    Looks good! I thought about doing the bulbs, but it's so clear on the knobs that I didn't like the random bright spots, if that makes sense. I found the tape helped to even the light out and keep it consistent all the way around.

    thread it on until the gasket (oiled) makes contact, and snug it down 1/4 turn. Never have a problem and I can sometimes remove them without the use of tools.

    Rebuilt my oem axles with some new boots and grease .the old inner boots were cracking and just about to split. While I was in there I upgraded to the ECGS bushing and repacked both diff seals and synthetic fluid. Turned out pretty good.

    With 143k and 12 years old I was surprised to see that my LBJ and tie rods were still pretty tight. Only thing that I noticed were my sway bar links boots were busted but still tight.

    The legs are adjustable so you can angle/tilt them.
    It probably would pool the way I had it set up in the pic, but was just seeing how it all looked and went together.

    Ideally you would tilt one side a little or both legs to drop the front an inch or so.

    It doesn't designate which county or department it is representing so realistically I can do what I like as it's no different than adding say a sticker/decal or such.
    They wouldn't let me do it if I was directly representing the Sheriff Office on the decal since it's not a department vehicle.

    A grassy slope works , if there is a crash it's on the grass and not black top.
