Default 2009 JK X Unlimited (Black on black)
Just picked her up on the 28th.

Mods so far include:

285/60/r18 Nitto Terra Grapplers

18x9 XD Rockstars

Smittybilt tube bumpers front / rear ( looking for nerfs to match )

(2) PIAA Spots on the front bumper

K&N Panel filter ( looking for CAI to replace)

Well kids thats all for the first two weeks of her life, there will be more

Trying to decide on what kind of lift to put under her. I need to stay under 6'8" for the parking garages in Downtown Houston

You can probably get away with a 4" lift if ya wanted. My 2 1/2" sits the highest point of my hard top at about 6'3".

Looking at a lift somewhere in between 2.5-4". also, how dificult is it to mount / wire the lights on the side of the windshield? is it a DIY project or should i have it done in a shop? can i wire them in conjunction with the switch that runs my PIAA's on my bumper
