    What's your reason? Less stress on the rope on angular pulls?

    Yeah I got the Derlin Rollers from Viking which are designed for a syn line and roller fairlead. But I am liking the notch on the vertical rollers from Daystar. Helps to keep the line on track. I might just pick me up a set. Good find!

    you mounting them on the top mounts?

    i've thought about getting a bar on those mounts but have it hang below the top bar...would require some sort of spacer setup though..

    I have the same thought, below the bar. There will have to be something done the mount it that way. Should be able to get something going with the tourchmate maybe.

    Yeah, I like the mountains. Your dad asked about the lights. I'll get them to him.

    Light output is ABSURD. Completely drowns out the regular headlights when on. In second thought, almost so much light output it's somewhat impractical. Didn't have a good enough camera to get a decent night shot, Just imagine looking at the surface of the sun.

    Very nice man! We use Rigid Spot lights on our patrol vehicle at work... they are AMAZING!!! I can definitely imagine the light output on that bar! :)

    were those the mounting plates they provided that you cut and modified to fit?

    Yes. The SR's come with 2 sets of brackets, the short ones you see in all the pictures and then long ones. I cut the long ones, then cut and welded some Heep JK brake line drop brackets to the newly trimmed Rigid bracket. You can kind of tell where the two pieces were different powder coat. The modified JK drop bracket is same thickness and already had the same 1/4" hole drilled. Easy as pie.
