The grip tape is a really nice touch.
And the Speedholes should add at least 10-15 hp!
Thanks for sharing your project and the great work, Ok, I've been considering using the same idea to secure my cage to the body as you did here in these picture.........one question, how did you deal with the weather stripping on the rear hatchback and door? Did you modify it, cut it out or just go under it, and does it still provide the water proof seal?
Thanks,
Fred

I am disappointed you didn't make your own from aluminum or titanium or scandium or...

Hey Fred, I just snapped a few pics, hopefully they will help. You dont actually go tto or under the weather stripping, just the corner of the body. I did of course peel the rubber off when I was welding it, but just threw some black paint on it, and then reinstalled the rubber.

Thanks! That explains it! Were those supports about 16 gauge?
Once again some nice work there!

Since Stump is too shy; it's just the red one for now.

Numbers make Hilldweller's head hurt...
Markers are at 25yards L/R, 50 yards L/R, 75 yards L/R
Jeep is on the right side of a 2-lane road; camera on hood in front of driver. Reading are taken at 12" height from road surface --- this is an important stat since the LUX number could be higher at different heights. But, for consistency, the 12" number should be used to compare to other lights previously tested.
Ambient illumination from stars less than 1 LUX
Lights are aimed with about a 2" drop at 25 feet --- the lowbeams need to be aimed higher than many other types of lights due to the sharp cut-off and lack of ECE "uptick" for road signs.
Lux readings Lowbeam/Highbeam:
Stock Wagner Lights
25Right-17/ 16 * 25Left-2/ 4
50Right-1/ 8 * 50Left-0/ 5
75Right-0/ 4 * 75Left-0/ 4
25 feet, center of road, raw lumen test: 509/612
1 LUX at 125 yards center.

25 feet, center of road, raw lumen test: 465/1608
7 LUX at 125 yards center; enough to read by.

If Not Now When?
Those lights are quite nice. Thinking about someday doing something similar those lights are a bit out my range.

I just put a set of JW Speaker LED's in the Teal **********, (thanks again to Bill...) and I like them a lot. I would have to say I prefer the low beams on the trucklites in my DD, and the high beams on the JW Speakers in the Teal **********. They both are phenomenal though!
