Thanks. They really make a heck of a difference, when you are in the middle of nowhere.

Awesome light output. Exactly the setup I'd like to run.

Love your build bud! The lights are awesome. I'm still running stock candles so I'll be looking at a set of these or TLs soon

Thanks. I like Trucklites. To me, the high beam is a little better.

The great dilemma. Low beams of the JW, high beam of the Truck Lites.

Yeah. The Trucklites have a good low beam, but the X artifact bothers some people. It didn't bother me. Idk, but you may need heated headlights, where you live, and that leaves Trucklites.

Ah, gotcha. I had heard about the x artifact but never really paid much attention.

I replaced the standard fixed D-rings on this Rugged Ridge XHD bumper, with their D-ring brackets for shackles. No point to it, other than I think they look better. I used Rugged Ridge red powder coated shackles.
With all the D-ring talk going on, I'll say these are very well made, and only $58.99 at Quadratec.

Everything looked great before, but I definitely like the new look better:thumb:

Thanks! It's for looks. The other D-rings are probably stronger, but the shackles are rated 9500 pounds, so that should be sufficient.

Any particular reason you didn't go motobilt? :cheesy:

Mostly because I'd never heard of them, until that train wreck of a thread, but now...
1. Unethical
2. Too damned expensive

I'm making plans to re-gear. I won't go to 37" tires, on the current axles, so I plan to gear to 4.88. That should put me around 300 rpm above the stock ratio. Since it mostly pounds pavement, and is an automatic, I think that may be a good ratio. I miss the extra grunt it had with 4.10 and stock tires. It shifted a lot less in hills.
I checked with the only two shops I can find, near me. One said $1800-2000! The other said $1250-1300. The guy at the less expensive shop, had way more Jeep knowledge, than the expensive shop.

That's not too terrible! Especially if he seems to be more knowledgeable.

Seems as though prices are generally going up a bit for regear. Trail Jeeps used to do it for $1000 and its up to $1500 I think. ORE may be one of the last to still do for $1000 if they still do.
notnalc68
That dude from Mississippi
Yeah. He does a lot of Jeeps, so he won't have to order the parts. He asked what size tires I was running, and recommended 4.88 (which I had already decided on). He said he's never had anyone with auto trans & 4.88 say they wish they'd have run 4.56, but he said the opposite has happened. He told me to get a Procal, which I already have. All in all, it took about a minute of him talking, to tell he knew Jeeps.
