I utilized the original fog lights by mounting them with four 2" L brackets from Home Depot. (2 on top and 2 on bottom) they worked perfect. Used spray on bed liner to finish it off. I can try to get som pics of how the fog lights are mounted if you want

It's a block heater, oil pan heater and a battery heater. Definitely need the block and oil pan heater for Fairbanks, no matter if you have gas or diesel.

The JK's are getting real popular here now. I bought mine in 11 and since then it seems like every other rig you see on the road is a JK. Maybe I just become more aware now that I own one or two! Lol

Thanks and no troubles. If you have a shop winterize your vehicle your probably looking at close to 4-5 hundred! Save your money and do it yourself, it's real easy and you can get all the parts for about 200 depending on year of jk and engine. The block heater cost me the most and I want to say it was about 150 if I remember right. Not sure why they are so expensive for a 3.8? Oil pan and battery heater were only about 20 bucks a piece
