    Very clever idea. What are you using for a display screen?

    I used 25 strand 22 gage wire from Radio Shack with two 25 pin D-sub connectors and aa half populated 16 pin Molex connector. I used opposite sexes on the D-subs to be sure I didn't mistakenly connect them wrong. The connectors were close to the face plate, but I had to solder wires to have enough length to attach the connectors.

    Finally added the LED lights to the Nfab off-road bar. Regular nut on each bolt, then a pozi-lock nut, then JB weld on the end of the threads to do my best at preventing theft.. gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling but I still know if somebody wants'em, they'll take'em.

    That's awesome man! Cochrane Toyota AKA "Tacoma Town" is where I'm thinking of buying my lift from.. glad to know they are a good source! There doesn't seem to be alot of places for good prices on parts in calgary, I got a wide range of quotes checking around, some of which differed buy $500+ for pats alone... and they ended up being the cheapest.. a dealership.. go figure! :)

    The light beam seems to be pretty strongly diffused directly in front of the vehicle. Any issues with long distance visibility?

    I only installed the lights today actually, so I haven't had a chance to head out and "aim" them properly, but plan to do so. I took a quick rip on back road and it seems to light up everything for quite some distance, I'm no expert by any means and feel they could use a bit'o'adjusting! :)

    Nice setup, though. And you have the hood lights too!

    I also have the CBI ditch brackets installed but didn't put lights on them yet as I'm waiting for a switch from OTRATTW, once installed I'm going to aim the ditch lights slightly outwards on either side for the full wide light spectrum. or so I hope :)

    Mine are aimed like that; about 75 degrees to either side. Great for pointing out deer before you reach them.

    Exactly what I was hoping for! The only thing I'm worried about is, I have a friend on the Calgary Police Force who told me that pillar lights, regardless if they are lit up or not, are illegal in Alberta.. so I haven't yet come to a decision on what to do about that .. Very worst case, if I don't mount lights on the CBI brackets, they will make excellent Canoe carrying tie down points. :)

    Swapped out my old led map lights for some better ones. These things are bright!

    Thought I could do with stock UCAs, decided on this taco to do it right. New UCAs, wanted uniball, but winters too harsh here. @Wheeler's Off-Road, Inc

    Nice. Impressions? Those are the ones I'm leaning towards getting.

    Just installed it, looks quality, wish the arm wasn't a sticker, but the covers are nice that come with it (not pictured), easy install. Just wanting to get caster back in spec. I will post up alignment numbers and let ya know.

    Are you expecting any improvements other than alignment? I sometimes read about how UCA's improve ride quality. But maybe that's just bs.
