Had a busy weekend, I installed some KC Gravity Pro Headlights, KC Flex 20" light bar, and topped it of with a Warn Zeon 10S winch. Love how it turned out!
Synthetic winch line rule #1. Aluminum fairleads are soft and easily damaged. Keep that stainless thimble out of the fairlead opening. If you damage the smooth surface, it is no different than dragging your line over a sharp rock. I don't know where you got that red thing the hook is swinging from, but either give it back, or convert to something like the Safety Thimble to protect your fairlead, at which point you won't need that red thing anyway.Had a busy weekend, I installed some KC Gravity Pro Headlights, KC Flex 20" light bar, and topped it of with a Warn Zeon 10S winch.

Like the look... gotta agree with Blaine, Steel against Aluminum is bad mojo.Synthetic winch line rule #1. Aluminum fairleads are soft and easily damaged.

I'm glad that you're happy with the additions to your Jeep! You added a winch, which makes me think that you are going to use this Jeep off-road at some point. Have you considered adding some front recovery points? I don't see any d-rings attached to the front bumper, and it looks like the tow hooks have been removed.
Very cool! I almost went with these before I stumbled upon the Vision X Vortex headlights.
They look great, and I like the projectors!
As long as you never move the Jeep it's just resting there. Once you start driving, it starts bouncing up and down in the hole and you need some tension on the line to make stuff behave. Yes, fairleads are cheap. Winch lines in the Synthetic flavor however, are not. If you damage the smooth opening and then drag the line over it under tension, it will shred your pretty new line and it can let you down when you least need it not to.Thanks for the tips, its just resting on it so I don't think it would cause any damage, but I will keep an eye on it, if anything new fairleads are not too expensive. Thanks

Man I just love the look of a white Jeep. One day I'll have one. Digging the looks of the KC Gravity lights too. Bet they light up the night nicely.
How was the install on the lights?? Did you need a harness adapter?? ThanksHad a busy weekend, I installed some KC Gravity Pro Headlights, KC Flex 20" light bar, and topped it of with a Warn Zeon 10S winch. Love how it turned out!View attachment 39594 View attachment 39595 View attachment 39596
I think a good solution might be to wrap the rope on the left hook and runt the hook to the other.? I may need a sleeve or something to protect to rope from the sun.
Just for clarification. The KC gravity pro will fit a tj? All the online shops say 07 and up. Thanks.
