So I renamed my Jeep because I won some hood decals from So-Cal4x4, For your 4x4 needs. and also ordered some new "Wrangler" stickers for the quarter panels.

My Wrangler sticker was pealing:


Chose to go with the Rubicon font and I really like how they came out:







Here's a picture of the old name "Rubiconned":

and the new name is.....

My passenger side door has been slightly out of alignment so I ordered some Magnitude Engineering hinge bushings (Magnitude Engineering) Really happy with how these came out and it lifted my door up slightly and put it back into proper alignment.

Corroded pretty good and starting to wear down:



Pounded the stock crappy bushings out with a screwdriver and a hammer. You can see the stock bushing on the end of the screwdriver:



Stock bushings vs Magnitude Engineering:



The top was all rusted and chipped so I hit all the hinges with touch-up paint:



Magnitude bushing installed:





Got some surprises shipping right now so stay tuned!

Got my "surprise" I was telling you guys about in the mail recently and dragged my feet on installing it. Now after running them for a couple days I got time to snap some pictures and tell you all what I think. I got some pillar lights from www.olympusoffroad.com, really couldn't beat the price at $125 +shipping AND they threw in some rock lights which I haven't gotten around to installing yet. I am extremely impressed by the quality and light output out of these little guys......Also who says you can't run a pillar light with the Rugged Ridge Hi-Mount snorkel? On to the pictures!

Big shout out to Brandon1024 for fabbing up a custom mount for the pillar light on the Rugged Ridge snorkel:



The one on the snorkel sits slightly higher than the drivers side light but I still really like this setup:









Sexy mount:


Switches from Radioshack for $4 each:


I'll be uploading pictures soon of the light output when the sun drops and I remember to snap pictures

Really happy with the light output and the lights in general so I got in contact with Olympus Off Road to see if there was anything I could do for them to gain exposure. Fortunately, it was suggested that I do what I normally do and post to forums! Basically they want to keep track of how much exposure the forums could give them. So if these posts have helped anyone make a decision and pull the trigger on the lights please enter the coupon code "mrbright" at www.olympusoffroad.com , I referred you to them, it helps them know more details about where sales come from.

On to the pictures:

Bought a Rigid Industries Dually for $40 from a buddy for a backup light. Got some time to get the light wired up to the other switch I had initially mounted on my A-pillar. After running the Olympus pillars for some time now and comparing to the Rigid I am definitely not impressed with the Rigid and will be selling it ASAP for what I bought it for and wiring in an Olympus pod. I really like where it is mounted and I'm glad this Teraflex hinge has these additional bolt holes to accept whatever crazy idea(s) I think up.





When I fully open the tailgate it clears the taillight. BARELY:





Also the bracket barely clears the Teraflex hinge:



But it works! I'll get some light output photos sometime soon.
