You just HAD to post up a hidden winch mount... Now I have to go source some metal and get it welded together... Lol

And damn that looks pretty darn slick. I like the bolt on method instead of welding straight to the frame. Although not as strong, itd be easier to remove and sell later. Just slap on some grade 8 hardware and you're good to go.

Exactly. I love the removable aspect.

You are so welcome :coffeedrink: whatever I can do to make your wallet lighter.

Indeed, I love it! It's is pretty much what I had envisioned when I wanted mine, but my dad built it differently, which made it a huge pain to bolt on and sits a tad lower with the shackle mounts underneath, but I can't complain for free.
(I've also got a 2"BL so it shows more.

That is positive news on all fronts, congrats! I hear you on the frequency of the trips but other things in life also need attention at times, gotta keep it all within reason I'm usually up for a weekend trip so hit me up whenever you have the chance to get out.

I'm excited to see what you do with the new lights. I have such a soft spot for amber LEDs.

Good luck with the next big chapter!

Thanks gentlemen. It's a little tough to not indulge in trips and finishing off the rig, but every few hundreds (even thousands) count in the end. I'll be squeezing in a few more trips before the end of the year so it won't be completely cold turkey. :sombrero: Modding will be put on hold for the moment though. LEDs were the last bits squeezed in before the cutoff. I'm a bit sad about that, as all I really want are a set of Shrockworks skids and a winch to finish off the Xterra. Maybe Christmas gift...

My wallet is not yet heavy enough to warrant emptying... I was just being giddy. The girlfriend will definitely not be happy about that hahah. It's definitely going to be done sometime down the road, unless I stumble across a bumper until then. Thanks for the reference. I don't browse XN very often as most of the traffic is midwest to east coast.

Richard, I gotta say I really love the way that light bar looks. I hope the performance is just as good!

Also, you need that winch mount.

 

[stioc]

^ x2. The light bar looks great! good choice.

 

[Longrange308]

Hey! I didn't see any photos of that light bar at night, and you promised that you would post some up.. I feel cheated! LOL

 

[richard310]

Thanks guys!

I'm so sorry I didn't get any pictures up like I said... I've failed you all as an ExPo member lol. I'll be heading out for an overnighter this weekend so I'll be able to get some in-forest shots of everything.

Just a few from last weekend at Big Bear:

Nice! I like the lights on the grill. I've thought about finding three or four 1" LED marker lights similar to the Ford Raptors but never really looked into it that much.

 

[Jack Stilts]

Beautiful shots, sir. Love the amber LED setup. And that dog is awesome!

 

[mikiekimi]

Was that a Red Heeler?

 

[WMDunkin]

Great pictures, looks like a blast. Loving the set up.

 

[stioc]

Looks like a Blue Heeler (aka ACD - Australian Cattle Dog). Our dog is an ACD+Akita mutt, super smart but aloof unless he knows you well, a bit aggressive towards unknown large dogs- but I'm sure this has nothing to do with richard310's X so I'll shut up
