    Thanks!

    This weekend picked up a hitch recovery shackle and ordered some lights for the rear to use as work lights.

    Picked these up from SDHQ yesterday morning. Bought them during their black Friday sale. Thanks Jason, Vince and Ryan for ordering them for me.

    They will be mounted to the back of my roof rack as utility flood lighting

    Thanks Don!

    Being that this is my 3rd rig now I am at the point where its build it right and how you want it the first time then enjoy it. Right now I am single with very little bills and making good money so its the perfect time to build it because I might be in this situation always.

    You are on a winning path , with your thought process


    Going down to Tucson next week to lay my eyes on a rig built with the exact same parts mine is built with. Down to having Demello make the exact same custom front bumper I have, suspension and ALL of the lighting. I will be helping him with wiring all the lighting. Looking at pictures of his rig, it's identical to mine, but in green. Pretty freaky, but I am flattered that he thought that much of mine, to drop some serious coin, to make it the same.

    Next up for me may be a TRD Pro Tundra to try and get it into SEMA next year .

    Yup! Same here. I am definitely younger then most of the people there but love the passion they have about outdoors and their rigs even if it is sometimes just to "look" cool. I subscribe to the Overland Chef section


    Here a a few pictures of the Vison X lights. The picture of them is of them temp mounted so I could make sure that they were in the right spot. Hard mounted them and will finish making the wiring harness in the morning when the sun comes up. These things are unreal bright! :D

    Alex Not sure if VisionX makes amber covers, but on a dusty trail people thank me all the time for turning it out, when they are behind me . The amber just cuts the heavy dust real well

    They don't make covers for this style of light. Down the road I plan on adding a dust light but it isn't currently a high priority. I'll most likely add it to the AllPro CB mount when I go to add that.

    It is sure a stunning area! I have 3 or 4 day weekends every week so I am going to start getting out more. I really want to explore Southern Utah more and I need to use my National parks pass 3 more times by March to get my money worth.

    Just the rocks make me jealous, I believe I would have an excuse to go wheeling every weekend.
