what type and where to place aux lights.
Does anybody have aux lights... if so are they down on the bumper or up on the windshield?
I would like to know what your thoughts are on the type and position or anything else that make them worth having.

Two Year Follow Up
Compressor is still working like a champ. Saved me lots and lots of quarters so far, but better yet was knowing that out in the middle of Nowheresville, I had air if it was needed.
After getting ripped off to re-fill my tires at a gas station recently, I decided it was time to try an alternative. Bought this for $49 (shipping included) on Amazon. Only took 4 days to arrive on my front doorstep - haven't tried it out yet, but I like the idea of having a source for air while out on the trail, as well as a means to fill up after a ride.

Edit: Oh yeah, O'Reilly Auto Parts wants $70 for the same unit. They go by model numbers MV50, MF-1050, and MF-1052.

Very nice jeep!
I've got a set of Pro Comps on my bumper. I think these are the best because they were free.
My lift is 5" in the front and 4" in the rear. It's worked out pretty good on the trail. In the pic below you can see me about to drop my driver side tire off a rock. I was in a line of about six or eight jeeps and almost everyone dragged their rear bumper when the rear tire dropped off the rock. I didn't drag and had room to spare when my rear tire came down.

brandon, i have two hella black majic lights on a light bar on the front bumper, the bar was only installed to give me a place to tie the kayaks to without using the factory hood handle, i had a t-post welded for the center tab that i only install when im hauling the kayaks...just made use of the other two tabs with the lights, ive used them a lot coming out of the hollow on foggy mornings, well that and scaring folks that cut my off in gate traffic
with that said, i really like the looks of the ones installed on the windshield, but i wouldnt use them and they'd block my redstone sticker.....

Starting Over
Well, I traded Recon last night for a 08 4dr Rubicon. It is an automatic. Definitely not going to the extreme like I did with Recon. I did keep the Schrockworks rear bumper, winch, CB and a few other goodies.
