New Bartact covers for the front arrived today. Still need one for the rear and the center console.

I keep putting this off, and I know I’m going to regret it the longer I wait.. Those are the ones I want too... are they comfortable?

I have a full set in the Tank Jeep. I love them. Only downside is it takes a while to feel the factory seat heaters.

On the Wet Okoles? They came with the Jeep. The fronts have a skull with a beret logo on them or something like that. I took them off the day I brought the Jeep home. I’ll pull them out and take some pics if you are interested. The back has been on the whole time. No rips or in any of them and they are in good condition.

Starting to build my wire runs for back up lights and rocks lights...figured why not do it inside by the fire. ;)

Lights are in, as is the quadratec trailer hitch. I can’t believe how expensive the OEM hitch is compared to aftermarket.

That looks great. What brand of lights? And what tool did you use to cut the bumper?

They are cheap nilights off of Amazon. My son’s lighting budget does not allow the high end stuff. As a benefit though, they pretty much throw light everywhere since the refractors aren’t high end, which is perfect for a back up light.

First hole I did with a drill and a sawzall. That sucked balls and took me forever. I went and bought a metal cuff off disc for my grinder for the second hole and it took me about five minutes.

Looking good man, I saw you were making wire runs, but did you tie those into your back up lights or to a separate switch?

Back up lights will automatically come on in reverse but can also be separately turned on with a switch. I am also installing rock lights that will be tied into a switch and also the footwell lighting (so the rock lights temporarily come on when you open the doors and then fade) like I have on the Tank JKUR.

Having done all this several times now, I've decided that it is most efficient (at least for me) to mount all of the lights and then do all of the wiring at once.
 
That came out really nice. There sure is a big price difference between the Factory hitch and the others.

Yea definitely easier and cleaner to do all at once. I like the idea of the footwell lighting too, recall seeing that on tank.

That's a great idea. So I assume you tapped the power wire into the reverse light and ran to a toggle switch as well?
