    I need to. I just don’t want to have to pull the light bar off. Really annoying to do so. I wanna find someone who can do it without pulling it.

    yep still the NP261HD. And that’s a good idea! When I find some time I’ll work on it

    LS Swap with RSG Tranzilla, Custom hi clearance front bumper, Relentless: Slider's, bed rails, rear bumper, Prinsu with 40" BD s8. Dirt Designs 3.5 LT. Archive Garage rear towers/shackle flip/SUA. King Air bumps. King LT Coilovers in front. King 12x2.5 in rear. ARB rear air locker and twin compressor. SCS f5's with 33" Ridge Grapplers. 20" S8 mounted in bumper, squadron sport fog lights, squadron pro backup lights, LP6's bumper mounted.
    pretty doubtful you’ll find someone who does a good job willing to do it with the light bar in place, the guys whose dine mine in phoenix twice doesn’t even like my prinsu cause it overhangs a tad and makes it a huge pain to get it aligned without accidentally touching the sealant.

    isn't it just like a couple bolts to remove the lightbar from those brackets? looks pretty simple.

    That didnt even cross my mind. apparently im brain dead.

    I drilled out the threaded holes in the roof and put in some huge m8 hardware directly through the roof. And to seal it up, I douched it in clear silicone all over the hardware. So I've been dreading dealing with that, but it never once occurred to me to pull the bar out of the brackets. thank you!:cheers:

    After reading this entire thread over a few days, I’m convinced you might be able to recover a good deal of the money you’ve spent selling the screenplay. It’s a classic plot: Guy falls for hot girl, almost has her, then she is diagnosed with a terminal illness, guy is devastated. Hot girl makes miraculous recovery! Guy is elated! Guy is about to marry hot girl, but hot girl is abducted and held hostage by an evil fab guy… Hot girl is freed from evil fab guy, but on the eve of the wedding is in a terrible industrial accident and slips into a coma. Guy holds her hand through recovery and they are yet again on the verge of bliss. Hot girl has grown addicted to the attention that drama gets her and has developed Münchausen syndrome, she exaggerates a small issue into a catastrophic one…guy realizes hot girl is also crazy girl, decides to move on. Later the guy’s coworker shares beach vacation pics with him and the bikini pics remind him of how amazing hot/crazy girl looks naked. He decides to give her a call just to “check” on her. One thing leads to another and he’s reminded of the fun that can be had with hot/crazy girls as long as one always remembers the crazy part! The End!

    it’s a hit for sure…

    I make it at work. Already getting paid to do it. Just whatever shipping is. Your still going to need to drill and tap the tube to put it on.

    Got to hang with @snowsk8air2 and the TacomaBeast guys today in the cinders. Truck did phenomenally. After my very last rip of the night, the truck was parked and idling, and it started pissing oil from the exact same spot it was last time. But it didn’t strand me which was nice.

    and my retarded ass was so distracted by the oil I didn’t realize my parking brake was on for the 6 mile drive back to the trailer:anonymous:.

    goes to show how shitty it is, shitty enough to not even notice it being on lol.

    Yupppppp. My improved racing remote filter mount, which has a provision for a cooler and a built in thermostat, is leaking from the thermostat cover. I think the move is gonna be welding the thermostat cover plate on.
