Oznium.com. They're a little pricey, but worth it. You also might have a couple of the LEDs go out when you install them, and you also might blow a fuse. to fix this issue, put a 30 amp fuse in, and contact Oznium and they'll send you a replacement for free... i had 2 out of 4 have burned out LEDs.

Thanks, MaK,

Yeah, I read the comments on their site, oznium site that is.. and lots of people have that issue or a missing ground wire, whatever... and they fix it right away, good customer service. I'm just wondering what made you decide them over autolumination.com, etc. <<<they have a 48 LED High Flux whatever whatever light, hahaa.... But I read on oznium that they use a 4 chip? Guess I'd have to ask autolumination and others what chip number they use, eh? lol.

Thanks, and GREAT TO HEAR on your mod! Sounds FUN! Congratz, man!

he got the idea to use oznium from me, chef... and i explained to him ahead of time that they do have some led burnout issues (which arent actually burnouts, they were just soldered incorrectly) and how great their customer service is...

yeah. the gear difference is only noticeable at freeway speeds. 5th gear actually exists. I must say the locker is by far my best and favorite mod. yesterday was amazing and i wasn't even in 4wd. pretty excited about getting that front diff back in.

hey MaK92-4RnR I din't know where to ask you this, but I noticed in those trip report videos you have that hi-lift cover. Is that the Neoprene cover like this one http://www.hi-lift.com/accessories/jack-cover.html ? It it worth it and does it really work? How much of a pain is it to take it on and off?

Same exact thing. all it does is protect the mechanical parts from the elements... it works to a certain point, but if you say.... dip it in water? its useless. its very easy to pull off and put on. its zips up like a jacket. keeps the jack warm theres also a full neoprene cover now too that covers the whole jack... might be a bit better protection.

yeah I saw those full covers too. I was looking at getting either one when I end up rebuilding/painting mine so my work does go to waste. It will be mounted in my bed so if it gets dunked in water then I will have more issues than the jack will get me out of haha. Thanks.

IMO dont bother. I have one, and it looks fancy, but only keeps dust off it. Its almost worn through too, and ive only pulled it off the jack 10 times maybe since i got it a year ago. I would just keep up on the maintainence and lubing and skip the cover.

I also have the handle isolator that keeps it from banging around. Works well, but my only complaint is that its just about impossible to get over the top of the jack, i have been meaning too shave it down a little to make it work better.
