Very cool So the LED has no trouble illuminating the smoked plexy glass? Do you have the plexy glass glued to the bumper or is it mounted so that it can be removed if it ever needs to be cleaned?

did you put a safety pin on that thing? My latch trips way to easy, s I have a machinest budy fabing up a bracket to hold a safety pin so the gate doesn't swing into the jeep[/QUOTE]

I was worried about it coming unlatched when I built the bumper, but it's been 2 years now and it hasn't happened yet.

Alternative: I bought black seat shoulder belt pads like you find in wally world etc. and wrapped them around the B pillar side of the belt and let it sit just above the re-tractor slot. another simple way to stop the wind slap.

My favorite homemade is an interior mod:
These decks cover the gap between the rear seat and cargo space on a JKU. Full write up link in sig block.

Back before I had sway bar disconnects I went to lowes and matched the bolts with cotter pins and bought velcro straps and made my own disconnects. Cost $8 and worked great.

Here's my first attempt at the front bumper. A new one with some improvements is on its way.
