Sounds like after friday, the jeep will look pretty badass! Are you keeping the stock wheels on? If so did you consider plasti dipping or painting them black? Cuz i think that will match all the black trim you have.

Stock wheels are staying on but i plan on painting/plasti dipping them once it gets a bit warmer.

So i cashed in my plentiful change jar yesterday and decided to by some KC's with the money I had form it. Today I went to my buddy's house and we put 'em in. They're very bright!

I wanted the switch to be kind of out of sight but still easily acessible, I like the looks of the switch panel in the cubby hole to the left but only needing one switch for now, i decided not to go that direction. I also didn't want to have it just under the cubby. So after searching for a place to put the switch on the front control panel, we decided to put the it inside the small cubby on it. This way it would be out of sight and still rather easy to get to. This is what the switch looks like in the cubby...

We also cut a hole in the rubber mat that goes there and put it back in. I had to cut a little bit of plastic to make room for the connectors and wires on the back of the switch and it still barely fits now cause of the AC vent running to the rear row..
Image


The final product looks good in my opinion and i'm happy with where the switch is

I'm hoping my lift will come in tomorrow, well today didn't realize how late it got. Plus its my birthday so I think it will be fitting if it does come. Happy new years :cheers2:

The kc lights are a great add on. My wk didn't come with fog lights either and i could stand the cheap looking plastic covers. I paid 200.00 for the oem kit and aonther 45.00 for the jeep dealer to flash the computer.

That sucks they charged you to flash the comp. I pieced together my fog kit from RockAuto for $80 and my brother in law works for a Dodge Chrysler Jeep shop so he had them do it for me for free.

So it's been a while since I've posted in here but since my last post I've added a Rola roof rack, tire mount for that, I also plasti dipped my tail lights, took the bull bar off and mounted my lights inside the grill, and did the expanded sheet metal mod for the grill. Here's how she looks now...

And here's the tail lights...

Next up for me will be an exhaust (thinking about doing a Flowmaster 40) and also some new rear shocks. I think I wana go with the Monroe Load Levers, anyone have an opinion on that?

I love my MLL's. I have the longer ones, they really bring the back up quite a bit. They ride really well, a bit stiff but not bad at all. Plus, no rear sag when loaded or towing

Yeah I'm pretty set on going with them, I've never really heard bad things about them either. I'm guessing yours are the ones made for the F150? Also how do you like your Magnaflow with the 3.7?

Jeep looks awesome!

I have a white wk and bought the 2" daystar lift for it. Any advice on the setup? I am not putting on wheel spacers and makes me wonder how it will look or if i should even bother lifting it now...

Does it make it worse of a vehicle for traveling and road trips?
