I used a cinder block to flex it a little today!

I replaced my wipers and my driver side wiper arm today seeing as I've had the wipers for a little over a year and they were starting to streak and the wiper arm wasn't keeping the blade in contact with the wind shield so I was having to look around the water it was leaving behind. The nice guys at autozone even let me use their tools to swap the arm.

I bought myself another led bar to go on the basket so I can move the lights I have now around and get better coverage.

What size bar did you get for your basket? I have a 4door with a curt basket w/extension on top. I bought a 41" bar for my rack and used a rigid industries 20"bar mount with the center cut out to get it to fit the narrower curt rack. I wish I had a pic of the set up for you, I pulled it because when I was driving especially anything off-road it would bounce around like crazy. (Bugged the he'll out of me.)I think bacause of the weight of the bar, But you have the shorter rack cuz your 2 door bet it's pretty solid. I've been mulling mounting the bar to my roof but you know thats a one way street when you start drilling holes in your roof.lol Anyway nice blazer bro.

Well I have plans for a larger bar on the front of the basket, but what I got was a little 6" bar to go on the back of the basket in the center. And I know what you mean when you're talking about the bar bouncing. The 20" I have on my bull bar used to bounce like crazy since the mounting tabs have a little gap between them and the bar so I got some modeling foam and cut off some and then wrapped it in electrical tape so it wouldn't fall apart in the rain and wedged it between the tab and the bar and the bounce is gone. But anywho, I only got a small bar for the back of it so I can get more coverage and better sight while backing up.

HHmm, I just bought a set of the 6led flood pods for the back of my blazer( AHm I may have backed into a tree damaging my rear bumper and leading me to consider a little more light in the back.lol) I was going to wire up but you get me thinking I might want to get a larger bar for my rear as well.

As you can see in my pictures I have two pods on the back already, and trust me they are plenty of light to use for backing up, but I figured since I have a little cash, and some dead zones around the truck, that I would buy a bar to face the back and move the pods to give better all around lighting.

I got my light in over the week and took about 20 minutes when I got home to wire it up. It's awesome!

Here's the new light, I replaced the black plate that did absolutely nothing with the light


And here's the beam pattern into my front yard

For Christmas I got a flag pole holder that fits into my hitch but I didn't realize it was meant for 2" diameter poles so I stopped by Home Depot yesterday to get some PVC pipe to use as the pole. Hopefully I can get that project done this weekend and have a nice looking flag pole for less than $10 and I'll be able to fly a flag this summer while I'm cruising with my buddies.
