The LEDs are on dStack's JK (Atlanta area). Not sure if you were thinking our Dennis (Denny) had installed them - to my knowledge he hasn't although he has been wrenching on his 2012.

Eddie took this pic of a JK out at SEMA - is this sort of what you're shooting for Micah (ignore the scoop in the middle)?

Poison spyder soon to release hood vents, yep, probably be buying these of they are reasonable priced. Better than buying a new aev hood, or messing up the stock one cutting my own vents.

That's EXACTLY what I'm also planning to go with Chris. Didn't say anything as I don't think they're ready to go prime time just yet. Here's a pic of one I found on a forum member's rig.

Awesome!!!
I love the Rigid LEDs and want more....although its not necessary at all. I should receive my nice little brackets to replace the zip ties on my 10 inch bar on the bumper....however, my Jeep is sitting at the dealer getting the transmission rebuilt....for the second time within a year. AND its covered under the lifetime powertrain for the second time. While they will have it for more than a week....That's much better than a $3000 bill.

As you said, ignoring the one in the middle, that's pretty much exactly what I'm going for. The louvers are nicely recessed, they look good, they're at the hot spots, and they don't go over the hood supports.

Great find!!

You get more use out of warranties than anyone I've ever met - I heard there's a tire shop over in GA that cringes ever time they hear your name or when they see a Jeep Green JKU pull into their parking lot.

Good to hear about the $3k save.

Jeep is looking good. How'd the tires balance out?

Hey gary,

Do you have a link to that picture that you posted? I'd like to find out more about that vehicle.

Micah
