Added a Lightbar, Lights, new fairlead, and winchline
I'm on R&R from Iraq and had a few things waiting for me. I added a Reel Wheels Pre-Runner Lightbar and some Lightforce 170's with yellow combo-beam filter. I wan't sure they would fit with my winch, but I just had to move the control box to over the bridge from over the motor. No problem, and I think it looks really good. I also added a Viking Winchline I got from David at Northridge 4x4 (best customer service I've ever delt with by-the-way) and an aluminum fairlead from Off Road Evolution. Here's a before picture...
and here are a few after pictures...
my total front end bumper package is this;
Expedition One Basic Bumper with Side wings
Pure Jeep Shackle mounts
Smitybilt XRC8 Winch
Off Road Evolution Aluminum Fairlead
Viking 3/8" x 90' winchline in Black (with HD Sleeve and safety thimble)
Mopar fog light wiring extension
Teraflex shackles (included in Teraflex recovery kit)
Mopar factory tow hooks
Lightforce Striker 170's with Yellow Combo Filters

this week I got my hinges back from getting a nice coat of Line-x, and for free to beat all. A buddy of mine did the work and it turned out very nice. I am ready to line-x my whole tube now, but the $700 price tag may take awhile to get approved by the wife.

I think I have decided I am going to paint my hinges... I have banged them up pretty good removing and putting the doors back on and it just looks so clean... just need to find the time and a good stretch of weather to take care of this.
Installed my Rugged Ridge light bar yesterday but no lights yet... I am mounting bike fork mounts to the light bar to make a bike rack for 2, maybe 3 bikes... it was a good way around getting the light bar and having a functional bike rack... I will take pictures and post them when I am finished.
