Just for fun here's a comparison shot of the LightForce 240's compared to Wen's 170's (just sitting on top of her bumper):

The LightForce 240's are insane, but I like it! :wings:

Great progress.

Cheers,

Get Well Soon

Get well so that you can finish the install.

Bumper looks good, really good.

Those LightForce 240's are crazy. I think you could get an instant tan :sunny: from them, okay maybe not instant, but 5 seconds?

Also, how are you going to overcome the wind resistance of those sails? Are you going to have to move the radiator since the lights will be blocking all the cool air? :D

Thanks amigo... The antibiotics are finally starting to kick in after a week! Feeling good last few days, now comes the hunt for time. Hope to have it all up prior to the Super Bowl.

LOL, I am going to have to relocate the Tranny cooler up more to not interfere with the winch mount as it will not clear the winch by a half inch... close but need relocation.

Well Malaria is diminishing and the bumper is on with the exception of the winch... I ran out of time...

While the bumper was off I decided to get rid of the chrome, to suit my phobia, so I painted the chrome after a quick rub with some 320 grit sand paper and hit it with a Duplicolor Truck and SUV black. End results look good IMO.

Looking good!!! How did you get the grill off from the trim with out busting all of those little clips? I masked mine. What is the diameter of those lights they are huge.

I busted them all off then used epoxy to put it back together. I figure I will have to do it again, so then I will just use the dremel on the epoxy and do it all over again.
