Well I plan to orange the lettering too hope it's doesn't turn into a pumpkin lol

At least your jeep is YOURS. Nothing wrong with a little customization as long as the owner likes it.
Lettering might pull it together more though

Washed it, put my lightbar back on, and started wiring my lights. Hell of a job. Makes me wonder why I ever took it off to begin with.

Prepping my roof rack, is 8 lights to much? Will it kill my battery?

You should be ok, but I would bump up to a Deep Cycle battery like a Diehard Platinum, especially if you want to add a winch, additional lights or fridge in the future.

What about 8 lights, amp, and a winch? I was thinking about getting a better battery soon. Any idea how much a diehard platinum costs?

Na I love lights!! And I run an optima marine battery. No BS it is stamped Nov. of 1999, and still going strong!!! Even if it was missed stamped before I got it used 3 years ago, according to the sticker it is at least no newer then 9 years old and still going!! I think optima should have the bunny!!! Oh and I have left my lights on twice all day draining it. Jumped it off and picked right up and still hasn't ever once been sluggish!!! I put the same battery in an exes truck that was made in '06 and it's still going also!! I will always run an Optima from now on!!

I will keep that In mind, I'm running ****ty lights but they are lights lol. Waitin on money so I can invest in KC's or something. But I have 4 on a bar, and 4 platinum burners that came on my rack. I think I will look for a better battery soon

Illegal, or out of your league? I've taken my XJ plenty of places I shouldn't have made it, but I always went with friends, knew when to use a bypass/get winched, asked for a spotter.

Are you willing to accept body damage? Can you afford to replace parts? Do you have any skid plates? Do you have proper recover points both front and rear?

Have fun, take pictures, go slow, learn your limits.

well if your talking to me, it's more illegal, not really out of my league, haven't been in a while so I'm not sure If it's changed much. Think I will wait until tomorrow though. It's getting dark, lol

What is the proper way to put D rings on a bumper. I'm not building a winch bumper but I want to have some D rings up there for recovery and all. Just trying to draw up plans but I'm a bit in educated
