    Finally got my Rotopax mounted! Should have a 2 gallon water up there as well but it turns out I was the lucky customer that discovered Rotopax made their 3 gal extension incorrectly. Just have to wait for them to straighten out the issue now. :(

    Still happy tho! :)

    Me too! Just have to weld some new tabs on the front bumper and get her wired up.

    And I bought myself a V day present. New specialized hard tail. Another toy that ended up being more expensive than I first thought.

    It seems like every switch i want to buy from OTRATTW is out of stock, and there is no way to preorder or even a way to figure out when they will be back in stock. Does anyone know a way around this?? (I emailed them, but haven't heard back yet)

    well I did get to blind my roommate the other night when I was testing it out in the garage. "Stand right there and let me know how bright it is" :laughing:

    I'm waiting to get me aux fuse box mounted and switches installed before I permanently wire it up though.

    I got it from a friend in town here. Shawn. Don't know if they have a specific name or if they are just china stuff.

    Here is what he stated in the LT thread..

    I think it's safe to say my cabin filter was due for a change! :eek:

    Got my aux relay/fuse box built up. Just need to order some connectors up and make a mounting bracket and I'm set! Huge thanks to Pliny (Timmy) for hooking it up with the parts and know how to help me put this together! !
