I know its been a while since you put them in, but what bulbs did you run in your H4 conversion? they look nice and white and good output.

It might be nice to get a trailer like that. Firewood takes up a lot of space in the back when you go camping.

I'M not sure what bulbs they used. I got the rampage housings, and the 55/65 watt bulbs came with the housing. I had used Sylvania silverstars in my XJ, and they worked great.

well had a minor scare last night. the jeep has sat for 4 days while i was camping. went to start it up.......no fire. crank for ever. My first thought....UGH fuel pump doesnt have enough pressure. so i started grabbing tools to yank it out and go get a new one, and proceeded to test the MAP, and the TPS, then i noticed it.....the clip that hold the plug ends together on the CPS was broken, and the plug was loose. Plugged it backin, and she fired up.
Then started tearing the front end down to install the 3 link. Just waiting on the bolts to arrive.

Looking good,
Hope to see what/how you plan to cut off those lower control arm brackets...
Also, what bumpstops are you planning to go with?

I plan to go right down to the frame rail. If for some reason this link kit fails on me, im just going to take it the 4 hours downto Cheyenne and Have TNT Customs put their 3 link kit on it, which does not require the LCA Brackets. David says that you dot have to trim the brackets with the cavfab kit, but since i am staying so low, i will most likelly have to. I plan on runningthe Daystar extended bumps, with hockey pucks on the axle pads. as it sits now, i need about 5" of bump. but that will change when the 3 link arms go on.

I was looking at it the other day and I may be on the same boat...although the arms are high clearance I'm looking at 4.5" maybe 5.5" because of the look that I want...
I just bought hockey pucks and was looking into the Day star bumpstops but didn't know if they fit in the cup hole in the later models
