So it seems American Adventure Labs updated their packout mounts without updating the pictures on their site. With the new version, you don't have to cut off the tabs anymore. The new ones are a little bit taller, but being able to use unmodified packouts is worth the slight increase in height.

Good to know. I'm a Milwaukee fan boy, and I would have raked American Adventure Labs over the coals for selling a pricey bauble that required butchering my own gear in order to make things work.

Does it reflect inside?
Update:

No it does not reflect inside. But, the seals that came on it do not properly seal ot to the windshield and light “leaks” past and down onto the dash. Very noticeable on a dark road. Fixable with a strip of electrical tape which then looks terrible.

I have ordered a better seal. I will remove the light bar and replace the seal and I think I will be golden.

However, total BS that the end user has to do this for an expensive item.

It is SUPER bright and lights up a solid 160/180 degrees in front of the jeep. Very wide pattern. Pillar lights will be spots for distance.

Anyone know if they have a forum discount code available?
If one isn't available, occasionally peruse the Member Marketplace. I found a set of new-in-wrap seat jackers being sold at ~50% of new retail.

A used set might even cost less, and would look new with a quick pass of gloss black spray enamel.

Installed a new tire carrier yesterday.

I've been waiting for a sale on the Teraflex HD tire carrier for months, but never found any significant discounts. It's almost always been around $315 plus tax until recently. Went up to $365. Until last week. Found a "Used - very good" on Amazon for $245.40. $60 discount for applying for an Amazon card and my total was $204.42. All that was "wrong" with it was a missing 6mm nut for the third brake light bracket.
