Got the VisionX set. Local off-road shop had them and I impulse bought em. Wish they had a wider beam pattern but will do fine.

8 lights, control box with all different kinds of modes, remote control, and everything else you need.

I'd probably go with a bunch from Olympus if I did it again, seems like their beam pattern wouldn't be so dang focused. Paid $120 for everything.

Ah. #tbt

When I bought my first set of tires from Andy I was driving back from Helen and that inner fender bracket fell and shorted out my fog lights which were tied into my parking lights. It killed that whole circuit including the dash lights and my buzzer went off for 50 miles at night.

Ohhhh okay, that's what it is. It looked familiar but I couldn't pin it. For some reason the first thing that popped into my mind was steering box brace even though they look nothing alike.

Went to Choccolocco mountain again today. Had a good time with my buddy Richard in his JK. Got up on 2 and 3 wheels a few times and tried to reclaim some hills that denied us last time, only to be denied again. Jeep started running rough, getting a lot of oil in the air box and intake tube.

Ate a small tree on the passenger fender too

Yup, that's what he said?

You seem surprised. On a daily driven rig that's really the only way to go...

Either that or buy a selectable for the rear.

I would have figured an auto for the rear and a selectable for the front... I mean ideally selectables f&r, but ya know.

The front rarely unlocks on the road other than u turns and sharp turns in parking lots. I don't have any ill effects with it.

Trying to decide between 3/8 self threading bolts and tapping the slider holes to a 7/16 bolt and just bolting them on. Also would like some sort of unibody stiffening weather it's my own or I buy something.

A 7/16 bolt? You mean a 1/4-20?
