ARB Flood's? or the Spots (or one of each) - i like those lights :)
I have VisionX light cannons on the 90's (spots) Nice lights but these are way tempting.

Both floods. This Jeep is being built for (mostly) woods use. The pillars are a driving combo, as is the lightbar...the idea being a mix of heavily saturated and localized low/wide mid to slow speed lighting, and 150-250 mid range/wide cornering on the pillars....600'+ range up high for speed in more open spaces...and beech running :)

Floods make sense.. Probably what i need as well since the use is slow/medium speeds. The Visionx are good but its mostly scatter pattern light in tighter spots.

Whoa....just for a reference, the tires on the Jeep are 37's. More than 2 ft right now, but at least 12 hrs to go!

We are getting hit pretty good here on the Cape, looks like yall to. Worst is the snow drifts 5+ feet tall here. Overall coverage is not to bad though.

Wow...I just took the dogs out in my backyard wearing only a t-shirt and boxers. And y'all think we live in igloos up here! ;)

If you'd hurry up and get all those lights on, it would be bright and warm! :D
That is a crazy amount of snow! Wasn't it just a couple of months ago that the Bills put an add in the paper asking for help to shovel out the stadium?
Any chance you could send some of that to California? Our snow pack is receding faster than an old man's hairline.

So what's the word on the suspension arms?

Lol :)
The arms WERE due tommorow...so by weeks end I'm hoping. They're sending me the 3 pc skid system and HD 3 Pc crossmember too. Clayton rocks! I was in a bind, and they located and put together the set for me...sweet! I'll be having both the crossmember and the two brackets for the rear arms welded to the frame. That may mean I have to leave my baby at the shop again next week :(
The good news is that both E1 bumpers are due there by Monday morning too, so with the winch sitting here, and the line due by tommorow, this thing may be essentially finished off by the end of next wk!

Heading back to BDR tommorow. The Clayton long arm set came in. Also their engine skid (Trans and gas tank skids didn't drop today...prob tommorow), the Master Pull Super XD line, and some Baja Designs lights I was waiting for...

Nice S5! Are those ADV rims? Wanna sell me your peelers? Lol

Thanks! No, they are Vorsteiner Forged 19's with 295/35 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. That S5 is why I'm not too concerned if I can take the top off this Jeep....on a nice day, I'll hop into that. Got 525 horses under her now....runs a 3.8 second 0-60...not bad for 4200 lb AWD car, right? The RS is the faster one though!
I kinda have a thing for German sports cars and Italian Bikes. Here's 3 of the 6 or so ;)

All right! Now we're ready for Armorgeddon! (See what I did there?)
The rest of the Clayton skids dropped today. Thinking a few coats of self etching primer, a few coats of flat black. Should be easy to touch up when necessary....
