That decal looks great, and is really needed on the JTs with painted fenders. The black fender ones don't look so bad.

Really? I think they look better with painted fenders.

I prefer the black fender look personally. Makes it stand out a bit more IMO.

Painted ones can look good, but I love having the contrast.

This is color dependent for me. White for example I love painted fenders as it looks less rental spec. Green or blue I want the contrast of the black fenders.

Pretty cool, eh?

So, as they were getting installed I was chatting with the guy and he basically started Jersey Devil Jeeps with his fiancée. He got into graphics after he wrecked in a dirt modified race (the 350 small block cars) and was on the couch for 6 months as his tibia was nearly broken off. Needed something to keep occupied and graphic design only needs a computer so began his pretty successful side gig.
His main jerb is installing windshields and yes they stock :jeep: windshields. :lol:

I’ll get these little guys installed tomorrow and see how they do. Full fog lense so it shouldn’t piss that many people off. :excited:

They shouldn't piss off anyone if you use them only when you need to

Just about the only thing I miss about driving a truck is not being blinded by every truck/suv on the road. Gotta pay to play though. :word:

I got so tired of being blinded by everyone else running fucking HIDs in reflectors around here that I just leave my DD fogs on all the time.

If you can't beat 'em, blind 'em. Only time I get flashed is when I'm towing the trailer at night.
I may have you price out a set of LP4s or LP6s for me in the future. :lettherebelight:

Went out to install the spacers when we got home today... and turns out the JTs use external torx seatbolts. So I’ll take a run out to Lowe’s to pick that up after we put the kiddo to bed.

Hate finding little things like that right when I’m ready to start.

How’d the install go once you got the tool? Pretty easy?

Super easy install with the right tool. :lol:
Took about 20 minutes taking my time making sure everything lined up nicely.

Holy difference. I’m excited to drive home from the in-laws and see how the difference is.

'pecs and [user not found] up in here making me want to :wasteful: on muh Jeep. The stock poverty lighting is kinda meh TBH. It's funny, I have done so little night driving outside of in town in the :poorvette: it's never really bothered me that the lighting is trash... the Jeep being more of our 'adventure vehicle' of sorts, sometimes it's very dark and tough to navigate.
