Decided I didn't like where the fog lights were mounted. So I made some mounts out of some spare deck connectors laying around, then drilled the holes in the bumper. The last picture is now the finished product.

Decided to finally detail my interior since I purchased the Jeep. There was a good bit of dog hair under the rear seat. And really it just needed a good cleaning. Well, I found a neat little compass/stopwatch.

Yes, much better fog light location. They looked absolutely silly in the previous location.
New location is much better! Good job!
Installed the mopar rocker rails with side steps. Previously had the bodyarmor 4x4 side steps but really like these one. They also mount in the factory holes, which is pretty nifty.

Very nice. I am also running the body armor ones on my TJR with the factory rails. What you think is better on these ones in comparison?
The only two things that can be arguably better are 1. Since they are connected to the body there's much less chance of any metal bending or sheering and 2. If you install a body lift it will not affect the look of the side rails. The 2nd reason is why I ultimately pulled the trigger on they. They look very similar to the bodyarmor ones, just sit ~2 inches higher.
Did you recently repaint it? It looks immaculate on the underside of the body.
Yep, when I removed the stock Rubicon rails last weekend I figured it was a great time to get everything down to bare betal and redo the paint.

I took my $25 endoscope and looked inside of the body mount cavity. Hardly any surface rust so I sprayed some Eastwood frame coat in there (the green stuff). Happy now that it's all clean.
Good points.
@Chris I still see new ones on eBay. You should consider a pair to hide the gap from your body lift . It'll go very nicely with your bumpers.
Job well done! Definitely looks like new! I like those sliders a lot too. I currently have the BodyArmor 4x4 ones like you did, and I've been thinking about doing this Mopar ones as well.

Trust me, I was just thinking about this the other day. It would serve as a step, and it would hide the body lift.
@Damazzaro great job on the paint. Looks really really nice man!
I'm tempted to get this one as well, seeing as it's MOPAR. However, I'll add that I like the somewhat rough texture that the stock rails and the Body armor steps add. It breaks the montotonic look on my black TJ. Do you think the strength/functionality of these ones that @Damazzaro posted is better than the combo you and I have? That would make me replace it for sure.
