I decided to go with the poison spyder mounts, $31 shipped off of ebay. I mounted them up yesterday. The spots throw about as far as my high beams and add good but of quality light to the mix. Not a bad upgrade as the lights and mounts together were $104 shipped and there is far less hood glare than I expected. I'll add night shots when I have the chance.

Added a 20w LED cube To the stock tire carrier. As it is mounted behind the spare it doesn't add as much peripheral light as I wanted but it's a good inexpensive. I tried to fabricate a mount for the spare but it was not stable enough for my liking.

Here are few pictures of the mount that I fabricated but decided not to use. The weight of the lights was sufficient to cause a good bit of vibration/shaking and I it was harder to disconnect for spare access than I anticipated.

The fab work looks good on the bracket. If it's vibrating you may want to add some gussets to calm it down. But I agree, anytime you have to use wrenches in a tight spot can be annoying. But hopefully you only need the spare when rotating.

So I haven't checked this thread in a long while. Thanks for the compliment and advice. I think some gussets would have helped a little but I think the lights are just too heavy for the mount design. I ended up drilling a second hole and moving the single light back .75 inches and it made a world of difference, the flood now reaches the peripheral better than the stock reverse lights.

Picked up a generic cargo net from Walmart for $10. Keeps the groceries and gear from blowing out on the interstate and holds the carpet in place.

Since your running stock steelies ever think about plastidipping them? Just did it on my 2 dr 13 sport and they make a huge difference in the look for little money. Did a tri color with standard rim color, black and red since the Jeep is cherry red.

Wow man, you really put some thought into that color scheme, looks great! I have considered plastidip but I hope to different wheels when these tires wear out so I haven't. I also and concerned I would have to redo the plastidip every time I get a little trail rash.

Went to the outer banks in NC last week. Had a blast driving on the beach as camping. One day my wife and I went on a dolphin sighting tour and when we got back someone had stolen the Lights off my bumper. Fortunately, they were kind enough to leave me the mounting brackets. I think the Dolphins might have been in on it.

Wow, Where did this happen? Me and my buddy are going down to obx next week.
