Good stuff! My dad got me into jeeping. I remember being really young and I would shift gears while sitting on his lap in his wrangler and he would drive me around the neighborhood. Now I take him rock crawling .

This is a great idea and I like the location. I've been thinking about daytime running lights and some white LEDs there may just be the solution. Many thanks

After throwing these on, I had the same idea for the white ones but I thought it'd be a little over-kill

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but painted the stock muffler with high temp paint is cheap and easy.

My oem muffler was getting all rusty and looked like crap, painted it black and it looks great.
