And as far as the square headlights go, I've got some ABS sitting around, so I'm going to epoxy some in the round holes, Dremel a rectangular hole in the resulting blank spot, then trim the stock lenses to fit. Got no idea what I'm going to do for the marker lights, though.

Id mount 1 10" in the rear of mine, but Ive had my WHOLE sound system ripped out twice. Any advice on how to secure them?

Gota love teh TJ flares on a YJ lol... Ive got Bestop TJ Flares on mine to keep it street legal.. Good old MD laws :neutral:

My subs are bolted down with .. ah.. you know those screen door tighteners? Basically a metal rod, through screw-in eyes in the box, and screwed into the fenders under the plastic seatbelt covers. 6x9s are held in with u-bolts from a local hardware store, they just let me take different sizes out til I found some that fit. I can get a pic if you need one, let me know.

Nothing bounces around, and it would be lots of work to steal anything.

Those bestop flares look HUGE! Nice jeep, looks clean and not rusted like mine.

Edit: found one

Ok, this could take a while. LEDs came from superbrightleds.com, here is what i bought there:

Headlights:
Quantity: 2
Product: RL5-B5515 Blue LED $ 1.04 (each)

Rock Lights (only used 4)
Quantity: 6
Product: RL5-W8045 White LED $ 1.59 (each)

Rock light holders (again, 4)
Quantity: 6
Product: LED Mounting Bezel $ 0.25 (each)

I know if you look around there are cheaper places to get them, like LSDiodes But check the mcd ratings and viewing
angles, you often get what you pay for.

Radio shack stuff... from another post here.
PARTS LIST: www.radioshack.com

- Enclosed battery holder 270-409 $1.89
- LED holder 276-080 (it is a 2 pack) $2.78
- Wire clips 278-1668 $2.29
- Shrink wrap (this looks cool, i had some) 278-1611 $2.99
- Wire 278-1222 (i think this is what I got) $5.99
- Red LED with Holder (you need 2) 276-270 $1.99

YOU ALSO NEED RESISTORS! or you will burn up your LEDs and have to do it over. Radioshack has a limited selection,
LSDiodes has more for cheaper. Get them there. Find out what you need with http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz which also
gives you a wiring diagram if you select it.

I think that covers everything you need.... other than a drill and soldering iron. Just make sure you put it all together
in the right direction
This was the first thing I've ever done like this, and it wasnt too hard at all.


Thanks for the props on the seats, I'll let her know
