now onto the grill lights, i didnt get any pics of the difference between the tj steering box and the durango box, but sitting next to my buddies the durango box is a monster compared to the tj. drives a lot better now with the 33's.

got the headlights pulled out to start prepping for the markers.

got the holes drilled. i ended using a 3in hole saw, i really need a 3 1/8, but the 3in worked with a lot of hand grinding to allow the the lights to fit.

i went 3in from the grill slit to center for my side to side and i believe i went 3 1/2 from the bottom to center.

no the lights arent off it only looks that way due to the gear side of the winch.also notice the size of the steering box.

tube fenders and jk turns done. the factory tj plugs perfect into the jk housing so no need to re wire plugs.

got to messing around with tape and made some angry eyes to see how she would look. i think thats next on my list along with herculining the inside.
 
just a few pics from a creek down the road. the trail drops off pretty good at the edge enough to drop the headlights under.

coming back through with bear leading the way

and coming out. you can see the incline of the jeep an determine the size of the drop into the creek.
 
also ended up installing hood pins to keep the hood buttoned up, the factory latchs rounded out. i do like the pins over the latches tho so no problem.

what would cause the turns to work but no running lights on the front. the tail lights work fine its just the front. i get power to the connector but but nothing goes to the plugs on both sides.could i just need new plug ends for the lights, i put brand new bulbs in.
