I found this one at Genright.com but need to see if it fit my KJ.

I'll be sure to get video of the KJ's maiden SFA voyage.

It wont work. The turn signal. hazzard warning indicator is a combined unit up under the dash and works in concert with the vehicles computer. They dont make one for our KJs. I have been looking for one as I have LEDs on my custom front bumper and have the same fast flash. And I feel your pain on trying to figure out the wiring on the turn signals as both sides are different. In line resistor are the answer, I have just been to busy to get a set of them installed.

either line resistors or just wire in a regular bulb and tuck it up in some where , it will all act OK then as you have a regular bulb taking the power and it will not flash fast on you then. Its not the best trick but it works

Cool, thanks. The fast flash doesn't bug me at all, but then again I only sat in the driver's seat in the shop and made sure they worked. I have yet to actually drive the jeep yet.

I just bought a rear Detroit Locker for the jeep. All I need now is a Rocktrac 4:1 t-case and I'd be done with mods on the jeep for a really long time.

Yeah, I think i will live with it, at least until I get other stuff sorted out on my jeep first. Thanks again for the info.

I hooked up a trailer to my KJ the other day to tow my buggy and it blinked normal, so I'm gonna see if I can put an extra bulb inline somewhere behind the bumper. It should make it blink normal that way.

The Detroit Locker showed up today, talk about fast delivery, free too!

All the hard work will be done by this Tuesday.

Then I just need some fine tuning and then I need to mock up some skids.

Wheeling pics by Wednesday night.

Can't wait to see this Inc.

This may seem a silly question though: As awesome as your KJ is.... why? Why'd you decide to SFA your KJ as opposed to picking up a wrangler that already HAS a SFA?

Just seems.... a bit... odd (although incredible!) to me.

Maybe he feels the same way that I do. It seems that 90% of the trucks you see on the trails are Wranglers and are basically all the same. Besides that I like the Liberty better. I will be doing mine based on how Inc. does his.

I have had a CJ, 2 YJs and 2 TJs. I really wanted to build up another TJ but the longer I owned my KJ the more I grew to really really enjoy it. I knew if I sold it and bought a TJ, I may not have regretted it, but I would have put nearly as much $$$ into build a TJ as I have this KJ. There are less than 10 SFA KJ, that we know of anyway, and I think that is pretty dang cool. I can fit a bunch of tools, gear and my wife and kids in this jeep and I couldn't do that with a TJ or LJ. I would have had to buy a 2 door JK and would have spent way more money to get it the way I wanted it. For me the KJ was the best and most functional solution to my needs.

I had this made up today...

I needed to show who did all the amazing work. I think it turned out well.

Now one on each rear side window or one on the lower driver side corner of the rear hatch glass????

each side would be like an advertisement overload

one on the back hitch glass is more of who you reppin IMO

I decided one on the back hatch.

The exhaust was done today, turned out good. The jeep is actually quieter than before at idle but has a nice rumble when you get on the gas. Gears and the detroit going in shortly...

Not sure about the "more" part, but I've really impressed a lot of Wrangler owners.

INC: How about measuring from the ground to the bottom of the door. I need to find out if I can get these legs up into the Jeep before I go to the $$$ of doing the SAS.

Fold down ladder mod.
Or have a little rope ladder to roll down from the inside. :D
