the other pics look awesome
, so i noticed your only using one battery? and you have a winch and a handful of lights are you looking to add another battery down the line or is your one batter really cutting it? im at a stand still right now to either get my winch and lights or to upgrade to a dual battery set up so im not sure what to do first

Sorry It took so long to reply, I have been away for a while. I believe the lights are the PIAA 520 series which are 6 1/4" in diameter. I can reconfirm the model and PM. They make both a driving and fog type setup. The light bar is using the driving lamp which is a white light and the bumper has the fog setup which has the yellow tint. Hope this helps!

I'm a total wiring novice, so.... how did you run the switch wire and tie it into the fuse box on the ignition side of the power. I mean which fuse? Or was it a spare spot with a rated fuse already in it that you just tapped into? I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "ignition side of the power." Did you run the wire straight under the blade and push the fuse back into the fuse box?? Just trying to learn. Would help loads if you could explain a bit to this novice. 
Many Thanks!!

Hey, great post, but not in detail enough for a dumbass like me lol, have you done something more in detail? more pics? and how you installed the switch panel?, i could make it a PDF file to download. There are so many of us out there that love these jeeps but dont have the necessary knoweledge to complete these mods and end up paying someone to do it.
In any case its probably the best ive seen.

Great post, but like Xknight said, a bit more detail would have helped. I have a 94 YJ that I poured alot of money into having someone else fix up for me, and with my JK I'm taking a more hands on approach and write ups like yours help me do that.
If you did have a pdf or doc file with more detail, that would be great, my girlfriend got me the same light bar for christmas and I wanted to install ASAP for our ski trip. Ill be sure to use your exisiting write up, but if something more detailed comes along Ill check it out. Thanks again, and the bar looks great!
