Can, you get the nightshades done?? AND did you fix your bulb?


Today, I relocated my license plate to the center of the spare.. wanted to get the license plate bracket off the body, and I needed a place to mount the reverse camera Im still waiting on... no pics. Its the exact same setup as JPTwins write up. this set-up (which works perfectly with a JK)

I was the only JK there, did see some LIOR guys in some nicely built up rigs though. Was that your first trip to MABell?It's a fun trail to play on, although it's a little short. Any of you going to JK Fest?

Only thing, I wired it without his write up and used different wires, I did black as ground.. the white/tan wire is actually for the reverse lights (I know because I already wired it as my trigger wire for the reverse camera)

I actually couldnt find a good place to mount it on the back of the Jeep without fabbing some sort of custom bracket... that was the decision maker for me with relocating the license plate.. I bought a license plate frame style camera.
similar to this one from best buy.. only from ebay and black

I was tihnking of something like that as well, but it's too easy to trash the OEM plate location. But I rotate my tires often and removing all that each time seems like a PITA.

its actually very easy... just one wingnut, and one quick release waterproof connector.. it adds maybe 1 minute to the process... 30 seconds to take it off, another 30 to put it on.

I've been to MaBell about 4 times already. MaBell and Rattlesnake Gutter are 2 of my favorite trails in Mass. Definitely short now that you can't pass the summit anymore. Gutter definitely has some good lightbulb trails now. JK Fest I'm not sure about, heading to CT for some private land wheeling by Region D the weekend of the 19th. Once the end of the month rolls around, might look into it, but only for a day at most. Not a fan of Rausch when it's a packed house. 5-10 rigs AT MOST per group. More than that, it's a waiting game.
