I absolutely love the look that these new light give my jeep.
Pros: Looks perfect, fits perfect, price more than perfect
Cons: alignment is not perfect but pretty close (thus the 4 stars, 5 stars the things needs to be perfect, this isn't quite there but if I could give a 4 1/2 star I would)
In the end I love these lights. I would not pay 300 plus bucks a pop to go OEM. I do wonder if it is just my set. The passenger side can not be adjusted as low as the drivers side. This being said I would buy these again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great alternative to OEM.
I will leave you with one bit of caution. If you had lights like mine and were used to not being able to see in the night, these headlamps will take some getting used to. Seeing in the dark is a wonderful thing.
Thanks y'all so much for providing this product.

Champion Power Equipment 18001 8000-lb Power Winch Kit Review

Champion Power Equipment 18001 8000-lb Power Winch Kit
Average Reviews:

this winch has an integrated frame that holds the entire unit together AND it comes with a 1/4in thick mounting plate, d-shackle, snatch block and a steel roller fair lead. its perfect for its price.
i bought this unit from the local tractor supply co (formerly central tractor) after returning a similar unit (Superwinch 1585200D) from the local northern tool and equip. the superwinch was a POS and came with no accessories. its main problem was that it would bind on itself because it lacked an integrated frame. it had 2 threaded rods connecting the two halves of the unit, and simply picking up the device it would twist its self such that the mounting points for each side were off by 5-10 degrees and no longer on the same flat plane. i returned it after several hours trying to get it to mount flat and true with no luck.
the champion 8k winch is exactly what i needed. installation was simple, took about 20 minutes to unpack it and fire it up. the instruction manual is written in English, not a half-assed translation from Chinese.
it has no trouble pulling my f250 out of the mud & it'll pull scrap cars onto my trailer with incredible ease.
if it came with 100ft of cable (instead of 95) and wireless controls I'd rate it 5/5.

Order came in exactly as advertised - and on time. Light housing is indistinguishable from the original. Who knew Amazon would source these?

StrongArm 4699 Jeep Grand Cherokee Liftgate Lift Support 1999-03, Pack of 1 Review

This is a fairly simple task. It took me about 30 minutes start to finish, but I had all the tools in easy access and am pretty handy. It took longer to write this review than to replace the 2 struts.
You may read that for some applications there are a left and right strut. If you look at struts on your tailgate, you will see a left sticker (blue) and a right sticker (red) on the 2 struts.
The 4699 has a blue sticker and fits (lines up to) the left side perfectly.
It will also fit the right side, but you have to do 1 thing so it will fit (line up): rotate the cylinder 1/4 turn counter clockwise. I did this by putting the rod end (JUST the clevis part) in a vice (gently very tighten) and turning the cylinder with my hand 1/4 turn ccw. The mechanism is not very tight, but it was tight enough so I couldn't hold the shiny rod end. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE VICE ON THE SHINY ROD; if you do you will have ruined the assembly. You could also hold the rod end clevis with a pair of pliers too I suppose.
After you rotate the rod assembly it will align perfectly to the right side door fasteners.
You will need a 3/8 inch drive ratchet and a T-40 TORX BIT SOCKET. The T-40 tool is needed to remove the 2 fasteners in each strut.
Prop the liftgate fully up with a 2 x 4 or get someone to hold it FULLY up. The liftgate must be fully extended, with a little force to remove and replace these struts. If you remove a strut without propping the liftgate it will fall on you and the strut will probably be flung sideways with some velocity.
Remove the bottom fastener first, then the top one.
Install each strut with the cylinder end up and the rod end down (as was the originals). Tighten the top fastener first, then the bottom one. Use a little finesse and common sense so you don't cross thread the bottom fastener; as the assembly is slightly longer that the attachment fastener spacing.
Good luck and don't hurt yourself!

I was amazed at the price for these lifts. They were on sale plus an extra $5 off for two, plus free shipping. I couldn't touch that price at any of the local auto parts stores for poorly made lifts.
They were very easy to install and have been working perfectly in subfreezing temperatures for over a month. The OEM lifts lasted for about 8 years and failed to hold the gate up when it was cold. I should have replaced them a couple of years ago but could not bring myself to spend the $ for a good set of lifts. These lift supports are worth it so far and if they don't work out, they were still worth a try for the price!
*Update 10/26/10*
Its been about 9 months and these lifts are still working like the day I installed them. Not disappointed!

Master Flow MF-1050 Tsunami High Volume Portable Air Compressor Review

Master Flow MF-1050 Tsunami High Volume Portable Air Compressor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I did a LOT of research before purchasing this particular compressor, and despite the issues that some people have had, I still felt it was going to be the best way to go. Its a drag to buy something, then have to fix it out of the box, but after doing the modifications, this little thing is awesome and reliable.

When it arrived, I connected it for 30 seconds to make sure it worked, then got busy working on the issues I had read might be awaiting me ... and they were there, sure as heck.
Issue #1: There is a relay in back by the switch and they did a lousy job soldering it; install solderless connectors. Additionally, my relay was bad, so I replaced with better quality. (Open the back slowly and carefully). -$6 fix, 30 min repair-
Issue#2: The connector for the hose is an odd duck, so you may want to tap out the head and replace with one more usable. This is not as tough and frightening a job as you think. do some research. -$5 (connector and fitting), 30 min repair-
Issue #3: the gauge is crap, get rid of it. You can find one made for checking tires (slime brand) at an auto parts store and it screws right in. -$3.99, 1 minute repair-
Issue #4: The power cord. I use mine as on-board air and immediately hardwired using large-gauge wire, so it wasn't so much an issue for me. However, some have complained about various minor problems. Research and apply your own solution if needed.

After the mods, I agree with the majority that this to be probably the best portable 12v compressor out there. I use it a LOT in my rock crawler.
Google the name and model number; there are several long and detailed threads on 4x4 forums about this.

Fel-Pro OS34308R Oil Pan Gasket Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
On my 1976 Gremlin 258, this fit perfectly, and replaced a multi-part seal that was prone to leakage. I'd highly recommend this. There are washers molded into the gasket that help prevent overtorquing the bolts and crushing the gasket (although that is still possible...)
I wish I'd had this gasket type on every oil pan I've replaced, sure saves the hassle.

I presently use this in a 2007 Dodge Nitro SXT (56,000 miles) and a 2005 Yamaha Royal Star motorcycle (shaft drive, 88,000 miles) which are both frequently operated far from population centers. I've also used this in my previous Dakota pickup truck and my Mustang hardtop, total mileage on all vehicles in excess of 500,000 miles (206,000 on the Mustang, 166,000 on the Dakota) and no problems experienced with any of them. I consider it cheap "insurance" for vehicles I depend upon to get me wherever I need to be.
