Default Todays Project rubicon

Today, for my first project since buying my 2012 Rubicon last week, I removed the stock front bumper
and replaced it with a Smittybilt Gen 2 bumper. I also added a Smittybilt 10,000 lb Waterproof Winch
with Synthetic rope.
It took the better part of the day, partly because the instructions are somewhat lacking and some hard
to reach locations.
All in all, I am very pleased with the results. Next, gotta add some lights to it !

Am looking at KC brand lighting, a pair for the Bull bar. Other than the most common 100 watt
Lights that go for around $ 120 / pair, does anyone have any experience or input regarding
their other offerings, mostly LED and pricier. But, I am willing to spend the money if it's worth
It. I don't particularly care for the large "KC" Grill Guard.

I havent done much with KC but i do like to run Rigid Industries. the led lights they make will definatly light the way and blind everyone else on the road if you are not carefull.
I removed my stock driving lights and replaced them with the rigid dually d2's and they are so much brighter its not even close and they only use about 3 watts vs the stock 25 watts i think it was.
