Installed a pair of Baja Designs lights on the rear bumper. Will get them wired up later this weekend.

That looks awesome topless with half doors.
Thanks, I’m really happy with them. I had to put the soft top on because we managed to get one nice day without cold or rain lol.

Lights came pre mounted on the inserts. Simply unscrew the three screws holding the reflector in place and swap it with the lights.

got everything wired later this afternoon. Ran everything through the frame rail.

Swapped out the factory track bar hardware for 9/16”x3” grade 8 bolts! What a difference in the feel.

I saw a video about swapping these out to minimize wiggling. I’ll probably do the same.

It’s a MetalCloak track bar but the bolts are just grade 8 9/16” x 3” with 2 washers and a Lock nut. Bonus is the zinc matches the MetalCloak Zinc coating!

You have a straight rear track bar on your front?

Those could be my next set of tires. Can't wait to see them mounted.
Thanks! I will post when Phase 1 of my JT build is done, which will likely be in July. I'm in process of scraping up the funds, redefining Phase 2, and purchasing parts.

Sunrider is perhaps the best thing I have gotten for the JT. I put mine on about 2 years ago and have never taken it off... 365/7 mode :)
