    Hopefully the ones I have are strong enough. Been using them to catch beer caps...

    Do you have any more pics of your Srq ditch lights I was wanting to do some thing very similar just have a different mount. Also do you get much hood glare? You may have just made up my mind.

    I love them. Way more low profile than the dually style ones I had before. They are flood and I usually have them slightly out to the side so no hood glare. I'll snap some photos for you tomorrow.

    That would be awesome thanks man! I was debating between wither the flood or driving pattern to get the best of both worlds. Badass build! Really digging the roof rack!

    ECGS Bushing: is that a fix or pre-emptive?

    Both I guess. To fix vibes and tighten up play in CV on driver side. I drove it like this for 15k so I was worried my shaft was going to be scored from the needle bearing. But that was not the case.

    Thinking about investing in a nice D-SLR camera.

    Thoughts/recommendations?

    edit : update 7/30
    Picked up a Nikon D3300 with some goodies.
    - Nikon 18-55 mm VRII
    - Nikon 55-200 mm VRII
    - Nikon 10-24 mm f/3.5-4.5

    Pumped.

    Had some Wurton rock lights in my cart too but they will have to wait till the fall.

    Packing up for a week trip up to Vermont. Hitting a couple State Parks on the way up to Green Mountain National Forest, then into Burlington for a couple days and back home.

    Pretty excited to get out again.

    What part of VA you in? I meant to ask a while back. I'm in Bedford so I don't think you're too far out from me.

    Oh yeah. I lived in Burlington for 4 years. It's funny though. I spent most of my time exploring the Adirondacks while I lived up there and didn't explore VT as much as I should have.
