Having the aux light mounted so far out does the wheels throw stuff on them?
Good question, I just mounted them and haven’t been out on the trails yet. I’ll report back once field tested.

Baja Designs LP9s on the winch guard bar. Mopar off-road lights at the base of the A pillar.

On my old JKUR i had the mopar A pillar lights, and when i turned them on, the whole front of my hood light up and it felt like i could see less out the window.

With that being said, how are the new led a pillar lights? Are they bad about lighting up the hood? I've thought about mounting them side ways like the grey JT has in the JPP catalog.

I really like the mopar A piller lights. I like them so much I had them on my 18 jlur, my 11 Gladiator currently, wife has them on her 24 JlurX and niece is getting them on her 24 Willys. They do light up the hood some not as bad on dark colors and I have a black vinyl panel on center section of my hood. I live in the country and need to light sides of roadway for deer avoidance.

Thanks for the information. I was looking for a reason to not buy more mods. Guess i have my next project.
I understand living in the country, my blind spot warnings light up from the trees being so close to the road.

I like this setup. How’s your front camera view with the low winch bar?
Holy cow, so sorry for missing this question from 5 months ago!

The lights do block the view a little bit - the virtual "tire tracks" in the camera sit right between the lights. When off road, I have not been disappointed with the blockage especially when looking farther down trail, they don't really block anything at all. If you were using the camera for detailed, close up bouldering lines you might not like this setup. I use a spotter or stick my head out the window anyway - I have not relied on the trail cam even before I put on the bar/lights.

As you can see in the picture (sorry, it's my very used garage, not the trail) the winch bar blocks just a little bit over the stock bumper. You can see the rivets from the stock bumper just below the winch bar in the middle.

What brand bull bar is that?
RockTrix. The powder coat was terrible and had bad reviews but it's well made I had planned to have it powdercoated by a local guy. He did a great job. Think it was less than 100 on Amazon

Glad to help.
Are those custom brackets or the ones that came with it? I just bought mine and haven’t mounted them yet.

HF gave me a $120 credit since I bought the Apex 12k a few weeks ago and they just dropped the price $120.
