).Here's that video I promised, it's not great because my phone microphone kind of sucks, but I'll replace it later with one from my SLR camera that has a decent microphone.

I'm back in the states early... far to early for most of my parts to get here so I've been biding my time with the small upgrades. Tuesday I put in Rugged Ridge seats. I am so happy with how the Jeep feels to drive now. Just the right mixture of comfort and firmness in the seats. Also, If you're tall like me (6'5"), you will like that they seem to sit about half an inch lower in the rear than the stock ones, getting your head off of the roofline.

I know I said I wanted to do brakes first, but I ended up going with tires and flares first. It won't be for too long, but I don't anticipate needing to tow any time soon so I'll have some time to get that other part taken care of. I ordered a set of 5 Kumho KL71's in the 35x12.5R15 flavor and some 15x10 wheels, should be able to get them together Monday and bolt them up. Also grabbed some Bushwacker cutouts that will be this weekends project after I get back from camping tonight.

Yes, the same seat and stock bracket adapters fit both sides and I did in fact replace both seats. I have enjoyed them thoroughly.

A little while back I installed two of these lights (Vision X's XIL-PW140) on the rear of my roof rack and didn't update my thread. They have been really nice for backing up long driveways sans streetlights and loading/unloading a trailer at night. I really wanted them for a set of "camp lights" for late night illumination on a camp site that doesn't totally kill a battery. I will likely go to a dual battery setup soon, but for now it's ok.

Last night I got a bit vindictive with someone riding my bumper for no reason and discovered a nice effect as a "get off my A$$" light. He/she quickly backed off after I flashed them twice.

Yes, I set them up to come on with my reverse lights, so the switch also turns them on. They're all LED so the draw from the normal location lights is pretty minimal. The lights on the rack draw less than 1 amp each, so I really don't need them on a relay, but it keeps my wiring scheme easier.

I bought them all from www.visionxwholesale.com, Rick the owner gave me absolutely great deals so if you're in the market give him a call. You can find the nomenclature of all the parts I purchased sprinkled throughout this thread
Here's some pics I snapped with my DSLR camera tonight, way better than the usual cell phone pics.




There is NO ambient light anywhere out where I took these shots, so anything you can see is because my Jeep is illuminating it.
Only update I have is that I finally got my 4.56 gears, ARB Lockers and Compressor ordered. I just have to get my Vanco kit installed first before I take it to the gear shop.

Update on everything else:
Yukon 4.56 gears and ARB Airlockers were installed a week ago, and I'm just now running the airlines and installing the compressor. I will post a big update sometime this week with all of that completed and some obligatory "testing". That and I'm taking it to the beach this weekend so it'll be nice to test out my new compressor with reinflating the tires.

I'll snap a pic or two when I get home. Any particular angle that you're looking for?
