Got the front cleaned up, repainted and the lights installed (but not wired because my switches never showed up).
The rear bumper is another story... The tire carrier bushing had never been greased during installation so it was effectively seized. I had to let it soak in WD40 for 2 whole days just to be able to force it into movement. I finally got it off the bumper Sunday evening and then spent the next two hours peeling off poorly applied rhino lining (seriously, they didn't even clean the bumper before spraying it, just sprayed over clumps of dirt and everything).

that's a mean looking jeep. What's the light rig? looks like a morimoto - I've heard they're damn expensive but incredible quality .
Did you think of mounting under the bar inside the bull bar? I think it'd give it a clean look and free up some of that grille space (it's a nice looking grille why hide it?-

Its a knock off. It's bright as all get out and only cost me a 1/4 the price.
I mounted it up top because the winch will be installed below. It has a recessed mounting location but it would still be rather cramped with both the light and winch under the bull bar.

It's looking bad ass as always.
Keep the updates coming, I for one, am keeping an eye on the build!

good call. And hey nothing wrong with some effective shopping. I wouldn't know what a morimoto is had I not just bought some projectors for a retrofit. Will need you to get some lit up pics

It looks really good! I'm liking the white/grey (is it actually black?) front end look. Actually looks pretty menacing.
The only thing that gets me is the light bar on your bumper is just a tiny tiny tiny bit off center.
You're welcome, OCD sufferers.

Once my switches arrive and I get it all installed and wired up I will for sure.
