    thanks! i've buffed them clear a couple times. in my experience, once they haze you can get them restored but then they will haze again quickly. i think the UV protectant is just a coating, at least on ebay lights (which these are). so once that initial coating is gone they just don't last...

    so this appears to be the year of fixing, versus any major fun projects. so far i've addressed: fixed big t-case leak and the shifter being sloppy. post here... majorly improved the vibration issue thanks to a new front driveshaft. experimented with other ideas to try and kill remaining vibes...

    i was just under the jeep the other day and they are holding together just fine. i really won't know if the time/cost of doing the poly was worth it till a year from now - that's about how long the previous unmodified set lasted.

    The Triple Threat Grand Cherokee (2003 WJ)

    changed out the fuel pump this weekend due the assembly seal leaking (and having 190k miles on the original one). already had made an access panel to get to the top of the tank years ago, so it was fairly quick. thanks to Number7 for the help this weekend finding the problem and fixing it...
