    What time of minor modifications? Looking to get some fogs for my Pelfreybilt bumper...

    My bumper's already on so also wondering how much of a pain in the ass it is to put them in under those circumstances.

    So basically it requires the snipping of the headlight mounts directly above the fogs, and then bending it back. These directions can be found on Pelfreybilts website and was probably sent with your bumper.

    Second, is that our mounts don't have a center hole on the bottom, so I ended up cutting the middle out of the bottom of our light mount metal bracket to center it exactly.

    Thanks for answering my question and putting up with my crappy autocorrect, haha. :p

    The bigger thing I'm concerned about is if I really have to take off my bumper to put them on.
    Not that it would be the end of the world buuuuut... It would definitely suck.

    Thanks! I actually found them on your site. I'm back and fort about ditch lights. I love the flex platform and will definitely use it as my top light and maybe swap out my 20" rigid when I get my bumper.

    Ah gotcha! The FLEX is a great lineup. For ditch lights, I'd also consider the G34 which is a killer light only pulling 16watts. It has good spread in the wide-40 pattern or driving beam pattern. You'd probably only need ditch lights to illuminate the ditch sides for where your bumper and roof bar wouldn't be lighting quite well as those are more forward facing. For any other purpose, you roof and bumper lights should cover it!

    I had some fun adventuring at Broken Arrow in Sedona this weekend. Made it to Submarine rock for sunset and then wheeled at night the rest of the time. Even at night, the scenery is beautiful while each glimpse is more and more special.

    I was also able to take some pictures, which I'm usually not focused on so here are some of my faves.

    My favorite picture shows off our new LED lantern that also has a built in 10,000 mAh battery bank for charging phones, computers, Spot or GPS devices, etc. Plus 5 different lighting modes. For $36 this thing is SWEET:

    Here's my Pro6 (roof) and my FLEX (in the bumper):
    LRM_EXPORT_20180204_101227.jpg

    Here's a night show of the Pro6 and FLEX shining on a rock wall about 300-350 ft away:

    Going off my last post.... All of us at KC try to embody our brand as much as possible, because we are the brand. All of us at KC and all of us here on TW are the brand and are the folks these products are made for. We all love getting out of the office to go on runs, and I'm gonna make it a personal priority to get out and adventure more often this year with less excuses. I'm gonna need TWs help in keeping this promise! @all of AZ crew such as @Cal671, @Brindybot, @Captain Magma, @05tacomabro, @NudeLobster, @mccombsworld and so on!

    We are hoping to have some real community participation for 2018 and I want to put together a TW and KC event so if anyone has any ideas, please shout em out. My ideas so far include, 1- a night run would be fun, 2- a lighting demo, 3- a lighting setup and aiming workshop etc, or anything else. This would probably be local to AZ or Southern California as that's where most of our folks are.
