I’ll never understand how some people spend their money… but whatever makes him happy I guess.

Oh wait… that is, until he
1. Blinds traffic opposite him and in front of him
2. Sends a rock flying into my windshield
3. Loses control on the highway due to his ridiculous CoG and causes a multi-vehicle accident with fatalities
4. Takes up 4 parking spaces

Clearly he’s not relegating his street-illegal rig to “off-road” use so yeah, screw that guy.

That IFS bracket purple junk is ridiculous. If you try to take that thing off road it would look like a pinball machine tipped on its side. Lol. Parts everywhere. And took up two parking spaces. POS

The silly thing is that monster truck’s clearance is still restricted by those low-hanging pumpkins...wherever they are...

Such waste.

I have an XR and just got flashed with high beams 3 times on my way home.
I really don't think it was an adjustment issue. I checked it against my garage door and it seemed fine. I had even lowered my left beam for oncoming traffic. Seeing other Jeeps with the factory LEDs they're just really intense lights. You may not be getting the beam, but if you look at the bulb, they're dazzling.
It's not just the LED, I was getting flashed all the time with halogens on my stock Rubicon.
I did the adjustment in the service manual, with no real change.
Then I measured the beam on my wife's Cadillac...and matched the Jeep to that. No more flashing.

I constantly get flashed in my Rubi. I passed another rubi one night and noticed just how bright those LEDs are.. I’m pretty sure the brightness is from the fogs though because when I flash people back with my high beams they seem happy.

Flash back and a stand down doesn't mean they're happy lol
It's your headlights.

I actually kinda like that paint, looks like a space-based scheme, like a galaxy/milky way.

I'd also think if, like me, you valued your vehicle that you'd park further out in the lot. Wanna take up more than 1 space? Fine, go out in BFE and do it, not near the front where normal cars congregate. I park out in BFE, but that's because I don't want some welfare case dinging my Jeep with their clunker.

I bet he has to use a step ladder ala Hammond in his bagass truck lol.

It's not just XRs. I had a stock height HA Gladiator and people were constantly flashing high beams at me. Those factory Jeep LEDs are no joke.
I have never thought my LEDs were that bright. Having had a 21 Sierra and a 22 Silverado, these lights seem about half as bright. When I had those trucks, I tinted my front windshield and had about as much light as I do now. That is if you do not count the fog lights themselves.

I win twice. I spotted the Willys and the Willy extension. By the way, the extension really needs an angry grill ?
