I didn't want paint on mine at all just the original matte black plastic.

When I got my Jeep repainted by a local shop, they were going to paint the fender flares for no extra cost, but the guy said they would probably end up looking like shit in a short period of time because they would not hold the paint well. Mine weren't in bad shape, but I knew after the whole...

I tried to call and even left a message.

That is slick as owl shit! I could just about sell my truck if I had that... But I love my truck.
