Not to add anymore parts buuuuuuut are you thinking about making a fog light mounting bracket?
Get an angle grinder, buy some aluminum, drill the holes where they go, stick it in your vice, bend it how you want it, bolt the light on..
I have the Savvy loop on mine and the loop outside face is about 3in out from the bumper and 8.5” above. I can say that if you have the OEM sway bar and the winch in the forward position, you create a nice pinch point between the two items.
Should someone not be aware of this they could get in a bind. It’s very close and you must be careful if you have the Sazzy loop.

I’m still debating about fog lights. I need to figure out what I’m going to do about turn signals first. I like the JK turn signals in the grill but then if I put fog lights they will block the turn signals.
I wanted Baja lp4s but probably going to settle for some pods. So that I can have a place for turn signals.

I see what you mean about fogs blocking where the JK turn signals would go.
I have some nice pods attached at the lower windshield. I’d literally give them away if someone would take them off and fix the cut out on the cowl the PO cut to feed the wires. Meh…I’m afraid when I use them they’ll glare off the hood.
I have GR Fenders on both my rigs so the turn signal is a 3/4” amber mounted to them. I debated the JK ones years ago but didn’t want to cut into the grill at the time. They’re subtle and look factory to most people.

Yes, but I i am still debating on where. After the fenders are done, I may put a turn signal in the front fender but I also may put them in the grill. want to make some sort of bracket that lets me mount lights to the bull bar as well. Not sure yet.
Double checked my savvy. If you can guarantee no one will have the winch on the forward position I think you might have enough clearance with it in the rear position at a solid eight and three-quarter inches. Otherwise, in the forward position, someone is going to crush their hand if unaware.
Mine is forward past the bumper 3”.

It would be helpful for Klay if someone would post the total stacked height from the bottom of the fairlead to the top of the thimble.
Yea my thoughts exactly. I’ll have a better ideal once your fenders are installed
Edit: once your fenders, hoop, and soft shackle brackets are installed I have 1 out the three parts already
I’d also like to see the front bracket match the angles of the SS corners. The square seems off to me. Something like my terrible doodle below.
don't mean to derail the conversation but are those aev fenders you have or DIY highline? if its the latter they look very well done
I thought I had a short write up on them but I’ll have to find it later. I don’t know if I mentioned them in my build.
They’re oem just modified. The driver side is oem fender and has held up well. The passenger side is a replacement fender and it’s ripped the inner from the outer (I hit it offroad and it bent and started the peeling so it’s mostly my fault but it’s fallen apart pretty fast) but they’re in such terrible shape and for someone who loves oem they’re awesome but I’m just holding out for flux’s now. This is the current state of them. Can’t wait for flux though they solve so many issues for me.
Is it possible to keep the rear plastic inner fenders with the rear aluminum corners? There is a plastic tab that sticks through the body and not sure how to make room for it.
