Just something for you to think about.
You know how much windshield wiper fluid you go through at this time of year to keep your windshield clean from road spray, road salt and such. While you are cleaning your windshield, your headlights keep getting dirtier. Clean them once in a while, you'll be able to see better and people will see you better.
Now if you are in need of new headlights, try some of the Sylvaina Silver Stars. Put some on the XJ and it was a huge improvement. And they can be found at most auto parts stores for @ $20 each for the sealed beams.

If you buy the Sylvaina lights from Auto Zone they will give you a 5$ gift certificate.

You should have asked Johnathan, looks can be decieving. I know a little about vechicle stuff. I can change my own oil, I even did a tune up on my jeep while I was 6 months pregnant. That should have been a caption contest. ;D And I am learning to weld. So next time Johnathan, just ask

I was in a hurry and was (supposed to be) at work. Kind of a nice perk being able to disappear at times.

Yeah Jenn, why don't you tell us all about your experience with headlights? Aw heck, you can even tell us about bumpers too if you want. ;D

You PUNK Do you know how long I have been able to keep that quiet from everyone else knowing? Way to go big mouth. And that only happened when he pissed me off. So the moral of the story would be to not piss Jen off, or she will hit you. ;D

I see the anti curse control feature is working fine. But it makes it harder to figure out what you were saying. However, I think we will need to know the rest of the story.

Actually there are two stories.
First incident:
One time early one rainy morning Jenn and I took two different vehicles to work because she had duty. So I was in front and turned the corner at my old house and saw the light just turned green and hit the gas to make the light. I didn't get there quick enough so I stopped for the red light. Then I look up to see where Jenn is, I don't see any headlights in my rear view mirror and I hear the sound of skidding tires across wet pavement. I knew I was done for and I let off my brakes and she hit me. She pushed my truck out into the intersection. Low and behold a cop was sitting at the light getting ready to turn left onto the street we were on at 0430 in the morning. We ran through the normal routine and then he said you two should exchange names and phone number, I said that is OK we live together. Then the officer said what did you do to piss her off. Damage report:
1-dented 2" x" 4 1/4" thick rear bumper on the MJ 1-one pushed back brush bar on the YJ 1-one slightly dented driver side fender in the YJ 2-cases of whiplash 1-distraught woman (Jenn), later very embrassassed.
The second incident:
After the November meeting and after learning some interesting information, I headed over to my neighbors house to talk to him (she thought I was going to do something stupid wait till you hear the rest of the story), Jenn was coming in the driveway honking at me and not paying attention to what she was doing. She didn't realize that she wasn't stopped all the way and hits a poor defenseless M715 Jeep Kaiser. Needless to say the Kaiser is pretty stout compaired to the front end of a stock height XJ. As she was honking at me the XJ was going forward and hit the driver side headlight on the pintle hook on the back of the Kaiser. The damage report:
1-headlight on the XJ 1-turn signal on the XJ 1-head light and turn signal bezel 1-very embrassed woman again (Jenn) 1-what in the hell were you doing man (Me)
Luckily for her I had the headlight and turn signal in the now defunct parts department.
Woman drivers I tell you.

Ohhhhhh you are so sleeping in the guest room tonight!! I can't believe you told that "story" In my defense, the first one was not my fault. He sped up to catch the light and then decided to slam on the brakes, meanwhile I am speeding up to catch him and, well hit him. Stupid boys..... And as for being embarresed, ok I was embaressed for the second one, not the first one. And the only reason why I ran into the Kaiser was because I really thought that he was going to do something stupid. Little did I know that my foot was not on the brake. Hey, once again in my defense, my mind was running a million miles a minute. If we only knew what we know now then. The Kaiser was no worse for wear. Plus, after that I told Paul that he could do whatever he wanted with the cherokee, within reason, to become our family wheeling vechicle. The YJ will only hold one car seat and next year, hopefully we will have another on the way. Oh and another note, I have only been in two accidents before that. One was two weeks after I got my drivers licensce, I clipped a guy turning, then the other accident, somebody side swiped me. Those both happened 4-5 years ago. Someday ask Paul how many accidents he has been in. ;D Jenn
