Bumper looks great man... I did a little more thinking about it and I think I came up with a way to make your switch setup the way you want it.



You'd just have to pick up diodes rated to handle 12v and however many amps your lights are pulling.

Basically what the diodes do are act like a check valve. They allow electricity to flow in only one direction so you don't end up back-feeding anything. It either flows through the dash switch to the relay or through the reverse lights to the relay.

I was expecting much more of a fight from the old bumper, but after a good soak in pb they came out pretty easily, no broken bolts and I am a happy camper!

Still to come this week, I'm going to bring the jeep into work to weld up the unibody tie ins

Here are a couple other pics I took with my d3200 that day

It's the same height it has always been just a simple 3 inch lift.. But I'm looking to piece together a 5.5 as soon as the parts become available from Scott's jeep. And I've always wanted to do the rear quarter cut and fold... But now with the bushwackers I don't know if I will

Your Jeep looks good now, it'll look awesome on ~4.5 inches of lift and 35's.

Yes definitely that would be awesome. We really do. I'm going to start a thread in the northeast section soon we need to spread the word. I started one last year but it didn't get much interest
