$60 for northern tool magnetic mount LED tow lights. Caught mid turn signal flash. Nice and bright. Almost done getting ready. Last two things are mount a CB radio and fix the door sweep.

This is exciting...seeing it in the driveway, looking ready to go and seeing your taillights in action!

Yes th400. When towing my heavier yellow xj (roll cage and bigger tires) I had to keep asking the kids if it was still back there. A hair more sluggish leaving the light but cant feel a thing driving.
