Oh Oh one more thing, If you put a piece of metal over the bulbs on the basket, (sorta like on a stop light) that way you can have them flush I think it would be bad ***!

HEY!! I just noticed those are the same rims I got. What are yours 15x7 or 8?
The picture never showed they had pinstripe in the ad.
First thing I did when I got'em was sand the paint off and repaint lol

Finished the lift today.
~3.5" budget boost... perfect height, flex, stiffness and ride quality
It is firmer than the mushy OEM components, which brings out those Jeep interior squeaks and rattles... but i drive with the stereo cranked anyway so not a problem.
next up injector swap and leather seat swap

not saying anything about durability of that bumper or roof rack... but I will say that for what you used as material it surprisingly looks pretty good from the pics haha.

thanks guys
the bull bar is solid as hell... shakes the whole jeep when i shake it, but it is just galvanized steel so it would crush if anything actually made significant contact. The 3 bumper pieces are just thin sheet metal so one rock would destroy them in a second.. but when that day comes i'll fabricate something stronger. As for that roof rack I could probably chuck a fat girl up there and it would hold... i used an entire 10 lb roll of welding wire.
I've impressed myself with how good everything turned out. Sure its a little crooked but i've messed up LEGO structures before and I had instructions, been winging this from day one.
also just installed front sway bar links... i only drove it around the block with them off.
now gotta hit up autozone for some penetrating locktite and get 50 bucks back when i return the coil spring compressor
