    But you could have more room for the bigger case of the Karma drone. That would be cool.

    actually, you're wrong. Winches have been out before you were even born. I've had one on all my 4x4's. And, you're welcome, it was my generation that brought you the GPS
    GPS has been on the scene since I was in my late 20's. I had it back then too because I found out in a hurry the Forest Service maps are pretty much useless.
    Next.

    I should probably ditch my synthetic winch line and my weak fabric recovery straps before this trip, steel cable and farm chains are the best as well... It's what you probably used back in the day when your neighbor got his horse buggy stuck. :D

    he knows I'm kidding around.
    Back in the day, lol, we really did use tree branches, floor Matt's, lid off the cooler, whatever was available. This was usually done only when there was no winch.
    Somebody invented a plastic tree branch, that can be reused until it breaks. And it's #eaf.
    Kind of like that Al you mini um hook / binky thingy that everyone raves about. :D

    I guess I'm installing those HIDs since nobody wanted to pick them up either.

    :goingcrazy:

    Bracket will be sturdy AF and will have room for adding four total lights.

    And since i only posted the picture in the BS thread... This is waiting for the adhesive to dry, then paint again since it was chipping. Then cut the fok out of it for lights.

    Bracket... Going to make a center support bracket from the bottom.

    Light mount locations marked, time to try and slot the locations so i can move them forward and backward.

    I'm thinking I'll put these hid driving lights on the outside two locations leaving the center free if i wanted to add two more. Doesn't look like it but it clears the grill assembly.

    Not too shabby.

    Light mounts are painted and drying as well. Going to find somewhere to align them, snug them up and then cut up the brand new grill. :sawzall:

    If it was me I wouldn't cut it. I'd just let them shine through the mesh. Looks good man!

    I'll be cutting out the mesh directly in front of the lights.

    I like the way it looks as is... But that mesh is 60% covered... So I'd lose the benefit of running the lights if i block half the light. Rock chips happen, just part of the game.
