That'll be a project for another weekend, just wanted to get them on. Prob make a harness for the lights and make sure its all tucked away correctly. So not yet.
That's great. I have ordered them for my Mojito! Rubi (11 Dec) but have not rcvd them yet. Was also going to wire regular lights but now wondering about maybe having green LEDs instead of the regular ones. Did you go with the body mounted or frame mounted? I got the frame mounted and was wondering how easy they were to install. Looks great on the Mojito!.

Finally lifted, got new tires and wheels...
Basic Specs:
Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35in
Black Rhino Overland 17in
Rough Country Suspension Lift 2.5in

Everything fit like a glove. No rubbing and ride is smooth... It does feel like im carrying alot of weight when driving hahaha..
I'm literally getting the same wheel and tire combination! They look good.

Beam tech led bulbs, rugged ridge guards, grill and headlight inserts, us visors rain guards, blacked out hood, windshield tint strip, removed the covers for the fogs to do led fog lights, unfortunately they sent the wrong bulb. But the covers are staying off or getting cut...it was a productive weekend, still need to tint front windows and do fender light swap to the smoked ones

Installed a set of Carolina Metal Masters JL mirrors over the weekend. Posted the Install video on my YouTube Channel too. Install is simple and takes about 15 minutes to complete. Man these just look clean. I ordered the 20mm ball and the ball delete since I already have a 67D JL Rail.

I installed a eBay dead pedal today, so much swear and yell when put it on, it is just hard. Tiny space only fit a single hand to align everything and bolt it, I am not going to do it again even if you pay me to....but I like the end result, provide a little bit of ergonomics!

I have no idea how you pulled this off. I have the same one and I can not hold the bolt from spinning AND also tighten it. I need an extra hand! Bravo for you to be able to figure it out!

I think in the newer version, they actually weld the bolt on to the mounting plate, therefore it won't spin when you put nut on.

Fixed the water fall into the cabin during rain. At least I think I solved it, still a work in progress. So far, so good!
I took some "moldable" plastic...like sugru. Made a flush block at the end of the channel with it. Hasn't rained of course, since I did it. But it should work !

Forced perspective optical illusion. In the last setting its still a good 3 inches off the floor. Can't really tell from that angle.
Water is now being directed down the A-Pillar and down between the fender and door, no longer streaming into to cabin. Water is not collecting on the floor, it is pooling out on the door sill and out the bottom.

So I've heard. I'm actually going to bolt mine to my own home fabricated backing plate. It is literally impossible to install without something like that.

I tried it with caulk, but seems to only work when level and not pointing down hill.

Yeah, I can image the hell is to install that "float" bolt. You may need a micro-droid to hold a micro-wrench in the backing plate, so you can tighten the nut....

Joke aside, I found the pedal actually quite comfortable, so good luck!

Hopefully loosely enforced like tinted windows, front license plate, etc. Most cops have better things to do...
I don't think you understand how the world works. Police, mainly deputies and troopers, look specifically for violations like that to pull you over to look for bigger violations such as DUI, drugs, guns. And depending on the jurisdiction they have to write a ticket for the reason of the stop so they don't get accused of an invalid stop. And I know everyone on this forum claims they don't do any of the more serious violations even though facts show if you are willing to violate small vehicle laws you are more likely to violate the bigger laws.
And I'm using the collective 'you'.

I’m going to try this just to make it stop raining.
