    The outside all the time is an issue I can see for theft..granted..you can lock it in..

    But yes no matter what takes up bed space. But doesn't mean it's permanent. Just another quick disconnect hose..

    I will show you once I do mine :cool:

    this is sorta like the auto V. manual debate, so i'll stop now (we could probably go on all night)
    why is your one light angled up? did you hit something with it, or did you aim it up for seeing up a hill?

    shit happens, i think had the light on the side now been LED I would think the picture would have been perfect for a quick snap, too long of a shutter would have been too much exposure due to the lighting, really neat concept of a shot though

    well you still need about 1/60-1/30 for it to appear nataural with a low iso like 125-250. But one tiny jiggle at even that shutter speed..and you get what i got.

    every light i had on was LED save the ones pointed across the lake.

    you try and snag a single extending pod!!! I am so glad I did, makes taking photos of vehicles atleast WAYYY more stable :p

    not perfect but much better, I snagged mine on CL/Kijiji for a cup of coffee lol

    i think however the saying goes now "we work with what got applies :p" im having the issue now of finding time to shoot pictures I wheel so much at the front of the pack that I forget to take a camera and snap pictures...

    I made a switch panel that goes right below the stereo. Sadly it appears I haven't taken a good photo of it mounted. It's very clean though.

    The clock is a popular place for switches too. Where my locker switches will go as arb rockers fit perfect. Or you can fit 4 smaller switches there.

    I also have switches in the center console for the LF240s and mirror lights. This photo shows just the one but I have since taken the other blank you see and added another switch.

    P5281376_a2c2a08e4c7b3bb14d6104c6a7631cfeb3198ca6.jpg

    And I have one in the driver door arm rest blank too for the solenoid

    Another of the panel just to give you an idea

    Hmmm I might use the clock I like the console idea but I have the 60 40 seats I might do the clock with 4 small switches. Oh and I was looking at light bars and the nfab one I like says no drill tow hook mount do you think that means my actual bottom tow hooks?
