Very nice build man. Did your adjustable track bar help you a lot? I have a 4.5" Rough Country AAL that I'll be installing in a few weeks that I bought off a wrecked one that was like new, but I won't have a new track bar. Just wondered how you got along with yours.

Also, if you're still contemplating the Rigids you may wanna look into some other companies that are probably cheaper and the same thing. I know of two other companies, but I think Vision X is still expensive but there's a company that's called Bulldog Lighting that makes the same thing for quite a bit less.

Thx! At first I did the drill a hole over and used the stock track bar and it was ok but it started popping real bad... So since I've got the adjustable it's fine but I haven't done any heavy wheeling yet so we will see over time... I really want to get custom wj steering and track bar

Ill check out the lights.. Probably gonna wait on that awhile looking into gears and lockers probably or axle swap

I've really considred getting it for mine. My stock track bar is shot as is and I'd rather just go to one right outta the wrapper. I'm surprised more guys with older Jeeps haven't gone to these light bars yet. I've seen an XJ covered in Vision X lights and it was outta this world bright. If they weren't so damn expensive I'd mount a few on mine! haha

Looks great. I've been eyeing front and rear quarter armor for a while. I doubt it will ever happen.

Are you thinking youll get some rears? JCRs are awesome with the LED boxes and I really like OR-fab's with the bar welded on.

Anyhow, thumbs up!
