Old fart with a wrench
Lots of places have them, but I got mine from quadratec.com for $1.49 each. 1/2X20 thread bulge nuts, 3/4 wrench size.

So I've been thinking of where to put the two 6" lights I have on the ZJ and I'm thinking about somewhere on the cowl like this
I'm looking for ideas on mounting

I did see some mounts that screw onto the pillar, but I don't remember where. The screws are inside the edge of the door opening so you don't see them. I think they were for an XJ, but they should fit a ZJ. You could mount them as high or low as you want.

I remember seeing a build thread where someone mounted them on a XJ but don't remember where. I'm also still trying to figure out how to mount my light bar to the front bumper

Check ebay for a-pillar light mounts. It seems lots of people make them.

http://detoursusa.com/a-pillar-brackets.php he has zj ones but are not listed on his site you gotta call him.Here is more info on them https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f10/zj...ilable-137845/ or these http://www.farmerjohnsonoffroad.com/zj-light-brackets/ but they mount to the top edge of the fender.If you want light bar mounts on top the windshield i know a few but most are 40 or 50 inch.I know some site for armor if you need it,There is two sites making quarter panel armor and one that makes pieces that replace the ugly plastic on the doors.

I looked at the Detours USA brackets and didn't like them too well. I haven't seen the farmer Johnson off-road brackets yet. I may go with those cause I want the lights low as possible to the cowl.
I planning to mount a 50" light bar to my roof rack when I build it.
What is the site for the armor? I have a habit of rubbing the back quarter panels against stuff when trail riding lol

Well my parents got me an early Christmas presents. They ordered me a Trailmaster 3.5 inch lift and 32x11.50r15 Mastercraft Courser MXT tires!!
I was really wanting a a 4.5" lift but I will upgrade later to a 4" and longarms.
I also found a 242 transfer case from a junkyard not far from me. What else would I need for the swap?
