Installed an inexpensive fix for my broken headlight lens.... I had been contemplating a set of stone guards for it anyway so.... Got them for a shade under ten bucks on eBay. I was trying to find them in black, but the ones I kept finding in black were more expensive so I went with the chrome. Turns out these are extremely beefy and made real sturdy and cover more of the headlight than most that I've seen. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221201434508...S:1120&vxp=mtr

Standard "Green" Coolent is what your Jeep should have come with from the factory and is fine if you change it every two years. Zerex G-05 is a good option if you want a "long-life" (5-years) coolant, it is what Mopar "long-life" coolent (also sold as Ford MotorCraft Gold) is and was used in later Chrysler products (I believe you can get the Zerex branded stuff at NAPA, MotorCraft and Mopar branded versions are available a most Ford an Chrysler dealers).

DexCool is for GM only, it can eat gaskets that aren't made for it and should never be mixed with any other type of coolant (it turns to sludge if mixed).

Damn. Thanks for the save! I have to go back to the store anyways and I'll just exchange it.
