Installed an Interstate 72 month battery. I still had the original Mopar in my 07 and don't like to wait for things to fail.

Traded it in yesterday on a Town and Country minivan.. good and bad day, lots of memories in the short 2 years that I owned my XK, but man it felt like it was in the shop more than on the road. I'll be sticking around though and meeting up with the east coast members at RC on a fairly regular basis it seems with my XJ.

You better keep hanging around Jacob. Looking for some more family gtg's too!
Got the 30" bar yesterday. It does change the looks a lot. I'm so used to those round HID's that were one of the first things I installed, that it almost looks strange to me now. It does modernize it though. You can see a lot more grill now too.
Lit.
Why I REALLY like the Totron's extruded aluminum casing and its sliding mounting system. Try putting that light onto that existing HID bracket with the usual Ridged light's end mounts. You'd have to fabricate a large U bracket. It's a cinch with the Totron's bracket setup.
Another view.

It's BRIGHT to say the least. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING out front is lit, even the tops of 40' trees.
In the caving world, such lighting is said to be a "comforting level" of light. It may be more than one light in a caving system, but the phrase "comforting level" means enough light to light up the floor, walls, ceiling, and push back the "dead black void" of the cave tube leading away from you to at least its next corner. That's what the LED light bars do, it lights up everything within 270 degrees of the front of the rig. And, by everything, I also mean every teeny-tiny pebble and rock in the pavement ahead for at least 1,000 feet.
It's also a lot better than the HID's because when they follow the high beams, they're on NOW, not 30 seconds later after they've fully ramped up.
And, run the lower bar and the upper bar together? OMG it's high noon in front of you.
