    If I'm going to be running the Hella halogen rally lights and eventually a light bar, should I do spots for ditch lights then?

    The thought has crossed my mind, to do this. Especially if I do a light bar.

    A lot of crap and too much money spent
    I point my ditch lights outward not straight ahead. I have the bar on the bumper for forward facing light.

    My ditch lights are about 30* out and I get glares
    AD6BAF16-F6D7-4A11-91CF-589BB11E3316.jpg

    It’s hard to see but I have 2 1”x1” pods spot and flood on each side and the flood is the outermost light to help minimize glare on the hood

    I like the size of them but I think I’m going to replace them
    Hopefully something brighter, and I plan to replace them with Amber

    Yeah me too, that’s why I thought why not try to do some more. After going to Death Valley with 15 rigs from OLB it was really fun. Similar to our run up north to deliver donations, there’s some cool people out there. RSVP if you can come!

    figured its time to introduce myself on this tread. moving from visalia to turlock by mid jan because my girlfriend is transferring for work. we are going to be moving into an apartment, so im trying to find someone that has some property or space available to let me store my camp trailer there, even if its just for a bit. still building on it and getting it ready for camp season :) bed and frame came from a 2000 tacoma that was parted out

    I saw you post in another thread that you'll be job hunting. What field will you be looking for?

    As for my 4x swap... I'll just be tinkering with rebuilding CVs, spindles, hubs etc for now. The actual swap will probably be in January. But you're welcome to stop by and shoot the shit and drink beer anytime you're up here, or once you move :thumbsup:

    not exactly sure on the job field yet haha. was in the army for 9 years, got out and started working at an offroad shop here in visalia. leaning towards going into law enforcement, so will probably just settle for any job to get me by until i can find an academy to get into lol

    Welcome to the 209!

    Ive seen the trailer build elsewhere (maybe you have a build page? Or maybe norcal spotted thread? I dunno, but i hope the dream stays alive). If i didnt live in a shady apartment id offer to help.

    I was looking at Modesto PD myself.
    What was your MOS? Could always dive into that GI money.
