Wow, nice garage.... I've owned jeeps most of my adult life.... 2 YJs, 1 TJ Sahara, 1JKU 10th anniversary Rubicon and now the new Wrangler JLU Sahara.....

I know the Jeep has its place inthis garage cause it is in a league of its own with the rugedness and it is fearless of road conditions.

997 or ferrari.... ?!?!?! Would never know which to drive.... Do I want quick and nimble, or do I feel like hearing the rage of the ferrari's engine?!?!?

The only thing I know for a fact, is that that Camaro would be gathering dust that's for sure😁

The Camaro SS was my son’s high school car. 👍🏻 Tremendous value for what you get. And I started him out on two manual transmission cars (Mustang GT & Then the Camaro SS).

Not sure if I'm more jealous of the stablemate or the stable.... The sound of that Italian V8 tho... who am I kidding, that's an easy decision.

Default Wash + Depo tail lights

Washed the car quickly and, added Depo tail lights. Found a nice set but their broke during the transit (FedEx).
Thankfully it was a small chip in the fat rounded corner (not the usual sharp one).
I managed to stick it back with Gorilla Glue (clear) and used Silicone sealant to ensure the lens was tight with the frame.
And since I don't trust my own work (with the PNW rains), I decided to wrap the lights in clear vinyl (even if it breaks off, it will be in one "bag").
The chip/repair isn't noticeable from 6ft far => which was what I was going for, nothing professional. Let's see how long this lasts



It's just the lighting. Both sides are the same (even after wrapping the lights)

Nice. Do just the fronts? The fronts aren't too bad to install but the rears are painful.

Just the fronts. Didn't want to impose on Wayne too much! Thanks for the warning on the rears. Hear that, Wayne? 😘
