    Obviously not a very good joke if it has to be explained... Was referring to all the lights you have on your car pointing in every direction.

    Got my second battery mounted today

    Welded two bolts in the mounts

    9f4c350054f01873652edcffd90df266_zpsce53_189a0f20bf8c438e44b4decb076f8970e1c8a1ef.jpg
    holy shit welding to the body is a bitch!

    48ca6e8fc423c4565b9ffced80e4ac3c_zps03b6_30c1cb0addab44588c2bcedfe620ecc31eb219ca.jpg

    Which I did outside today haha

    1ae2a20d5da8db0a028ce8a658881ea1_zpse411_15138ce4d7f238ee8e9197cc1630a687a559f3d3.jpg

    Tray bolted in. Thing is rock solid

    Looking good. Power wire is run to the side post off the solenoid.

    Now I have to finish wiring shit up.

    Might have to find some 0/1 gauge wire as I don't think I have enough.


    Also welded on my camp light mounts!! Works great. Just like I wanted. Can't wait to get night shots.

    And welded up my diff skid.

    Also..90,000 views :eek:

    Thanks for the support :D

    Thanks!

    Yea i thought about that..but really just decided that it would do more damage then good. I figured the smallest welding foot print possible would be better. And as long as the battery is solid. Im happy. Time will tell if they punch through the wheel well :eek:

    HA! no shit! Gonna be a bitch no doubt..

    and thanks man! :cool:

    Got back from a over nighter. Didn't get to camp till 1am. Holy shit was it nice having lights everywhere. And the high power front FOV is epic for spotting deer. I avoided many a crash last night. Just awesome.

    Here are some shots of the camp lights. I only had my iPad so pics suck and don't show how nice they are to have. Bed lights are also on. Very handy as well

    And the tent lights were awesome!! So nice not needing a flash light!

    Poser shot. No offroading :pout: all roads closed off and snowed in deep

    Was still fun though.

    Dual battery stuff worked awesome. No issues :cool:
