My OEM are fine, as OEM go. I'd just like an LED aftermarket, or at least HID. The ones on FB are OEM.

recommendations for 2012 LED headlight assembly? I want to replace my OEM, prefer LED but can live with halogen. There are so many options... is there a consensus here on which ones are quality? I'd rather spend $250, willing to spend $500. TIA

How’s the metal tech persimmon Orange holding up? I may have to get mine painted, basketball goal fell on it. I really like this configuration

I read here that perhaps I can get my rear 02 sensor to indicate less 02 output from the catalytic converter in order to pass an emissions inspection: Emissions Codes P0420 and P0430: Catalytic Converters | AxleAddict Does anyone have experience with this? Will messing with the rear 02 sensor...

Can't get my topper off! yeah I know you could make a stupid joke out of that. But here's the problem. I took off all the boats all the way around, including the ones on the top. And this thing still won't budge. Anybody have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

sold... got another! Thanks all for your suggestions! Yes, it needed a new front end. I sold it for what I had in it. Now I have another '86... same seller (I bought 2 at once, just took delivery of 2nd). It has no problems on front end. No A/C though! Should have stripped a few things before...

Thanks! Yes already bought 31" tires to replace the 28" and wheels as well. Completely agree re: mirrors. Did they have another type that year? And I will paint it. Looking around the site for photos of Gen1 paint jobs to get ideas.

I picked up an '86 T4R. Needs new wheels (I have new 31" Cooper AT3s to mount). Not looking to lift. Has a small bit of rust on rear left panel so may get fiberglass panel. May paint - color ideas? I like red but then again dark green, or something out of the ordinary. It's my first 1st Gen...

Do your panels replace the entire panel then? I'll have to get a couple pair, just bought 2 1986's that have a little wheel well rust

interchangeable doors? Thanks for all this info. I need to replace a driver door on a 2000. Is it the same door as on '99 & '01? Appreciate your expertise!

prices I'm picking up 2 ea, could ship one to ya! $3K plus shipping, new manual transmission.

Thank you! Does that preserve full turning radius? Also, do you know how a 33" affects mpg? What do you get?

I'm buying a couple of '86 T4Rs. I'll need to replace the tires but don't think I'll invest in new wheels right now. What's the biggest tire size I can put on stock frame/wheels (15")? Tired of searching Google and threads!

nice ride!

I just replaced the whole thing, 4 bolts and $300. Problem solved.
