What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[nerubi]

How hard was it to work with the carriage bolt removal/light install and running the wires? I’m putting pod lights on mine this weekend (I hope). Where did you run the wires?

Right now they are held on with magnets. When it warms up I will mount them with double sided tape. Have them same on my JK for six years, one with magnet and one with tape.
i connected both sets of wires together and the connected ground to a bolt on underside of bumper. Wires tucked up behind muffler heat shield (I don 't have a muffler). Ran the power wire from aux 4 wire in engine compartment down along inner fender, thru the frame rail to the back bumper and connected it to the positive wire from the lights. I used long wire tires to fish the wire thru the frame rail.

I got an hour of free time earlier and got the lights mounted. Getting the carriage bolts out was a pain in the ass. Thankfully I had an elbow extension for my cordless impact wrench. Your mounting method is pretty cool but I feel better with a bolt in the bumper, haha.

If it isn’t too much to ask, can you post a pic of the ground? There’s a lot of bolts. I’d love to see what you picked.

I’m thinking of running the positive up the frame rail as well. The only thing I can’t see right now is where it goes from the frame rail up to the battery compartment. I’d like to run it up the right (fender) side of the battery right to the AUX wires rather than the left (engine side). Just need a clearer view. It just started raining so wiring is going to have to wait a bit

I chose the small one near the tow hook. I need to get some heat reflective tape to cover the gorilla tape but that will need to wait until next week because we have ice now and a blizzard starting in a couple of hours.
I put a work light underneath the engine compartment where the battery is and looked down to see a slender opening where the wire could go. I ran a long zip tie up from underneath next to the inner fender where I could see light from above.
