    Here is my bolt setup. There is a locker washer on the inside and out to make it plenty stiff.

    Got some rubber hood latches semi trucks use for hold downs for the top. But they are too short. Gonna go look for longer ones at the tractor store tomorrow.

    Looks pretty sweet man.

    Since you have these. What do you think of a couple mounted vertically on my ARB like this, pointed kinda about 20/30* off from straight.

    Waste of time?

    I don't know why they're like 60% the brightness of the 6 led square lights though. I just don't see how I could mount those anywhere.

    ^Would the square ones not fit between the support brackets and the winch controls?

    I like that idea Max. Should work great. But yes e 6lz are nice but they aren like killer super duper bright or anything but for a side light like that I think they would work good so long as you hade some nice front facing lights too.


    But as this guy said. Maybe the square ones will work?? The squares ones have more of a diffusion lens on it tho by the looks of it..

    Got my switch Mabel how ill use it for now anyways. Plenty of room to expand on. The big covered toggle switch is going to be my master on switch :cool: will turn on all the lights.

    2b31e8396b99665f50d812e8ecf8bc6f_1bc47dcbde1f445a5d9e6dbc2775c8322eee46b8.jpg

    Also finally figured out how to mount my camp lights. They won't move like I had wanted but will still work good. Sadly I think I have to weld the mounts on now :frusty: so will be a while till I do that.

    Also going rig em a new handle for the bumper

    And I have to modify my diff skid to get it to bolt up but nothing drastic.




    And still a shit ton of wiring left haha

    Hmmm might do that..

    Was just gonna paint it black so it would blend a bit better with the interior..

    Dude I saw it and was like..YES!! Hahaha perfect master on switch.

    I will make up a working diagram to show you guys. I do relays a bit differently so it'll allow me to run multiple switches for one relay. Kinda handy really.

    But I'll make one up for you guys t give you an idea.

    That master switch is so much win! Someone pissing you off in front of you? Just flip that sucker, just for a second. It ll probably give them at least TWO heart attacks and a stroke, depending on age.
