Pretty nice. Not far from me.

What is everyone using for GPS out in the Desert? I want to get a lowrance hds-5 Baja down the road but right now I don't go out enough to spend the $600 on one right now. So what are you guys using out there?

 

dust trails

 

my regular Garmin GPS works well enough believe it or not...just about all of the trails and roads are listed and displayed when out and about on the trails.

 

THats what I was looking to hear Tom. Is true you can upload gps files to them also and topo maps?

 

you betcha haha...if you have a Garmin unit you can purchase additional topo maps and what not...plus you can check this topic out to download a free SoCal topo overlay map..i use it often when out on the trails..pretty accurate

a matt r. original design

 

HA!

Ive had good luck with regular Garmins as well. There are alot of places around here that are very sparsely populated, and usually even THEY are on Garmins stuff.

 

I love my old Matt R. Sliders on the old truck. THey were WAY better quality then these shitty Demello sliders the new truck has. They are bent and not even DOM. Cheap bastards. Stoked to see your Light bar matt. Let me know if you need more pictures.

 

i'm stoked to see how it turns out also.

i can't decide if i want it to match the curve of the roof or just keep it straight, i think i'm ganna have to stick with 4 lights instead of 5 tho.

 

are the Baja 8" too big to do 5?

 

it would be tight but i think they can fit if they are close enough.

 

I was going to do 4-5 8" lights on the roof when my other lights sell. Im going to do all pencil beams on the roof and I bought yellow lenses for my three 8" La Paz on the front bumper.

 

i was planning the same thing. i'm ganna replace the spot lights on my front bumper with driving lenses instead. wide range up close and far range up top.

where is the base place to run the wires through? I have blue sea fuse block under the hood so the wires need to end up in there

 

Dude it sucks but just drill a hole near your light rack and silicone it up afterwards.
