    Rear backup Lighting

    One of the first questions I posted on this forum was about these ZRoadZ rear lights and I received some good feedback. One suggestion was to get an S-Pod before connecting the lights, which I did, and I must say that installing these lights was sooo much easier with the S-Pod! Also these lights...

    New Lights

    I bought and installed an sPod per the advice of this forum. This weekend I installed my first set of auxiliary lights, these are KC Hilites Slimlite LEDs. Quick question though, the sPod has a 2 amp fuse, should I replace it with the 20 amp fuse that came with the wiring harness for the...

    Wiring Question

    I've thought about that too, I wonder what would happen if I accidentally turned on both at the same time? So if I buy a on-off-on switch how would I wire that up? I haven't even ordered the lights yet and from the looks of things they are on a 30 day backorder; so I have some time for research.

    Wiring Question

    Thank you! I'll certainly reach out if/when I have questions. It might be a while though, these things are expensive and I'm going to start off with the lights for the bumper first, which I think I can manage on my own.

    Wiring Question

    Hello, I'm looking to add three sets of lights to my 2018 JKU. On the bumper I think I'm going to go with KC Hilites 6" Slimlite LED and on the A-Pillar I'm looking at KC Hilites Flex ERA 3's instead of cube lights, and some lights yet to be determined in the rear of the jeep. I've also pretty...

    Maximus-3 Classic Hoop

    I think it is the same distance, it's just not at a true 90 degree angle, it's just slightly "twisted" enough that it won't allow the D-Ring pin to align properly when pushed through. I haven't taken any measurements though.

    Maximus-3 Classic Hoop

    I installed a Maximus-3 Classic Hoop today and have mixed emotions about it. The hoop itself is solid and looks great but it almost completely blocks the tow hooks. The reviews I read said this was NOT the case and they could fit a strap between the hoop and the tow hook but I'm finding that not...

    My Jeep

    True story. I found a 2017 Gobi Recon with 35,000 miles on it but was in a hurry so didn't test drive or anything. I asked the salesman if he thought it would be there the next weekend and he said "yes". Well, it sold the next day. I was very bummed, I have always wanted a Recon so I kept...

    My Jeep

    The Firecracker Red wasn't my first choice but I have to admit that it does look nice. It's my first red vehicle.

    My Jeep

    Here are pics of my jeep. This is my third Rubicon but my first four door. I'm loving it so far!! I did not realize how big a difference it is going from 2 to 4 doors. I'm finally getting up enough courage to add some mods, mostly aux lighting.
