Got my last package from Quadratec 6" KC Apollo's and a light bar that fits a TJ. I'm going to have to do a little modification on the light bar to make it work. But for $35 it was a good deal. I'll post pic's once I have it all installed. Hopefully tomorrow.

Well I installed my light bar and lights today. I should say first of all I should of just made a light bar or bought the Detours one. What a pain in the butt. First I had to get rid of the light tabs, then cut the mounting plate and try and bend it to match the bumper. Once I got all that done it was just a matter of mounting and then painting. Took me 6 hours start to finish to mount a light bar and wire up the lights. Lesson learned, don't try to go the cheap easy rout. Even though building one from scratch would of been easier and cheaper, oh well. I also mounted some Quick Fist clamps to my basket to hold a shovel or whatever I might need. All in all a good little bunch of add ons today, love how bright the KC's are.

No, it's not custom. I bought that box like 10 years ago, it's just got a cheap Kicker 10" in it with the old Kicker sub protector thing. I know there are other boxes kind of like that on the market, they just don't have the cu inches this one does. Check out rockyroadoutfitters.com they have boxes for the back.

Thanks, I have 3.5" Rough Country full leafs, 3" Rough Country front springs with 1" spacers. I've put in a tcase drop kit, sway bar drop, and need to do an adjustable track bar and new quick disconnects.

Thanks, the rack is a Yakima Megawarrior they are like $350-400 new. I picked this one up off of Craigslist for $50. The people had no idea what they had. It was in pretty sad shape, I painted it with Rustoleum bed liner and put on a new wind fairing and it looks brand new. All the accessories are real expensive too. I bought the tire carrier for $80, but I won't buy anymore Yakima accessories, I'll make my own to save money.

Bought these Neon upgrade injectors today from a fellow forum member (thank you D50) Can't wait to get these in and see how she runs.

Well did my injector upgrade tonight. Got some pic's of the progress. What a difference these make. Lot better throttle response, little more power.
