DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Learned the hand over hand back in my autox days.

And... dont wrap your thumbs around the steering wheel.

 

The thumb is what always gets me

 

The worst one is probably the jeep guys, instintively sticking a limb out to catch a 2 ton machine

 

I believe that was my exact quote after that. hahaha.

 

I've seen a video of a guy in 4Runner had his arm out while driving to move a bigger limb and it caught his arm and couldnt move it in time and broke his forearm. Also if your rolling over don't push on the roof. Cross your arms over your chest and squeeze tight

 

Good to know. I didn't think they sold them

 

Link to the one you bought?

Yikes....I went down that hill and had no such incident. Would definitely be taking a breather after that

 

Bumper and lights, sorry.

 

You bet!

Last years Jambo was my very first meetup with other people, ended up buying the Camper shell from the guy in the next camp over lol.

These lights as Fog Lights

 

Interesting idea with the wide/cornering lights. I like that.

 

Yeah, I've been down and up a few of the paths on that hill with no issues.... That day I just decided to be lazy and not straighten before descending. Probably would have been fine if it wasn't so muddy that day. Lesson: take your time or you will scare the crap out of your passenger @thedrewsifer (and yourself)

 

I originally had the Driving/Combo lenses in there and there was too much spot for fog lights, I like the wide spread of the bottom half. So ended up ordering the full Wide Cornering Amber lenses from Bailey. They work so much better for fog lights I think, nice wide spread on the light output, great for fog and rain.

 

You prefer them to the standard "Rigid" style? Could you wire them up to the stock switch?

 

What do you mean by the standard Rigid style?

Baja makes a wiring harness that is plug and play into the factory fog light harness. Easy as Pie.

 

I actually remember that. I was on the very end close to the main road with a MGM Tacoma mine and a white 4Runner.

 

I am new to offroading also. Until I got my truck 4 months ago I had none. Went to CO and started on what was listed as a medium difficulty trail with no issues. I didnt use any of the bells and whistles the truck has. I never even used 4lo on that. I did use 4lo on other trails due to steep rocky and bumpy climbs bit that was really only for the torque. These Tacos in 4lo seem very capable with ATRAC. You can always follow me and watch me show you what not to do!

I need to figure out what cb and/or 2 way to pick up. Any affordable recommendation to look into?

 

Heck it is very possible we may have met at Jambo around the fire that first night... I am just horrible with names.

 

Just that I've seen Rigid's pods being advertised as fog lights in several places.
