Thank you sir!

Here is mod #23! Valkyrie hood vents!

What’s next? I’m trying to get bigger tires to raise me up, so I’m looking for offset wheels for my Renegade. No luck researching so far... ideas?

In the meantime, I’m looking into the Bilstein struts mentioned by IronMike3406... My Renegade is an inch higher in the back from the Eibach lift spring install, which caused my Jeep to think it ran out of gas because of the tilted gas tank. I’m hoping to raise the front an inch to level out with those Bilstein struts. Think it will work, or throw my alignment off whack?

Keep up your good work!
what is the purpose of the xprite headlights? they look cool so if thats the answer its a good one. I was just wondering what the red is for and why its part of the headlight? forgive my not understanding jeep culture if thats a reason. i am newly inducted cult member and i have a lot to learn.
My Jeep is themed after the Big Bad Wolf in the story Little Red Riding Hood because I am an English teacher... So I picked a black wolf to match my Jeep color, which I have researched as having red eyes at night. Consequently, I went with red lights to mimic wolf eyes. Also, I am a native skier/snowboarder at Wolf Creek Colorado, and I have raised malamutes, so I feel a connection to wolves. Thanks for reading!
Are you happy with the rough country lift kit? I'm looking into that myself, but I'm seeing mixed response in various forums. I'd appreciate any insight you have.
I have had no issues... The install was one of my first mods ever, but it was easy with YouTube videos and the instructions. The lift components on the struts fit great with my Eibach lift springs too! For the price, I think it’s a great product. As a result, I was able to fit bigger tires and use the provided adjustable sway bars to stay aligned and ride smoothly.
I appreciate your feedback. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I'm curious... With the Rough Country lift kit and the Eibach lift springs, what was your final gain on lift? I'm guessing it's not a full 4 inches, but wanted to get your feedback
