Matrix Brush Guard System has been ordered!!!! Too bad it's back ordered. :( It's ok though, I can wait a few weeks, I guess!

Will take pics of before, during, and after install! Can't wait!!! :thumbsup:

And on to my question...? Which lights should I toss on there? I know the Hella Black Magics are pretty sweet but I'm lookin for some bright a$$ sh!t!! Any recommendations?

[hemisareslow]

I had a set of the black magics and they were pretty nice....now I have a set of piaa 550s on my truck...the hi/low beam function is nice...what is your budget on lights?

lol you got it cap'n!

[JeepCoop]

Got my brush rail kit and grill hoop kit...now awaiting the Matrix mounting platform and I will post pics and a how to.

Side note: 4xGUARD has OUTSTANDING customer service, is promp with replies. Also they are super super nice- always good when ordering stuff online! It's nice to have companies out there who still actually care about their customers and not just about making a buck!

[Camaro614]

[JeepCoop]

Nice! Im gonna do a how to post soon so look out for it! :D

[Micallef]

i wannnaaaa seeee picccttuurrreeeee!!!

[OBXJeep]

Nice. And def + rep for the how to

[JeepCoop]

Well I finally got my mounting platform and had a day of wrenching today!

Here's how it went...:D

First off I wanna say how awesome 4xGUARD is. During shipping my Brush Rail Kit lost its bag of bolts and within 2 days tops, I had a new bag, with more than enough bolts! That was one of the problems cuz I kinda had to guess which bolts went where and I had so many diff bolts. (no one likes having extra bolts after an install!! haha) Anyways, the instructions weren't the best or easiest to follow either. I wish there were more pics, but I had the website to reference which was actually better. The whole install didn't take more than an hour er so, and it was a whole lot of fun to do! I didn't even have to take off the bumper cover!! I am going into 4wheel parts near my school tomorrow and getting some D ring shackles!! I def wanna get some lights soon to complete the package, but I can wait a lil while. Enjoy the pics! Questions and comments are welcome w open arms and open legs! haha jk

agreed

[Seminole-3]

Looks really good. Are you going to keep it black or paint it to match eventually?

Thanks!! :) I think I'm gonna keep it black. Taillights are black too and I like how it matches. Gonna get the 4XGUARD front skid plate in silver too. Ya never n know tho. Haha

I was toying with the idea of painting it to match when I got mine. I don't have any black currently with mine being that it's an overland so it would kinda look out of place. Also thought about coating it in color matched line-x. I did that with my JK's grille. Came out great!

Nice!! Mines an overland too and I'm sure it would look fantastic painted to match! And now you got me thinking! Hahaha when are you getting yours??

I'm sure further down the road. I just got the WK in august and I have to get the basics done first (lift, tires, performance stuff etc.). I'm hoping that they are still making them by then.
