The Lair

I found some magnetic rock light mounts on Amazon. Made under can mounting a breeze.

 

That is nice. I plan on taking a length of aluminum angle iron and cutting it into 1" wide bits and making a bunch of brackets and riveting these things all over the place. Since I have 12 I'll do 4 on each side and 4 down the center-ish of the truck. I won't need to be as particular with placement because there will be so many of them.

 

Gone look like a UFO!

 

Not RGB? Unsub. How you going to get Insta cred if you cant have rainbows shooting out of the bottom of your truck like some kind of offroad disco?

These are great for wiring them up.

 

Damn, those cost as much as the lights themselves. I’m just gonna solder them all.

 

Just makes things easier for when they inevitably get smooshed.

 

*shakes head* Naw! That would NEVER happen...

 

Back when the #RoadTo1K was a thing.

 

Still a legend...

 

Thank you orange ratchet strap. You are a legend, to a much smaller scale, as well

 

Much smaller.....

 

I’ve never liked the design of the alpine relocate and this just proves it.

 

Are those taking chunks of the frame out with them? Crikey

 

Yeah, it's just ripping the frame. It's a dumb design. Puts a loooooot of force on a long arm and has barely any connection to the frame.

 

yeah thats a poor design, I would have at least put a big ol plate on the frame behind it to help with distribution. Factory body mount is pretty beefy for a reason lol

 

Yeah exactly. Reinforce the frame there and also add another connection point to the mount, similar to the lil b.

 

I never liked that Alpine design. Went with red goat from the jump

 

Seems to help a lot with load distribution. I went with lil b and had a plate welded over the giant hole where the factory cab mount was located for extra support on the 2nd gens. I don’t foresee any issues with this design

 

These shirts are sooooo fucking comfy.
