Put on some kc 5" driving lights after with today.
Didn't use any windshield mounting brackets.
Just used the t40 bolt on the jeep through the actual light mount to attach the light to the jeep.
Worked really well, looks sharp and saved $.
Here are a few photos of the lights mounted...

Decided on tires.
There are SO many choices.
I was going o go w treadwright again but the muddawgs got NOISY after 10k miles.
Im going w Hankook rt03 Dyno pro mt
Getting 285 75r16 this time around
I've ran these before on my 3/4 ton diesel 4x4 and loved them.
Would've gone w 315 75r16 but would've had to buy wheels too and I don't want to right now.
Have 1.5" spacers for the stock wheels (which I've painted black).
I'll post some photos after I get them installed.
Almost time to hit the trails!!

Really?!
I haven't purchased them yet. Just ordered...
315mm isn't to wide for a 7" wheel?
I thought it might wear out the center really fast.
