Since I removed the stock fog lights and ran the Rigids to the sPod, I wired some red LED running lights to the factory fog light wires.

Thanks for your service! and that is one sick looking JKU.

Nicely done! Like other have said, I thank you for your service as well!

Where did you get your aev hood from? Looks like you had it shipped powder coated or had it done locally? Curious because I am in the market. Thanks man!

I got it from Northridge4x4. It came e-coated, had to be painted.

Also, the Northridge4x4 interior LEDs are legit. All they are is CREE 6K LEDs, I think 538 bulb for the 07-09 JKUs. You can find them on ebay a little cheaper, but I do a lot of business with NR4x4 and ordered thru them since I already was purchasing all the other parts. They really light up the interior at night...it's really nice.

I do have a very minor flicker, but completely unnoticable while driving and can only see it if parked facing a wall. Don't see correcting this barely noticeable flaw from the CANBUS as being worth the ~$200 for the SMS harness...I'll wait until a cheaper plug/play resistor comes out. MUCH BETTER LIGHT OUTPUT THAN STOCK!

Trasharoo came in also, no pics, but good piece of kit. Just waiting on my MT Classic Locks and my Bestop Spare Tire Organizer to come in and this post deployment build is complete! I was hoping to be at Jeep Beach 2013, but work has me tapped for a TDY, so I guess I'll have to wait for the 2014 meet :mad:
