Added a 52" LED Light bar this week. Finished up the wiring yesterday and its very impressive the output from it is twice as good as i expected. The light bar is a knock off brand from a company on ebay called newcomdigi they just went on sale a few days ago for $235 so snag them up! I wasnt lucky enough to get it for that price but close enough. They are very well built and sturdy from what i can tell and come with a warranty. So figured for 5x less then a name brand bar and it is domestic it was worth the gamble. And if i wasnt happy i could always use it for something else or in the garage. But it has met all my expectations thus far. The mounting brackets are ANZO i also go off ebay for $75. They were raw steel without the anzo emblem lazer cut in to them. I just sanded them as well as i could and hit with 5 coats spray on bedliner over 2 days time and they came out great. Fitment is spot on and very well built. I like the fact they allow enough room for the wires to be ran under the bracket and hidden for the most part. I did put foam weather stripping on the back sides of the brackets to eliminate any metal on metal contact with the body so there will be no paint damage. And it is all wired with a rigid industries high output wire harness. I took alot of pictures of the install but here are few to show it installed. I think the bar adds alot of appeal to the jeep and makes it beefier looking! <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=510734"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=510735"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=510736"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=510737"/>

I finally got around to doing the gutter guard grille mod. I'd originally planned to buy a professionally made insert, thinking it would better stand the test of time, but it's hard to justify $100 to $300 for something I can do myself for between $20 and $30. I bought the materials last weekend, but couldn't make the time until the last few days.
I used the prepainted stainless mesh and used Gorilla Glue to apply the mounts. I think it turned out pretty good, it certainly hides the insect impacts in the radiator.

Looks great man. On my to do list this week. Where are you guys getting the sheets of gutter guard? Im only finding thin rolls of plastic type in my local lowes. They have the sheets on ebay with mounts for like $30 but im impatient and would rather buy and do it the same day.
