You completed more upgrades in a week than most people do in 10 years. Nice Jeep. Not so keen on the smoked lights but looks pretty awesome.

Damn. That was fast. Looks awesome with 2 exceptions.

1. IMO, the LED light bar would look much better mounted under the hoop on the front rather than on top of it.

2. IMO, the LED light pods on the top of the rear looks like some mickey mouse nonsense. I'd either try to fit them under the cross bar in the back or flush them in the rear bumper.

Other than that it looks awesome.

What size tires ya got there? 33x12.50?

I might change the led bar anyway, I was going to put it below the bar in the first place but out it there and never changed it, also the led lights on the rear I didn't want them there any way lol it will be changed soon trust me I'm going to get the new JCR rack on there any way its just temp stuff always changing stuff up anyway, Also yes I had it on JCR Facebook page.
