    I may not be a smaaart man, but I do know how to gap a spark plug. :)

    To tell you the truth, only 2 weren't gapped correctly. I got my mount all fabbed up though, and you'd be proud, it's out of AL. Just waiting on those damn connectors...

    Switch (from www.aironboard.com), light bar, and aux fuse/relay box all wired up. Going to try and test it out tonight to see how how well they perform!

    I'm glad you got it all wired up!
    I wish I could have been of help...

    Tonight's the night. Probably taking the pup up to West for a little sunset fetch.

    I'll force you to help me do something to this thing one of these days! :thumbsup:

    Here is a little representation of how the light bar performs. I need to adjust the angle a bit but overall I'm very happy.

    High beams only

    Lightbar + highbeams

    And I gotta throw one in of the pup. :)

    I have to say, after driving with it on on the little trail I got accustomed to so much light. Going back to just the headlights on the road made it seem like my lights weren't even on.

    And to top off the night I got to see a jeep getting a tug job by a f250 all the way out of West. I guess they got stuck in the mud, stalled, and couldn't start it back up. :laughing:

    Lol, it definitely was pretty funny. I should have snapped a pic. I asked the kids in the jeep if they had fun and they were stoked! when I pulled up to the old man in the Ford he just shook his head so i said, what do you expect, it's a jeep! Haha. He lost his shit and just gave me a :thumbsup: :D

    Sounds like a plan ;)


    Hahaha

    Did you go up the night after I did?
    When I was up there the other night...the truck got pretty dirty after I had some fun in those muddy areas I'm still trying to get all that mud off....

    It dawned on me after I was driving up there that I should have offered my passenger seat to you....my apologies. You're always welcome to hop in my truck if you need to leave yours behind or don't feel like taking it out..etc.

    I went up last night to test the lights out. It was fun. Still has the standard 2 mud pools. Mud makes the trucks looks better you should just leave it on yours!

    I've never been up there, but I'd be down. I'll have to look that up right now!

    I feel like last time I talked to someone in the 805 thread about it they mentioned that it was mainly for motorcycles ATVs but like I said I've never been so :notsure:

    I finally got around to trimming my fender flares and reinstalling them. Took off ~1.75" all around. IMO it looks so much better with them back on! And I do have to say that I did a pretty decent job matching the line of the bumper!! :humble:

    Now to think of the next project.... :notsure:

    Thanks Dave! The dremel with a sanding disc was my best friend after the initial cut with the jigsaw. And the rubber edging hides everything I missed or was too lazy to fix. :p

    Gracias amigo!

    I think it's time to fab up an attachment to the swingout for my Longboards now. Gotta find my thinking cap. Any ideas are welcome :D
