    Wanted to share some thoughts and experiences now that the top is off (learning new things)

    I just bought a Trektop for mine. Waiting for a sunny day to install it.

    In PNW as well in Portland and pulled my hard top a few weeks ago. I agree it transforms the rig!

    3rd bulb in tail light housing stock?

    Just took a look up front and nothing out of the ordinary there. Thanks all for the responses and the help. I'll chalk it up to a role my rig played in a past life and move on with my LED tail install. Appreciate it!

    3rd bulb in tail light housing stock?

    10-4. I've been under the Jeep quite a lot in the year I've owned it and never noticed any evidence of rust. I'll take a closer look and check the front indicators as well.

    3rd bulb in tail light housing stock?

    I'm starting on my LED tails conversion and ran across an extra bulb in both of my tail light housings that does not look stock. Has anyone seen anything like this? It does not light up in any combination I have tested and the wiring does not look factory. Oddly the two unidentified lights...

    Broke stub axle and drove home—did I damage the axle tube?

    Well, I wasn't wheeling solo but the other two rigs I was with were stock and close to stock so they were not able to come in and recover me out of the rocks. By the time I got out of the rocks the other ear on the stub shaft was broken off. So I didn't get any interference on the drive home...

    Is my anticipated cost in the right ballpark?

    In the Pacific NW I'd say your price expectation sounds about right. Though I think you'd be closer to the 10k end of the range.
