but in all honesty.. if they were that "bad" on a clean YJ I can only imagine how they would be on a upstate jeep..

its just a poor design, made for easy manufacture.  CJs with thrubolts are way better!

m4 suggest you put those junk clamps back on the shelf at nuWay, and get some Gator clamps that M4 stocks 8)

Had a Jeep nostalgia afternoon...
reminiscent of 1999...

dropped on windshield frame for paint today...
forgot how fun it is to remove the windshield hinges...  (nutserts broke off many years ago)
found where some more rust/rot has been hiding..
prob caught it in enough time to wheel down and paint.. metal is nice and solid.. just crusty...





in sticking with the theme of the afternoon I mocked up the PIAA lights I was gifted 18 months ago...
havent thrown lights on the jeep since the late 90's as well...




All while in my college sweatshirt and listening to phish...

everything was there except the  :-X
