    Just a footnote dude. I run up and down the Parkway 20 miles each way every day. I run 138, 46 and route 23 constantly. Local and STS. And since January. I have not had an issue since. Again. Their not looking at plates. Just stickers.

    Nice Bill. They look sweet. I see you still have that pesky plate up front.
    Floods give you a wider lighted area. Work best at slower speeds. The spot give you a more narrow light beam for distance. I prefer the floods myself. Although the the larger light bars are usually a combo. Spot on the outside and flood on the inside of the bar.

    Sucks that their not legal any where. But I still use mine when I know I can get away with it. Lol. And no one's in front of me.

    20170507_144156.jpg Installed AEV's Correction Front Control Arm Brackets. WOW. What a difference in the ride. The first bump I hit I had a HOLY CRAP moment. If you have a 2" or more lift, and haven't swapped out your control arms with adjustables. You need to install some type of correction brackets. You will not beleive the difference.
    I read several links that OFFGRID posted on shocks. One thing lead to another, and I read several articles on lifted Jeeps and trucks. Which lead me to do the research on control arms. Hence, the correction brackets I actually installed yesterday. Lol.

    On another note. I have learned more in the short time I've been a member here about my JK than I learned about my XJ after 14 years. All you guys are fricking awesome. Thank you.:bowdown:

    Wow those correction brackets are a great idea. Why didn't I think of that? The only down side I see with them is that they look like they'll drag coming off of a ledge, but really most people with a JK/JKU are not wheeling them, and need them to handle well on the road, so these make a great inexpensive quickfix to a 21 year old issue for Jeeps.
