Not sure why he did specifically, but I'm thinking about this myself now do to the stupid overflow tube getting chewed on by the fan TWICE now.
Yeah dig. I love some good nerdy science stuff. Even though they're in grill, you think if I give them a bit of a more downward angle, rather than a bright lights long distance angle, they'd slip under the fog a bit better?


I'm looking to relocate my overflow to make some room for a dual battery setup.

Why didn't you just tap and die the factory hoses?

For now, just a couple sets of lights. There's room for expansion. I just used a gutted PDC to keep a factory look.

I don't see the difference, I drilled and tapped the factory hose connection. I just didn't want to cut threads on the aluminum tubing that came out of the connection.

Plus I wanted to run the copper tubing to cool down the air so water can condense and get trapped in the coalescing filter

Nice. I did a set of lines for a kid in Sacramento. At no cost...He ended up stiffing me on a on switch because his was still being mailed from china. I drove three hours out of my way to retaliate for a ten dollar switch. So worth it.

I don't know how some people run rough country lifts and use their products.

A friend ordered a 3 inch lift for his Toyota, and he got 6 inch lift leaf springs. Obviously not what he was going for. Even the leaf springs had chips in the paint.

Never heard about that happening with RC..

Not impressed. Glad I'm going Iron Rock on my ZJ (or MJ possibly)

I will not ever even consider giving that company any of my money. Not even a dollar bill with **** all over it. Waste of time

Hey guys I was finally able to get my account to verify. For some reason the email refused to send to my email. I am a regular over on jeepforum but had some questions that I was informed that some guys over here are 4.0 supercharger pros. If you guys could direct me in their general direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Here are some obligatory jeep pictures for you guys as well.

Mmmmmnah, then, you'd just end up with a flood/spot pattern with the central focus pointed towards the ground. The lights you have there will serve the purpose you previously stated of better visibility of the vehicle.

If you want GREAT LED fogs, check out these by PIAA http://www.piaa.com/store/p/800-PIAA...Compliant.aspx

Or go the traditional halogen route http://www.piaa.com/store/c/19-Autom...spx?Attribs=33

Or hey, a set of Deltas would work great! http://www.quadratec.com/products/97016_61.htm

Autozone and Pep Boys USED to sell a set made by "RALLY"... they were really cheap, but they actually worked pretty good. The yellow "plating" on the reflector would peel flake and peal off over time, but they were the perfect yellow, and if you took out the black "deflector" in the middle of them, they had decent range.

But yeah, if you want good fogs, your best bet is to get a couple of the lights I linked above and cut slots in your bumper for them - or mount them below it if you're not concerned with them getting messed up when you're wheelin'. I actually cracked the lens on one of mine when I was plowing through snowbanks when I lived in MD one year.

That's cool man, I might have to add that to my list.

I tried to post on this thread my introduction and some pictures of my jeep. I am a regular over at jeepforum and just recently was able to verify my account on here.

Hmm...unsure of what the issue is...you can obviously post in this thread, as you did, maybe the attaching of pics is screwing things up? News to me...do you have a screenshot or exact description of your issue?

BTW, I have been at work most of the day, just got home, and going out to work on the jeep now. Post up and we'll do our best to get it resolved. Thanks.
