Trying to get a land loan. Banks want HALF down in order to give out a loan? If I could afford HALF don't you think I would just wit till I had the other half saved up and just buy outright?

So hard to get anywhere, I just keep running into walls.

I cannot for the life of my find anything I like and isn't under $50 a set. If anyone has any suggestions please PLEASE let me know because I'm wanting something soon. I really wanted the square hole bumper but there was like a $200 upcharge from what the normal round hole bumper ran so I just skipped it. I don't really regret it even though I would really like to have the square lights.


I could always make something like this though:

2 inch LED Square Fog Light Kit Mounting Brackets for 07 15 Wrangler Jeep JK 4WD | eBay

I still have my OEM if you want them? Not sure if they will fit with your bumper, but they are yours if you need them.

Ahhhh yes......sounds all to familiar.
Sucks big time!

We found 33 acres about 20 miles away. Old dilapidated cabin on it. Creek through it and on a a hillside backing up to BLM.

Killer property neighboring area surrounded by 5 acre lots or larger or larger. All forested ready to blaze some ATV / UTV trails for 120k.

Figured in 20 years it put house up there. Even has power to the cabin.

With an over 800 credit score we had no luck.....50% down, bottom line.

Still pissed thinking about it.

I was meaning more like the Rigid Industries (but the eBay knockoffs because I can't afford the real ones!) lights.

Yes I am using the stock block. Just wondering why some owner who purchased the same springs ex is leveled without the stock block, why is my ex sagging with it? I have also changed the rear shocks.

Sounds like it's time to start your own thread with lots of pictures, then the community here may be able to figure why you aren't getting the results you expected.

Installed my HPx, and FRx yesterday... The HPx took all of 10 min, the FRx on the other hand... That plug on rear drivers head gave me hell... Finally remembered I had some bolt easy outs, and it grabbed that plug and came right out! If I would have just started with that I would have been golden. O well lesson learned.
