What marker lights are those, and are they hooked up to your turn signals? I've been wanting to do something like that with mine. Seems that those small LED blinkers on my flat fenders just aren't bright enough & nobody seems to notice them when I'm making turns.
They look like KC rock lights

These are KC Cyclones defused and tribute to JK location. They are bright as fuck defused and no codes

Did some Rotopax troubleshooting to find out why my paxrax was making so much noise. I removed it a few months ago due to the banging noise that was happening when I drove. It's just been sitting in my garage so trying to make it work.



















































I swapped the orientation of the gas pax mount which I think has fixed the problem. I think with 2 cans you can't mount them horizontally as it needs the support bar to keep from shaking around.

Also tried messing around with putting a shovel mount on instead of the water. Kind of nervous about having a shovel that could maybe fly off so don't think I'll keep it like that.

I'm also thinking of re-locating the water mount inside but can't figure out how to remove this panel to be able to mount the pax mount. Anyone know what's behind there and if it's possible to mount the plate where I have it taped?

It's surprising that they can be significantly brighter and still be street legal. That's pretty cool.
I believe it’s the pattern that allows them to be street legal. Sharp horizontal cutoff so doesn’t blind people.
Also why removing the shutter or whatever at the top of the Oem fogs doesn’t make any sense. That would not make them brighter just blind people.

I'm fairly sure that there are also limits on brightness. That's why I was surprised that they were significantly brighter while still being street legal. You'd think that manufactures would have brighter fogs.

In your last pic, there's nothing behind it except the seat belt mechanism towards the top. It's just plastic to cover up the bare tub. Just pick a spot and start pulling away, it's held on with clips. I'd be wary of mounting a water can to just the plastic piece, especially if it's a full water can. Not exactly a solid place to mount something with weight to it, unless you can hard mount it to the tub underneath the trim piece.

hmm I wonder if I can mount it to the rollbar somehow

Got my parts in (though miss calculated the size…1 too small) to modify the Mopar Windshield Wiper System to also still use the stock hood windshield nozzles:

1/8” “Y” connectors and tube:

Connected single side to pump side and “Y”’d to the stock nozzle line and the other to the Mopar line:

And I don’t care for asthetic look…pulled Mopar lines farther out at the wiper arms to minimize rubbing and fraying:

I installed an OBD-II port lock. A recent thread on the vulnerability of modern vehicles to car thieves planted a little seed on the subject.

Like most security doodads, the lock provides little more than visual deterrence, and/or the ability to slow down the offender's efforts a bit.

I thought our odb2 ports were encrypted? Isn’t that why the tazer has to be installed before that encryption device? If thats the case how can be hacked? Or is this lock for people that have the tazer installed?

Installed sliders and door sill guards. First purchase of anything Smittybilt. Always went Poison Spider, Gen-Rite and Ace engineering. I must say these sliders impressed me greatly. Both in fit and build quality. They are bolt on to frame and can jack side of Jeep both wheels off ground with no flex movement of slider.
