    Oh there will be some mods all right
    I have slacked off for too long so today I am finally going to test out the satellite texting device. Hopefully it works well

    Damn, if those were the Baja Boss ATs I'd be all over that. The Legends aren't 3 peak snow rated and that makes me nervous if I need to run them year round...

    It's clearly not working, I haven't gotten any texts from you yet. You best check the settings and make sure the battery is charged.

    Here's a map with approx location on the first two. #1 is called Second Trestle and you can see through the trees, #2 is Third Trestle you have to climb through a small dense patch of woods but no more than a couple hundred feet off the rails. The circled area is another thing that resembles something big, maybe a falls/rapids/rocky outcrop but I havent been there because hiking that far is a chore on the old railroad ties and chunky rocks. My feet were wrecked last time not because of distance but just stepping on all the hard irregular surfaces and it's slow moving (but you won't have that problem on your rail limo).

    It hooked up to satellite connection pretty quickly and sent a check-in text with location fairly fast. Receiving texts is still yet to be determined. Mosquitoes were pretty bad and didn't feel like waiting for the response from the person I was texting.

    I am thinking about my next mod being fog lights. I dont really know if I need them to be honest but I would rather have something there visually instead of the fake plastic cover that is on there. Now I was looking and it looks like alpharex just got into the fog light game and that could be an option. Its kinda cool they have a feature if you turn them off and then on within 5 seconds it can change it form white to yellow or vise versa. There is nothing online really about them though as they are so new. The other fog lights would probably be baja designs. I dont know if I want to sell an organ for some foglights though. I would also need the wiring for fog lights and the switch for the inside. Just some food for thought for me.

    Knock knock :wink:

    Sir, this is a @Diode Dynamics thread.

    :D

    In all seriousness though, the lights from diode blow anything Baja has to offer way out of the water. One of my SS3 sports from diode is brighter than two Baja Squadron sports on a buddy's truck. And the beam pattern and light colors they have are super easy on the eyes and actually functionally work. Not to mention they're excellent customer service and excellent product warranties.

    I have to agree with @CygnusX191 here. Diode Dynamics seems to consistently outperform any other fog lights. Get yellow. ;)
