Thanks! They were like $45 for 4. If I were going to do it again I would have bought 2 more for $19 more. Here's their website:

They look great on there. I know I could have build some similar but I really liked these and the price wasn't outrageous. The rack is great for being < $100

 

I've noticed no one's really found you any LED strips yet. Well I have these and they work great!

I like those! Thanks for the advice. It says to add a 5 Ohm resistor to it and I was wondering if you did that. It also says that it may burn the L.E.D.s up if your use them while the vehical is running. Have you found this to be true? Were they easy to instal? is it just a positive and a ground wire? Thanks for the help!

 

Hey everyone, I'm looking for 4 KC Daylighter 130W Black Spot lights. Anyone have a good place to buy them? I'll be buying them soon and trying to get a good deal on them.

These are what I'm looking for:

Thanks

 

Well the Jeep has been put on hold for a while (other than fixing the serpentine belt whining). I am currently building a cafe racer out of a 1981 Suzuki GS 450. It is kinda a budget build along that is turning out fantastic. I might post a pic or 2 once I get it close to finished. I will continue being on here but for a while the funds and time are focused on my bike.

Thanks again for all the support I really appreciate it all!

 

nice work on your ride. I'm diggin the yota. That thing is pretty sweet also.

 

Thanks man! I appreciate it. it was a sweet Toyota.

Well I am currently working on putting a full RC 4.5" leaf pack on. It is taking forever. Front spring nut broke weld, bolts cut off, everything is messing up. Earlier today me and 90XJkid swapped leaf springs. I wanted bigger, he wanted smaller. Since I've been home I've been working on the front bolts. It has been a huge pain. I'm just about ready to sell the Jeep for parts . I will post pics of my progress afterwards.

 

Got the Lift ON!!! It took a while but it was worth it. If looks like it raised the rear more than just another 1.5". It possibly might be closer to 2.5"-3". I should measure and find out for sure.

Here's pics of the progress...

The start:



Rear came off easy:



Broke the weld on the nut (on both sides even after a bunch of Kroil [MUCH better than PB plaster and WD40 combined]) so now I have to cut the bolt and sleeve:



After cutting:



Leafs off ready to trade with 90XJkid:





Had to push the sleeves out:





Cut bolt heads:



Got the new 4.5" RC leafs



Pic of the dog and how the Jeep looked for 3 days:



Before cutting to get bolt / nut out:



Drilled holes at each corner:



After angle grinder and dremel:



New leafs on:



Painted cut metal to prevent rust:



Shackle position:



The Jeep looks great right now





Plus got to show it off at the fair tonight. It looks great right now and still drives like it used to. Very happy with the swap but took longer than planned... don't they always do

 

What did you use to paint that grill and such? I was gonna do mine, & actually started but don't like how it came out.
I bought rustoleum semi-gloss & its a little to shiny for my taste. Any advice on what you used?

 

I used the Rustoleum Stops Rust Satin Black rattle can. Super happy with the color! I go out and buy like 6 cans at a time. I always end up using it up on something.

 

Hey hawk could you tell me the measurements of those gutter mounts. Like length width and thickness. I would like to try and make a set before my shift is over lol.

 

Good looking work man. I part of you ideas for my roof rack. It is coming along good. Just waiting for the bed liner to get here so I can finish mine.

 

Okay I will try to write this clearly... the top width is 2.75", the bottom width (the part that mounts to the gutter) is 1.5". The overall length is 4.5" and the thickness of the plate is 1/8". Hope this helps! For the money I just bought them from JCROffroad

 

Well I have the tools and materials at work and I'm a welder so I like trying to make my own stuff first. But if I fail or they look like junk I will be buying a set lol.

 

Looks great! I am very glad you are happy with them!
