^ X2...love the look of the LED headlights but $600 bones buys my 7 year old a pair of Rossignol Scratch Pro twin tip skis and boots for this coming ski season at our local mountain.

Plus I am happy with the IPF headlights I picked up for $150.00....much brighter than stock and I still get lots of people flashing me thinking I have my high beams on. I was thinking either blacking out the tail-lights or looking at a set of LED taillights...not sure which direction next spring...just have to see how my funds are....more than likely blacking out using one of the write-ups.

If you have IPF lens, I recommend you run the Philips Xtreme power +80%. Those will be BRIGHT.

I tinted my tail lights and I am looking to go to LED too. I think that green rubi with the 3" lift and the 33x12.50 STT's is BEAUTIFUL!

Those are what I have...

They are like flame throwers. Combine them with the Pilot Fog upgrade I did and I have some serious light without adding any additional housings or mounts.

Your 2 cents is perfectly understandable. My wife was not very happy about the price. But, I liked them, I wanted them and they really are sick at night. The way the headlights put off the perfect horizontal beam is awesome.

It looks better with the lift on, but I haven't taken any pictures of it recently.
I like that.. I'm starting to gravitate towards a 10" rather than the 12.5. It just looks cleaner for some reason to me. Good looking tire too..

No lift. Micky Thompson baja claw ttc's 33x12.5r17 on procomp alloys with 4.75 back spacing. Down sized from the stock 18" wheel so I could have more options for tires and backspacing. I have gotten it muddy and believe me with these bad boys 2wd deep mudd and ruts. No problem. Maybe not worth the gas milage thing, but hey, we bought a jeep...

Default 275 x 70 x 18 versus 285 x 65 x 18

i am thinking of 285 x 65 x 18 nitto trail grappler instead of, 275 x 70 x18 simply coz the 285s run approx $40 cheaper per tire (dunno why). any thoughts?
i noticed that there's not a lot of people running 285 x65....is there any reason? looking at that configuration of 285s ; i would lose about 1/2" in height but gain
1/2 inch in width. all opinions welcome!!!!!! good or bad.
