Well I'm gonna rant a little. I've been having one problem after another (all minor) and it seems like just as soon as I fix one thing another pops up. Winter time is coming around to South Texas so I decided it was time to put the soft top on the YJ. I usually have a bikini top on 9 months a year and park the jeep under a carport with a cab cover. I was offshore for a month and my wife parked it under a tree, the cover blew off and when I got home the cab was full of leaves! I clean it all out and take it for a cruise and hit the brakes and a brake line blew! I get the brake line replaced after three trips to Napa and go for a test drive and the headlights go out. I go buy a new headlight switch and that doesn't fix it so I go get a high/low switch and now I've got brights and dash lights but no dims!!
Just about the time I'm gonna put a for sale sign on it the lights start working and my wife brings me a beer.
Now in reflection, I see that this is the whole reason I got a beach Jeep to begin with. Anybody could go buy a new one and put 2000 dollar rims and a big lift kit, but it's a lot of fun messin' around with a less than perfect vehicle. I salute all of yall that spend your evenin's wrenchin on these old things.
