I was one of those guys hating on the 4 doors when they came out. Now... I own one and would never give up my wheelbase and storage.

Beware the soon to come Latitude and its 8 (or 9?) speed tranny. Test drivers having problems with it shifting into neutral for no apparent reason. The project will be scrapped if a solution is not found soon.

To jump back to the tail light switching issue. I switched mine after seeing this thread. Love the idea. Liked how it looked. Simple to do, but after reading about the gap between the taillight housing I checked and sure enough I had condensation built up in one of the lights. Granted i could have prob just used some silicone to seal it but i Switched it back. Don't feel like swapping tail lights out when they start to blow. Owell :-(

Just did the tail light flip. Thanks for the heads up. Also is brighter when reverse lights are on when they are flipped!

Off road mirrors. Here in NJ we need 3 rear facing mirrors. These little mirrors were less than 3 bucks from autozone. They're about an inch and a half diameter. The nice thing is, is that I can turn then around without scratching if I wanted to hide them

Great Idea, i wonder if it would be classified as legal though. I dont see why not, but you never know with the laws these days

I spoke with a cop in my town and he said as long as they do as good of a job as the stock side view mirrors then they're perfect. I don't know if I'd say they do AS good as the stock ones but they get the job done
