I bought a light with magnetic ends at Marks Work Wearhouse.....,, so it attaches to the bolt on the hardtop clip.
It also telescopes out and the end bends so I can use it as a reading light too.

So I ordered this new antenna cause black looks cool and now this local station reception is WORSE.... Sad
It comes in but more static/interference then my chopped stock antenna.... looks good tho..... all the other radio stations I listen to seem unchanged.... they probably had stronger signals in the first place.

Most of the universal antenna's I've seen come with adapters to mate to the vehicle thread design. Problem with antenna or vehicle? Not sure it matters which, does it?

The stock shift knob comes off by pulling it. Lots of posts on this. Just go medieval on it and muscle it. Football helmet recommended if you are the clutzy type so you don't hit yourself in the jaw. Just pull really hard!!

For some reason the pics won't come up. Here is a link and there are a few pics there.

I wish my vents were that bright silver , probably wouldn't have bothered me as bad ! Mine were a off grey/black ... Unlike anything else on the jeep ! It bothered me for some reason ! Lol the day I went back to the dealership ( drop off loan letter ) there was a white Arctic 2dr in my old spot :( lol ! Of course I checked it out & it had color matched vent covers & handles ! Well ! Here we go $13 later ! I have the Jack Daniels edition white & black baby what you guys think ?

The white Jeep lettering on the steering wheel is cool too.

Yup, put it in 4L a hard yank and a little twist and that baby will come right off. Like he said be careful not to punch yourself in the face...lmao

The new mini mag lite LED in the grab handle. Check out how bright it is in broad daylight.
