Test fit the lights today and found it is much to bouncy and front heavy so I had to cut down the brakets. The lights will sit in front of the the forwarsd most cross bar but not by much maybe 4 inches now.

This is the final mounting location for the lights. I just have to touch up some paint and the wire them up. Th cross bar is a peice of 1&3/4" fence pipe I found and the brackets are some L brakets from storage shelves that were being thrown out where I work. I mounted the cross bar to the brackets with 1&3/4" muffler clamps and painted the whole thing with spray on truck bed liner. Total cost $12.00 for the paint, muffler clamps I had in my tool box and the lights I got for free. I will put up pics once they are powered up also.

so determined to figure out exactly what caused my blower motor to go out and make sure it wasnt anything in my dash. i tore into my dash today and pulled radio and ac switch which both seemed fine and didnt really smell like that electrical burn smell.... found bulbs bad in it and sure thinking im going to replace them while its out.... also pulled gauges out and half my bulbs are iether burn out or missing going to post pictures......

Bolted the roof lights up tight and took it for a spin not happy to much flexing. I am going to have to re think my plan. Back to the drawing board .

that's an almost daily thing for my nights on the forum.

lights are looking good Tony. hopefully you can get them more secure.



over the last few days with my truck.................

i played in the snow.....alot!
got my brother a golden ticket.
dragged the engine from my brother's RX back to his place.
picked up some new wieght equipement.
even though i finally got rid of my SES & increased my mileage (quite a bit actually) i managed to put almost 2 tanks of fuel through it.


sometimes i drive waaaaaay too much.
