This Sunday I'm finally going wheeling again. Get to test out the new tires and lockers. Can't wait.

I bent two brackets from lowe's to the angles that i wanted. I screwed them to the windshield first then put the light rack on them. There's nothing behind that small metal space at the top of the windshield.

I cringed when I was screwing it into my windshield

Took home the old tires today. I told the guy working I was in a Jeep Wrangler and he doubted I could fit 5 tires on/in it...

I need some opinions.
Should I leave my Hi-Lift on my tire carrier like so..


Or move it onto a hood mount? I was thinking moving it to the front would help level my Jeep a little.

Thanks bro. Those are a heck of a deal. I just recently took the harbor freight KC knock offs and put some advanced auto parts baja h4 bulbs in them. They shine better than I could ask for. Im also in high school trying to build a jeep. Always got to find the deals! I think you should leave the hi lift in the rear. That's just my .02$

Nice mods and it looks like you have a nice attitude towards just trying things!!!! Keep that up!

Just a suggestion, where you have the wire running through the end cap of your light bar, you should protect it from the bare metal. Put a rubber grommet in it. Otherwise, the metal will wear through the insulation and you'll be redoing the wiring.

I'm definitely going to try those bulbs, and thanks for the opinion.

No problem. The best part about them is they are only 5 bucks a piece. I'm Actually thinking about using your idea about the fence post on my own jeep. If that's alright with you.
