Bumper Lights and Hitch Wireing Harness
So today I had a chance to finally install my hitch wireing harness and also the rear bumper lights...For now I wired them to light up with the tails/turn/brake lights, but later on I will swap them out to clear white lights for reverse assistance (I have not found the white ones I like, yet). You will see in the pics provided that I soldered on a "pig tail" to the hitch harness so i can just unplug it when ever I'd like. I didn't take pics of the actual install, 'cause I just followed the thread on the lights that has install pics. So, on to the pics.....
Here you can see the hitch harness with the pig tail and the light harness as well.

O.K., no night pics yet 'cause since I wired them into the hitch harness, I still have to program the computer so it knows I have a hitch. Therefor they will not light up yet.
PS: That license plate holder was a gift from my girl so, don't hate me 'cause you aint me. LOL!!!
$$$New Wheels and Tires$$$
New wheels and tires installed tonight, Man what a difference! I had to take some quick pics for someone (Hmmm?) so, they are not the best. Whenever I have time to clean up the Jeep and take nice pics, I'll replace these. But, for now here you go....."Someone".

First Thoughts............
The offset is perfect..puts the wheel just about flush with the flairs. There is plenty of clearance on backside to clear the dreaded bolt. Gives the Commander a muscular look from the front/rear and fills out the wheel wells nicely. The tires rub at full lock in the usual spot but, just barely. I think I can get away with just remolding the inner wells and not mess with the pinch weld, we will see later. These tires are not as aggressive as I wanted but, they are almost silent. If I roll up the windows and kick on the a/c, I cant here them at all. I do 95% on road daily driving so, tire silence is a plus. We will see how they perform next month at Uhwarrie.
