    see Build page for details.
    Yeah it is even with cab. And yeah, if I didn't have the 3 extra HIDs on the front, I'd want the light rack a bit higher. I'd say about 25% of the light is reflected off the roof of the cab, but the way it sits now is fine. I really wanted lights that were high up and pointed down so I can see a bit over drop offs before descending. Also, The two inner lights on the rack point forward and down so I can see in front of the truck downward, and the two outer lights on the rack point slightly to the side and down so I can see down to the sides of the truck too which is what I like the most.
    There were times out at Pismo at night, before the light rack, when I was driving next to a drop off and didn't even realize it until I was almost already past it. That's not going to happen now. :D

    If I take it out night driving on dezert roads, I'd probably point the lights up a bit higher to see farther ahead at the higher speeds.

    he was just braggin about everything... his truck, how he doesnt need bypass shocks, his super low gearing, how he can do anything in the world better than everybody else, his shit doesnt stink, he can suck his own weiner, predict the future, and has x-ray vision.

    he really liked the sound of his own voice

    alot of metal, small engine, decent travel.
    caged, camburg long travel, 50t leafpack (soon to be installed) light rack over cab, 5pt harnesses etc
    okay if your lights werent on your fromt bumper how much higher than the cab would you like the bottom bar to be?

    my light rack is going to be close to the same as yours so i want to make sure i dont mess up lol, all i have is 3 kc daylighters on my front bumper


    that is the partial definition of "Bro"

    from what i remember he looked like a hobo that hasnt showered in like 5 years.. also his 4runner looked pretty cool. i remember he also pulled his winch line all the way out just to pull/roll it back in. also had a 256:1 ratio crawl box.. cool dude you can go 1/2 a mph... i can go 120x's faster than that.

    it was far more fun to listed to him and laugh... calling him out would have killed my buzz

    his 4runner was cool, not "beast" material in my book though
