Now THIS is going to be KC Equipped build that you’re gonna want to read all about. We sat down with KC Ambassador and expert rock-crawler, Adam Pfeifer aka @oh_that_1_dude, to discuss the his Jeep named Titan and determine which lights he uses most while tackling the trails. From dominating some of the toughest trails from Die Tryin’ in Montrose, CO to Hell’s Revenge in Moab, to having an accidental roll-over that totaled the Jeep and required a full rebuild, Titan has been through it all. So grab your popcorn, sit back, and enjoy what Adam has to say about the Jeep JK that gets him through the toughest of rock-crawling trails.

What’s the backstory behind your Jeep Titan?

“I bought the Jeep JK about 4 yrs ago and it was black and had 20” wheels, another brand lift, armor etc. When I bought it, I had no plans of taking it off road. Well, that didn’t last long. After some buddies convinced me into going off road with it, I realized it needed some changes…. and so it began. It’s now evolved into a rock crawling, trail busting, street legal machine! It has a new color, bigger axles, tires, roll cage, lights etc. I wanted a well-built Jeep that can do any trail I throw at it, day or night, and be able to drive home.”

Why did you choose KC Lights?

“Like many, I started out with some no-name lights from amazon. After a few rains, car washes, and snowy trail runs, the lights didn’t perform or hold up and always got condensation behind the lens. I was done – I needed lights that would hold up to the test and weren’t afraid of getting wet. I compared big name brands side by side and at the end of the searching, my choice was KC. I especially loved that they kept the round lights to match the jeeps factory headlights and in addition, their warranty is phenomenal. For a company to have that long of warranty says a lot to me – it says they take pride in their product just like I take pride in my Jeep. I’m running their Pro6s, FLEX series, Cyclones, and the Multi-function chase light. Every light that’s on Titan serves a purpose, I have zero issues going from rock crawling, high speed, or just posting up at the mall.”

Let’s Take a Peek Underneath:

“With 40″ Mickeys, double triangulated four link rear suspension, front and rear bulletproof Fusion 4×4 axles, and all of the armor, my Jeep is a true rock-crawler at heart: I wanted a well-built a Jeep that can do any trail I throw at it, day or night, and be able to drive home.” And take it from us – we’ve seen him take on some of the toughest trails including the Rubicon, John Bull, and many others, and Titan handles it all and comes out begging for more.

What lights do you use most to crawl with?

“Of all my lights, to be honest, some of my favorites that are most useful while crawling at night are the Cyclones. I have 16 of ’em underneath Titan – which is definitely overkill – and 6 more for interior lighting. They allow me to see exactly where my tire placement needs to be and make crawling at night much safer. Next up in terms of importance for the slow speed stuff is my 10” FLEX LED Light Bar on the front bumper along with the Gravity Pro Headlights so I can see what’s coming up next on the trail.”
