More Wrangler questions

If I were to get a used one, what is the farthest I should go back in years. I will just be using it for street use not off road??

I prefer the 'classic look' Jeeps with the round headlights. CJ's to be exact.

You can go any year, just look for a solid one with no floor rot. One that has stock sized tires is 'usually' a better one. That 'usually' means it hasn't been off roaded hard.

I on the other hand prefer the "classic look" Wranglers. Remember, real Wranglers have rectangular head lights. I have to love that tip regarding tire size though!

I'd never liked the rectangular headlights...until I bought the YJ, now they're kinda growing on me. Never thought about the tire size tip, but it seems fairly logical, and probably holds true in the case of my truck.

If I drove on concave roads or along skateboard half-pipes, maybe round headlights would be better. But most of my nighttime driving is on relatively flat roads; I find the square headlights to be very efficient at illuminating them! ;-)

I believe that to be true, as I experienced with my Bronco back in '78 that came stock with Halogens. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com

Perhaps the OtherPoster drives a lot through old culverts and drainage pipes, where the round light pattern is of more benefit.

Well, that was me and as a matter of fact the trails I mostly run on are recessed into the ground with the shoulder up a few feet so it is like driving in a drainage pipe.

Found out the last one was 3" deep after a rain....

Man, you still can't beat that CJ 'face' in my book....
