Decided to replace the cheap generic amazon lights on the bumper to kcs. Price wise the amazon were great, bright and cheap but i started noticing some moisture and for the life of me i dont understand why they dont include stainless steel bolts? All the bolts and mounts are rusting. Anyways, these kcs are discontinued but i liked the design.

Installed the Vision X reverse lights. Added some reflective tape to the bracket.

These are so much brighter than the oracle reverse lights. I wired mine to a switch because theyre too bright to always turn on while reversing in certain situations imo.

You have the Mopar flaps right? I held mine up to the WeatherTech flaps and they seem to follow the line better. I'm waiting on some rivets to be delivered then I will post for sure. But, your's looks good for sure. Not hating!

No everything had to be assembled. I had an issue with getting the bolts in the driver's side attaching the top to the rail. They just won't line up even with everything loosened. I managed to get the front one in finally. But the back one won't go in. Waiting to hear back about a replacement rail.

Brake system flush and stainless steel extended lines from Clayton going on the rear.
Want to eliminate any risk of damage to the lines at flex with the lift kit.

Helps to have a kid doing ASE certifications and a shop. :like:
He finished Subaru school and is a level 1 Subaru Tech and has passed 5 ASE certs so far.

Proud Dad for sure... He just turned 16 and has been raking up those certifications.
Plan is to go to school for automotive engineering. Hoping he will design things we can actually work on as he is learning first hand that some things are a pain in the ass to access.

Is this the rugged ridge venator bumper? Do you like it? And did you just tap the lights into the override bar?

Yes and as far as like, it fits my needs. I dont plan on ever rock crawling with this so that's why I got a full sized bumper. If you plan on going rock crawling or really big tires, I would chose a different bumper. And yes, I just drilled 2 holes into the override bar for the lights.
