We would have won it if we didnt get a massive time penalty for coming into the start finish sideways and taking out all the pegs

After a lot of hard work, I put in some new fog lights. I'm probably one of the first guys to do something like this on an XJ.


Basically what I did was recess them in the lower bumper support. I had to fab up my own brackets, do some drilling, modify a set of projector fog lights, and a whole lot more.




I started by taking a hole saw to the lower bumper support.






I then bedliner'd it, because that's what Jeep owners do!






Today, I also had some free time at work. I was able to make a mounting bracket for the fog lights, ballasts, and wiring. It came out really good





Here's the final product with recessed projector fog lights, and 3000k 35 watt HIDs.

Added some rubber pieces on sliders/step (for the wife). they get slick some times so maybe this will help out.
