X2. There are dozens of threads here about mirror RElocation, all of which would be obsolete if someone would just come up with a decent LOCATION bracket. My dealer told me they had them on the doors to discourage door removal because of liability. He even told me mopar didn't make a relocation bracket... Love my jeep, hate the liars who will make any story off the cuff to sell one.
My $15 home made allthread and autozone mirrors have made up for his ignorance 100 fold

I'm not a fan of the plastic grille with huge slots inviting rocks and bugs into your radiator. I mean, I like the classic Jeep look but how about some protection for the rad? I got my Jeep last November and my radiator's pretty dinged up. Lotta gravel and stones around here in the winter.

For a rig that is "supposed" to be designed for off road use, why in the world would they use a type of plastic for the fenders that is so damn hard to clean...???!!!...

What is the meaning of this word "clean"? I don't think that's a JEEP term.

Not worried about the clean... but they bend real well...

Why put the side markers in the front fenders to get knocked off... when they coulda put them in the quarter panel well out of the way...

I love how they added nearly 1000 lbs to the Wrangler (TJ vs 4dr) and thought an extra 12 HP would do the trick.

I guess when the minivan market went under they had a lot of engines to get rid of. Maybe they'll run out soon and next year's model will be more powerful than my grandma's sewing machine!

I actually love the stock fenders. (Ok, maybe like them). I have bashed them into several trees and the pop right out. They look like crap, but they are tough buggers.
