    Ahhh yes. Those have since been remedied and no issues since. Been actually using the lightbar more now too with the addition of the RTT. It's nice.

    Ooooh what kind of toy?

    And im a big dumb stupid idiot. Its Fast and Furious.. I had to re-read it again.. And say Ferrari after it. :facepalm: :pout:

    Nothin too new.. Just a little refresh. Will look mostly the same.

    I like the 12+ headlights a lot actually.

    Really? I would gladly change to that double light look. Stock not so much, but the ones you have. Yes absolutely.

    Ahh you mean the aftermarket ones? Yes... I agree.. The aftermarket ones for the 12+ look terrible.

    And its not even that fast... truck is faster....because the bike runs out of numbers first :laugh:

    real quick mock up. Need to resize the logo, cut again, add a backer, then figure out what to do for behind it. Have a few ideas, just not sure which one to go with..

    hahaha.. no.. that was the first initial cost. headlights (back when they were still $300+ a set) retro's, ballasts, bulbs, etc.

    since the projectors and everything are still good and solid, no issues with them, its just the cost of the new headlights, which are now almost half the price.

    the rest is just all time and material.. benefits of my work.

    Welp.. I think it's finally time for a new battery.

    It has been dying on me fairly easily lately. Running the stereo or lightbar for just a few minutes without the truck on kills it.

    Currently sitting at thr gas station with a dead battery. Giving it a few minutes, gonna try again. usually works when I let it sit a bit.

    But.. Nonetheless.. Getting in on that Northstar groupbuy for a sweet ass battery.

    Scrapped the Northstar Battery idea.. wanted one.. but needed a battery yesterday, as we were on our way out of town for a trip. so bought one over the counter. Went to Sears and picked up a Die Hard Advanced Gold AGM for $160. 3 year free replacement. We will see how it is!

    Pics from the trip...

    Went up through Wickenburg, stopped for lunch at Screamer's and had an awesome burger! Continued up through Yarnell and dipped off the 89 just before Prescott. Went up to Groom Creek and Hassayampa Lake, then headed back once the sun went down via Senator Hwy in Prescott. Stopped for a beer then headed back home after stopping and visiting my Parents. was a great trip, very scenic and lots to explore. hoping to get back up there and scout out some camping spots. Saw a few fantastic look out areas. Plus... have to get back out there with a metal detector to find my wedding ring. :pout: Lyd and I got into a snowball fight and my hads got so cold the ring flew off. :eek: spent a good amount of time lookin for it.. but lost daylight.

    The exact route we took.


    near the top of Mt Union.
