Just got this under hood light. Will install and review soon.

Installed the light. Full disclosure- this was given to me by Doctor 4x4. I told them I’d take it if I can be honest in my review. They agreed. Pros- Seems to work pretty well. Very bright. Easy to install. Cons - made in China, no instructions and doesn’t turn on when you lift the hood - gotta use a switch.

Coming soon. Probably tie in to factory bed LED.

Stumbled on this sale from @Bestop for Elemnt doors and bought front and rear for less than 1 set normally cost. Uppers look super pricey and not seeing lower enclosures. I prefer these classic tube look to the new Core design. https://www.bestop.com/jeep/2019/wr...ocj3HJvI2DKnE_VxbgPKgVpt8IzC3v3xoCdnUQAvD_BwE

These arrived. It’s pretty cold so it’s gonna have to wait a while for install. I’ll pull them out soon to make sure they are ready to go for when it gets warm.

Just ordered the Rusty’s 2” Advanced kit. No ETA yet. Very excited!!! https://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-jt-gladiator-2-advanced-kit.html
I was back and forth between this kit and Clayton and both seem very well made but price ultimately led me to Rusty’s.
