Haha, nah! They loaded fine for me. I like to be able to see them rather than squint and guess! Welcome to the forum sounds like you've got some projects already in motion. Consider doing a build thread if you plan on doing anything semi interesting to this thing!

Plugged it in to the OBD II reader. It started chugging when I came off cruise and the CEL came on. I was still about 25 miles from home so I babied it home and it smoothed out, but the Cel stayed on. I got a PO121 code, but it is running fine right now Looks like a new TPS once the stores open again. Crappy thing is I already parked my other car for the winter and I have 2 more days of work to get through before I can get to the parts store.

I finally installed JCRoffroad's rear tire carrier to go with the rear bumper I got a while back. Took a while to finally post these pics.


JCRoffroad rear bumper and tire carrier.


Rotopax mount locks mandatory in the northeast!



JCROffroad needs to make the license plate bracket a little longer. Hated bending the ends of my plate.

I didn't like the way the license plate bracket forced me to bend the corners of my plates. I grew tired of it so I drilled a hole on the bumper and relocated it. Too lazy to install the lights on it. I haven't been pulled over by police yet. Next project will be somehow finding a way to install a rear camera either on the tire or somewhere on the bumper. Any suggestions are welcomed.



This was the best spot to drill a hole for the license plate mount.



Fuel center cap is now back on and it looks great.



Big *** tire covers my view completely. Back up camera would be nice but doing fine without it for now.

Finally got everything and installed the new H4 housings, harness, etc. I've seen people post their results - but doing it yourself is another thing. The light output now is crazy, definitely recommend it to anyone on the fence about it!

For what it's worth, I have a license plate mount like that from Gen Right on my Wrangler, and it's the perfect length for me
