    Took advantage of some warm weather this afternoon to get my Matt Gecko LED light kits installed. Very happy with this big upgrade!

    Now all that light under the hood makes my engine bay look filthy. :anonymous: I need to spend some time under there soon.

    Technically this happened yesterday, and yes I also posted this pic in my own separate thread, but I got these wheels (which I got for $0 and DIY refinished) and new tires mounted and I’m really happy with the look.

    wire wheel attachments on my Dewalt drill, some paint stripper, lots of sanding, and about a thousand coats of hyper dip (the color is “brass monkey”). See attached pic for how they started

    Made some progress on the dual battery system. Mounting the battery trays, the DC-DC charger and Fuses. The next step will be to wire it in.

    Is the 3rd gen pro worth it over the off road?
    Looking at a used 2020 pro lightly moded.

    Always buy new if you can swing it. I prefer the off-road trim with led headlights and zero other factory options as there's tons of aftermarket parts available to customize it to your needs and wants. The off road rides very nice and is quite capable. You'll save a ton of cash over the pro trim too.

    After 3 years, I finally decided to install the knock off Heritage/Pro grille. I do like the look, but after I got it all installed I’ll admit I was a bit underwhelmed. Meh, it looks arguably better I suppose.

    Can you tell me how does the light go on under the hood, is it by a switch or does it go on with a switch when you open the hood? Where did you order the under hood kit from?

    You can order from matt gecko leds. I have the same thing under my hood. Its nice and its controlled by a switch. You probably could change it to the switch that turns it on when you open the hood

    Compressor barely fits with wiring reroute but it does fit. Admittedly I did leave out the small rear jacker to keep some angle on the seat.
