Light bar is here. Man these are sweet. I can easily say worth it. Getting one for the jk8 for sure. They fit perfect with Vp mounts on this body. No spacers.




Front bumper Monday hopefully.

Sure, as long as it's not a direct copy

The light bar mounts are the poison spyder JK mounts from Vanquish and the light bar I got off Matthew Rafeld on facebook.

Well since you get these the lense is barley on there so you can waterproof it if you'd like I decided to do so.

What I used was some epoxy and put it over the leds and put the lense over that. There was epoxy coming out of the edges around the lense so I sanded it down and painted it. The top and bottom of the housings are grey due to the molding so I needed to paint it anyways.





And painted.



Here is a pic of the top and bottom. Sanding it will make it all grey which is what I did before painting it.

Okay some more updates today. I got my new shocks in. GMade XD 93mm. Piggyback front and aeration rear. Need to get the green soft Springs to lower it down again.

Nothing better than building shocks. I actually don't mind it but I know alot of people hate it.






Oh I also got my front bumper back. It's the right height but not as close as I want to the body so I might be sending it back. I have another idea on how to get it closer. Ditch the winch plate and mount winch directly to the bumper allowing you to move the mounts in closer. We will see.

Okay got it up and running tonight. Springs are too stiff so talked to Corey at RPP and he found a place to get some soft ones from so waiting for him to get them. I also put the battery on the firewall instead of the sliders. Here is some crappy pics from the first run. It was night out so not much to see.







Here is a pic of the battery placement. Just used heavy duty velcro and it held it on good. Might put straps still. Idk yet.
