Saw this pull in while waiting for my Chinese food on my lunch break.  I didn't get a chance to talk to the lady that was driving it, I was busy stuffing my face with General Tso's.  It's definitely a daily driver and isn't perfect, but overall it looked pretty solid considering the wrath of road salt around here.

Yes, it does look to be pretty solid.   She could use some head light adjusters.
I'm right 98% of the time, and I don't care about the other 3%.

Yeah, the passenger side low beam isn't offering much usable light.  I know what that's all about, broke the adjuster on mine the first time I drove it at night and decided to adjust the lights a little higher.  2 turns, then snap, my headlight is aimed 10 feet in front of the bumper.

I don't know why it costs 8 bucks for 2 pieces of plastic and 2 screws, but at least they're still pretty easy to get.

There are a few Eagles floating around Bedford. About two years ago one of the car lots had an Limited for sale with about 60,000 on it if I recall correctly. It looked a lot like that.

Did you shop the License plates out? I see no evidence of places or Tags. That is scary cause it might get impounded if you didn't hide the plate

Yeah, I retouched it to remove the plate.  I don't know how I managed it, but it almost looks like it's just the bare metal bracket behind it.

Great sighting!! and you had me fooled too I though it was plateless as well. I thought that maybe that white object in the back window was a poorly placed temp tag.

Looks like you did a copy/paste from the bumper strip.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

Yeah, I see it "NOW" that still is the best cover up I have seen EVER. most the time it's just a colored box. You sir should be PROUD. Didn't even give the state it was from away. I have to egg you for this.

I actually used one of the blend features with windows 7's photo editing software, I really had no idea what I was doing, I just got lucky. If I can figure out how I did it I'll let you guys in on the secret. It does look like a copy/paste of the bumper strip but that's not what I did, at least I don't think so unless I really had no idea what I was doing!
