Oh uh on topic I took the battery back to the parts store today and argued with the counter guy that it was the wrong size. He tried to tell me that group 35 is close enough because his computer said so, then tried to tell me that you can't use a single-terminal battery where a dual-terminal one was previously because the cables will be too short...

Oooooh propane or butane? I spotted yours by what looks like some 1xwhatevers screwed in to keep the tarp from flapping around lol. I'm trying to winterize mine, so far 1000W lighting and 1500W heater on a 15A circuit seems problematic lol. So far I've got one end held together with velcro to keep the breeze down, going to throw another tarp over the top. Also have been considering some kind of barrier with hinges in case some yahoo with a knife gets curious.

Thanks for posting this! I've been tempted to get a pair of those because my reverse lights suck, even with new bulbs. I just didn't want to waste the money if they weren't as bright as claimed.

I previously bought some LED headlights that were utterly useless. They had 120 (supposedly super bright) LED's and claimed to be 500 lumens each. They looked nice and bright standing in front of the XJ but, projected no visible light ahead of it.

Drings are hanging on custom brackets bolted to the frame rails in the front.

I like the steering too. Very solid and tight. I think its hitting my track bar bolt though.
How are those working out? Its and interesting idea. Do they make noise goin down the road?
