Amazing build thread. Lots of cool stuff. I might have to "borrow" a few ideas.

Looks great! I've been following your build for some time and I have to say, I am impressed! Keep up the good work!

Quick question: How did you deal with the hyper-active flashers after you made the switch to LED?

I've been trying to source a LED compatible relay, but haven't been able to find one.

thanks!

i simply installed some of the heavy duty resistors meant for that purpose. i put them in the taillight harness since it was easy to get to. one resistor per side took care of having LED bulbs in the front and back.

Nice rig! I've got an 04 WJ that is more of a DD/Camp rig, but yours certainly provides a lot of inspiration! Can't believe you still don't have a front bumper though lol.

You wouldn't be interested in some Overland rails would you cowboy?
