4x4tographer 2,727 Posted January 10, 2022 Nice photo! The halos turned out nice. Got to listen to Brady's new exhaust setup at the Holiday Party. Sounded pretty mean upon start-up and at idle! He seems really happy with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You guys did some great work on her and that's pretty damn cool in my humble opinion. Edited January 10, 2022 by shellback91 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's so cool to see him with a Jeep of his own now. ❤️ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theksmith 3,849 Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) a few more minor updates... forgot to mention previously that B installed these locking hood hinges over the holidays: he also wanted to move the license plate to the spare tire and install a backup camera he got for Christmas, so we re-used my previous 3rd brake light LED strip along with a several new items: - Rear Spare Tire Mount License Plate Relocator Bracket - Custom Dynamics red (smoked lense) Truflex led strip - Super Bright Motorcycle License Plate Light - Aluminum Alloy License Plate Frames - AUTO-VOX Cam 6 Rear Reverse Backup Camera - Jeep Wrangler Rear License Plate Deletion Panel - JST SM Male and Female Plugs - wire, crimp connectors, heat-shrink, acrylic plates, and misc fasteners that i already had this weekend we also installed a set of Geometry Correction Drop Brackets. these correct caster after a lift which improves tracking and can also help prevent death wobble. a set of adjustable lower control arms could also be use to adjust caster without the small loss in clearance that these brackets cost. however, for the type of trails B will likely be doing in the near future, these are an inexpensive way to solve the problem and also help reduce the harshness of minor bumps since they lower the angle of the arms.

dzJeepChic 2,441 Posted January 17, 2022 That's so cool that he's going all gadgety on Fiona, LOVE the back up camera. I had a similar drop bracket geometry correction set up on my first XJ; got it after my first death wobble experience. BTW it solved the issue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgaz 546 Posted January 17, 2022 Does the rear view camera use the stock rear view mirror as a screen? Details? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Details? he has an aftermarket stereo with a dedicated backup camera input, so the generic camera just plugged right in (RCA style plug). then we tapped the reverse lights for power to the camera, so when you put it in reverse the camera comes alive and the head unit then sees a signal so it switches the screen to that input automatically. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
