    I'm thinking I'd like one of those light bars you have on the side, mounted on my ARB right above my lightforces. Can you hang em upside down? Would it be worth it?

    I would skip the wing nuts. Would probably come loose and I don't think you'd be able to get it tight enough to keep it from falling over. I'd just do some 'arm' type setup like I've seen guys use for roof mounted folding light bars.

    I think you can. Don't see why not. They will compliment the LFs great as its a good flood light and fill light. Then you LFs will handle the long range stuff.

    Not with lock washers :D but ill have them strapped down up top so the washer won't be taking all the load during moving.

    I'd like an arm setup..but idk how to attach to the aluminum pole..

    Well no real forward facing light will do that..the 21s won't. It's still a pretty strait forward through light. If you up graded your fogs that would help. Your next option I'd try is these and some small pod lights.(3lzs,d2s) http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/famous-fabrication/237474-hood-hinge-light-brackets-leds.html

    No I love the dark :cool: also like light..I do no why


    Lol :brianr:
