Finally got around to installing the new Delta 150 foglights on the front bumper. They actually match the original Jurassic Park lights pretty closely as long as you can get the old style light guards like I managed to get. They have a very similar cross hatching.

In order to get them to fit on the front bumper, their brackets needed to be turned around. This gives them enough clearance to clear the fender horns.

To test out the new foglights, I drove the Jeep.... like this:

Also. Driving without the doors and rollcage is cool and all.. but not when you are wearing a shirt and it is 50 degrees out. Best 70 miles ever.
not to mention that you have ZERO protection in the event of an accident! Lol

zero protection would be if the windshield was folded down, you might have a SLIGHT chance with the windshield up lol

The amber fog lights I ordered from Oconee were on backorder from the manufacturer. I had to cancel the order and buy them from 4WheelDrive. Which is unfortunate because they were free shipping from Oconee... $10 more from 4WheelDrive.

the true fun of having your doors off cannot be experienced unless it's a super-hot day. Make sure you wear shorts and, preferably, sandals. Get up to a decent in-town speed, maybe 40 or 45, then hang your leg out the door. The air rushes up your pant leg and, voila, induction-cooled balls!

Seriously, that was probably the greatest moment of discovery when I first got my jeep.

You will never again say that driving with the doors off is "kind of" cool.

This will be replaced with FUCKING AWESOME

Kind of funny that the very first things I bought after I got the Jeep were new fenders, and they were almost the last to arrive. I picked these up on eBay from pershingautobodyparts03. They did a great amount of work to get these things to me and ensure that they were OEM quality. I am extremely impressed at the quality and especially the price. There is absolutely no way they made any money on these things after eBay fees, PayPal fees and Shipping. They were only $220 shipped, which is probably a hundred dollars cheaper than anywhere else.
