I just installed some kick ass backup light bulbs. I was thinking about adding more lights in the back. Then.. I found a 5w Cree led replacement bulb! The bulb number is a 3157. These lights are so bright I have a hard time looking at the back of my jeep with them on. These bad boys will make you squint. I got them on eBay and I will provide a link. But there is a "make offer" choice. I told him 25$ and he accepted.

If there is anyone around here like me that likes his lights bright loud this is for you!

Look at this on eBay:

2pcs 3157 3156 White CREE Q5 5w LED + 12 5050 SMD - BACKUP LIGHT BULBS w LENS*

I got my tires from Treadwrite online. They are retreads but I've seen numerous forum threads swearing by them. I've driven mine 28000 miles so far, as fast as 90 MPH, Las Vegas to North Carolina as the farthest trip, towed a 6,000 lb trailer, and rock crawled hundreds of miles as low as 12PSI. Here's the best part, they're priced very nicely. I got 5 with shipping for right around 1,000.

I didn't find many off road places at possum kingdom lake. There were plenty of places to camp. Also there is about 20 miles of maintained hike/bike trails. We had a great time. It's only about 1.5 hrs from Abilene. If you haven't been there I would recommend checking it out.
