I can't handle that crossover.

I wanted to pick up my whip antenna today, so I hopped on the Radio Shack website and check to see what my local store had in stock. They had everything except the ball mount so I decided to roll over there, then take my girlfriend out for dinner. We got there and the guy was a total jerk! He was giving me attitude for needing a 102" when "a 40 inch will do just fine!" I just walked out on him, didn't need his crap. Ordering one online later tonight...

I found my light bar locally for $60 with lights. I'll post pictures later!

Last night I pulled the light bar into the shop while we were reorganizing it, so excuse the mess! Today I ordered the fog lights, and am taking her into the shop to see what is going on with the exhaust here soon.

Here is a picture of the light bar:

Just got back from the shop. Its not the exhaust that is rattling around. The rear trac bar needs to be replaced.

Yesterday I picked up a light bar I found on Craigslist for $60. It came with five halogen lights on it that I had planned on just trashing until I actually got the light bar in my hands and got a closer look at them. The lights that I pulled off the light bar are a very close match to the amber tail lights on the JP Jeeps! Using reference photos found on the jurassicparkjeep.com forums (click Forum at the top of this page) to compare, I decided not to trash these at all. They’re iNGen Approved! Others have paid close to $100 just for the light bar and $50 for the halogen lights that are close to the amber tail lights. This deal saved me $90! Win!

I took the Jeep into the shop today to get it lifted up so we could figure out what was wrong with the exhaust. When I purchased the Jeep the owner told me it was simply a hanger that needed replaced so the exhaust wouldn’t rattle when you hit a bump. What really is wrong is the rear trailing arm/trac bar has bad bearings and need replaced. $120 at Napa and an hour of work will fix that up.
