What did you do to your jeep today?

I still can’t bring myself to watch the final Grand Tour yet… end of an era.

I just need to find time. we're like 3-4 behind.

pics of said mirrors?
and yea, your "roads" in the UK are designed for 70s Minis... not "real" sized cars.
I loved watching Richard Hammond driving around in a TRX with me going "that thing is wider than the road."

Like these, they are ok for what I do.

It was probably the best episode they made.

wish I could find them for that price here. we're like 5x that easily.

It drives me nuts, I can get rubbish from China shipped for virtually nothing but parts from America are so expensive nobody bothers, guess it's the same for you.

Depending on what it is, I’ll install junkyard Mopar parts instead of cheap new aftermarket parts. The Mopar parts usually work and they will last a lot longer in my experience. There are certain things it doesn’t make sense to get replacements at the junkyard but often that is almost as good as buying new and saves the budget. For those things that actually require new parts, I will usually bite the bullet and spend the money on OEM.

My Jeep is a Frankenstein monster now made up of many other Jeeps. From the junkyard:
- heated side mirrors
- drivers door window switches
- passengers door window switch
- rear door latch actuator
- rear window regulator
- both tail light housings
- full size spare matching wheel
- cabin air filter housing (mine didn’t come with that option)
- gas tank hanger/shield
- front brake rotors, nearly new
- fuel pump, low mileage
- headlight multifunction switch
- rear axle & differential
… and probably others
