Replace leaking hardtop rear glass seal (oem) and added weather strip to the tailgate to hold glass closed
put some of that never drying blue dye on the handle, Prussian blue...it makes the perp look like a bank robber and it does not wash off and takes months to wear off! just use gloves when you open it yourself, nitrile ones.Barricade, or Fishbone, I think. It’s just like most others out there. The locking mechanism on it clears everything fine but I am going to have to figure out a way to lock it. Went to a store the other day and came out to it opened, when I know it wasn’t when I went in. I know it didn’t bounce itself open because it’s solid as hell and doesn’t move or wobble at all. The carrier part doesn’t touch any of the bumpers at all, so I’ll have to fix that too I guess.

How difficult was it to change out the stock taillights for those round ones...?I relocated the 3rd brake light wiring yesterday in order to make better use of the tailgate. Had to wire it up twice though because for some reason black on the tub connects to white on the tailgate???

Drilling holes in the tub sure does come easy after a while
That's my favourite wheel....you'll have to show it off when there on.
Not that difficult at all. You need to measure a few dozen times to make certain you're centered / even on both sides, drill a large hole with a hole saw, add a new ground (I used a self tapping screw into the wheel well, and solder the new connections to the existing harness.How difficult was it to change out the stock taillights for those round ones...?

Id like to see how those look when you get them on. I think I like them!
The old mounting locations will be cut away when you drill out the new holes. I love the look. After following @Daryl on a run I had to do it.Oh its that's easy?? thought there was more to it than that haha... and the old holes are all covered or cut out as well ?
Reminds me of the older CJ's, love that look.
Do you remember where you got them from?
I need to find out if they are allowed in New Zealand without the amber turn light.....I prefer the solid red.The old mounting locations will be cut away when you drill out the new holes. I love the look. After following @Daryl on a run I had to do it.

Yeah they do look so much better....I have seen American Imports running around with your standard red tail-lights but I have a feeling its allowed based on the year of the car. I'll do some digging.
